Uses 🧰
These are the various tools I use that add notable value to me and make me more productive.
- Professionally, I’m mostly using TypeScript for NodeJS and React development.
- I’ve been having a lot of fun with Go lately for some of my personal projects. It’s taught me a lot about how to write better code in other languages, too.
- Looking to learn some functional programming languages next when I get some time (algebraic data types look amazing). I’m thinking OCaml or F#.
- My note-taking process has been in dire need of a revamp for a while now. I mostly use Notion to store a table of references whenever I find something useful, but I don’t have a good system for reviewing/organising them. I’m currently experimenting with the GTD system using Apple’s Reminders app to see if it can help me with this.
- At home, I tend to use my PC for most things, but I also have a MacBook Pro 13” for when I’m on the go.
- I’ve set up my PC to dual-boot Windows 11 and Linux, but I do most of my development on Fedora Linux. Specs:
- Currently, I’m using an iPhone 11 as my phone and have done so since 2019. I’m very pleased with it and the battery life is still going strong 💪.
- Using an iPad Pro 11” 2nd Gen for casual browsing and reading. I bought it on Apple’s refurbished store and it’s basically brand new. I’d recommend buying Apple products there if you’re looking to save some money and increase reusability.
