Gears

I thought some people might be interested to know what I use for day to day as a software developer. I do not have fancy equipment. I just have enough for what I do 😛.

Computer

27" iMac 2019

3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 | 24 GB RAM | Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB

Razor Ornata V2

I enjoy working with this keyboard. It makes enough clicking sound and you can customize the colour of your choice. The only downside is that this keyboard is not fully supported in iOS.

Logitech G403

I got this as a gift from a colleague. It's simple and matches the colour of the keyboard.

Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X Gaming Headset

I typically do not need to wear headphones but I need them when I attend a meeting or my kid running around the background. The only downside is that I cannot wear this for a long time (3~4 hours) straight.

Software

Jetbrains

Although many developers will choose VS Code as a text editor, I really enjoy using Jetbrains. It comes with multiple language supports and you do not tinker a lot to get it working. Also, it works well with docker which I find very useful when the system is designed with microservice architecture.
