Uses page

As many others before me, this is my "uses" page. It lists the stuff I use on a regular basis. I update it from time to time.

Software

• Editors/IDEs
  • Visual Studio Code I used sublime text 2 and 3 before switching to vscode when it became popular;
  • PyCharm
  • WebStorm
  • PhpStorm
• Browsers:
  • Google chrome
  • firefox
• docker because this is 2020 and it makes things way simpler;
• 11ty for this site;
• iterm2 Couldn't do anything without this. Might do a post in the future about my setup/dotfiles;
• ImageOptim Gotta compress those megabytes down;
• Franz to keep me somewhat connected;
• GitKraken and Git Imagine working without version control...
• Fira Code The is probably the best font for coding, at least for me. It supports ligatures so that's an awesome plus!

Services

• Dropbox I don't think this one needs an introduction;
• BackBlaze If my computer dies, this makes sure I do not lose anything;
• GitHub to keep my stash;
• DigitalOcean to host this website and other projects. Before that I used Linode;
• Spotify because I need music when working but I certainly do not need ads;

Hardware

• MacBook Pro 16" (2019) I've been using them for quite a while and I'm not sure I can go back to anything else. I wouldn't mind to be surprised though;
• Samsung 34" SJ55W Ultra WQHD Monitor Took me a while to get used to it since it's not curved, but now I love it. For my next one, I might go with something with a bit more curves though;
• Apple Magic Keyboard & Apple Magic Mouse 2 Because it's always more confortable to have something other than the keyboard and trackpad of the MacBook;
• Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam Needed one after starting to work from home;
• Audio 😌
  • Sony WH1000XM3/B Love those. Really good when using during long hours;
  • Airpods & Airpods Pro awesome listening experience and you can't beat them on practicality;

Other

• Desk because I need something other than the couch to work
  • Ikea Gerton Tabletop
  • Ikea Alex drawers on the left side
  • Ikea Lerberg Trestle on the right
• Chair
  • Ikea Långfjäll chair Not bad or good either. Might change it the day I do more remote;
  • Ikea JÄRVFJÄLLET charu Better than my last one. A bit on the hard side though;
• Backpacks
  • Samsonite Proxis Biz Backpack in black to carry my MacBook around;
  • Burton Bravo Backpack in True Black Heather Twill to cary my other stuff around and my MacBook too;
• 24Bottles Clima Steel Bottle to stay hydrated. This will keep your water fresh way longer than you think;
