Tools I use

Inspired by uses.tech where developers share their hardware/software/tools they use regularly. Here are my tools, updated for 2023.

Software

Terminal: iTerm2 with
- zsh and oh-my-zsh with my slightly modified version of the cloud theme
- base16-shell and base16-iterm2
- zoxide - the replacement for cd command.
- dotfiles
Vim for a quick editing from the terminal. Here is my .vimrc.
Git: I use command line Git with delta to render better diffs and logs
JetBrains Mono fonts in both code editors and terminal.
Terminal colors: I have both dark and light themes set up and use depending on the light conditions. I create dark and light aliases to switch between base16 themes.
- dark: base16_material-darker
- light: base16_google-light

Computers: I use

Keyboards: Ginkgo65 65% mechanical keyboard at work and a custom Tofu 60% mechanical keyboard at home.

Headphones: I have ~~a few~~ too many of them for my various use cases

Sony WH-1000XM4 for office work
Audio-Technica M50x with Audirect Beam 2se DAC/Amp for music listening
JBL Quantum 100 for calls and remote meetings. (This one has a really good mic!)
Soundpeats Air3 for commuting and workouts

Note taking: Any normal notebook and a black pen.

Not something I use everyday, but still worth mentioning.

Digital camera: Fujifilm XE-1 digital camera with TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 manual focus lense
Bike: 2022 Nich Faith 2 road bike which I use for commuting to work and sometimes for recreational cycling.
