Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
Workstation
14” MacBook Pro, M4 Pro, 24GB RAM (2024)
I was using a M1 Macbook Air prior to this and it is a solid upgrade. Compilation time for most of my projects cut down in half, specially JIT.
Custom PC
I have assembled myself a custom PC with Ryzen 5800X, RTX 3060 and 16GB RAM. I use it primarily for gaming or when I want to compare the LLM inference performance difference between my macbook and this.
Development tools
Visual Studio Code
There is a reason why almost everyone uses it.
iTerm2
Don't know why but its my default choice for MacOS.
Productivity
ChatGPT/Claude
It is far from replacing developers but I use it to generate repetetive code.
Dash
It involves less steps than googling when searching for docs of libraries that I use frequently.
