Tools I reach for.

64GB RAM, 2TB SSD. The most reliable machine I've owned. Compiles our Rust monorepo in 90 seconds.

27" 5K Retina. The text clarity is unmatched. Pairs with the MacBook for a dual-screen setup.

Vertical orientation for terminal + docs. Cheap, reliable, 4K. Perfect for the third pane.

I tried every mouse on the market. Came back to the trackpad — the gestures are irreplaceable.

Low-profile mechanical, brown switches. Quiet enough for calls, tactile enough for long sessions.

For calls. The transparency mode is so good I forget I'm wearing them.

For deep work. Noise cancellation that lets me forget the world exists.

VS Code fork with AI baked in. I use it for everything now. Cmd+K is muscle memory.

My font everywhere. Ligatures on, 14px, line height 1.6. The only font I've used for 3 years.

Mitchell Hashimoto's terminal. Fast, GPU-accelerated, beautiful. Replaced iTerm2 + Alacritty + Kitty.

Minimal prompt. Shows git status, language version, and nothing else. No bloat.

Three panes: editor, server logs, terminal. Always. The discipline saves context switches.

When I'm on someone else's machine. Pre-configured kickstart.nvim. 30 seconds to feel at home.

Replaces Spotlight. Window manager, clipboard history, snippets, AI chat. The hub of my workflow.

Issue tracker. Clean, fast, keyboard-first. I've tried them all — Linear wins.

Design + handoff. I prototype in Figma before writing a line of code.

Personal knowledge base. Markdown files in a git repo. Synced via iCloud. Mine forever.

Replaced Chrome. Spaces for contexts (work, personal, research). Cmd+T to switch.

Every password is generated, every login is unique. The single best security decision I've made.

Stand for 4 hours, sit for 4. The motorized transition is silent on calls.

Best chair I've owned. 8+ hours of sitting with zero back pain. Worth every dirham.

Monitor light bar. No glare, no eye strain. The single upgrade I recommend to everyone.

Webcam. The built-in MacBook camera is fine, but clients notice the difference on calls.

USB/XLR podcast mic. Sound like a podcast host on every call. No more 'you sound muffled'.
