Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

Here’s a list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

14” MacBook Pro, M2 Max, 32GB RAM (2022)

This is the computer I use on a daily basis for work. I also have a windows PC that I use for gaming.
Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID

I used to use a mechanical keyboard for programming, but a couple months ago I switched to the Apple magic keyboard and it feels pretty good.
Apple Magic Trackpad

Who needs a mouse when you have a trackpad?

PHPStorm

I’ve tried all of the other IDEs and text editors but I always come back to PHPStorm. It’s the best for PHP and Laravel development.
Mac terminal (yes, the default mac terminal)

Why not? I’m honestly not even sure what features I'm missing out on with other options, but the default macOS terminal works just fine for me.
TablePlus

Great software for working with databases. I use it for all of my database work and it’s been a huge time saver for me.
Fathom Analytics

I've switched all my websites/projects to use Fathom for analytics. It's a great tool and powered by Laravel, which is really cool. If you signup for an account using my link, I get a 25% commission.

Raycast

It makes it super easy to do basic tasks such as opening up apps, locking the computer and much, much more. It also has a really good clipboard history.
