My desk setup

Taking a page from Wes Bos' /uses page.

Software

  • For writing code:
  • My favorite Font: Fira Code
  • Current Terminal: WezTerm
  • My Dotfiles repo repo.
  • In Your Face is an app I couldn't live without. It blocks your screen when you have a meeting with a big modal. I haven't missed or been late to a meeting since I got it.
  • Lazygit for reviewing commits
  • Tmux
  • Arc Browser
  • For Calendar & Email I use Fastmail.

Hardware

  • My desk is a L-Shaped Standing Desk from Uplift Desk
  • I sit on a Herman Miller Aeron I got off craigslist for cheap.
  • My "monitor" is a 48" LG C1 OLED TV with a 5 year warranty from Best Buy that covers pixel burn-in. I fell in love with OLEDs when I got one for my living room. Its a big screen at 48", but I run it at 4K and from where I sit, the DPI is quite comfortable. I just have a huge wall of screen to use which is great.
    • I have four devices connected to that all share a common set of peripherals via a USB switch:
      • My work laptop
      • My personal laptop
      • Gaming PC
      • Playstation 5 / Steam Deck
  • My keyboard is a Ultimate Hacking Keyboard v1 that I crowdfunded in 2015 and received in 2018. I've been using this keyboard close to 6 years now and its the best mechanical keyboard I've ever used.
  • I use a Glorious Model O mouse, its nice and lightweight for gaming.
  • Apple Airpod Max Headphones
