Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I'm being productive when I'm really just procrastinating. Here's a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • Linux Mint 22 desktop

    While I do use Windows 10 for certain apps that won't run on Linux, I use Linux Mint 22 for all my development work.

Development

  • Cursor IDE

    I've been using Cursor for all my development work. It's a great IDE based on VSCode but optimized for AI assistance.

Design

  • Inkscape

    I've been using Inkscape for the majority of my vector graphics work. It's a great vector graphics editor that's free and open source.

  • Gimp

    I use Gimp for most of my bitmap graphics work. It's a great image editor that's free and open source.
