Desk setup
I have the famous set/standing
IDÅSEN
desk from Ikea
I'm sitting on
SIHOO
Ergonomic office chair
while standing I use
FLEXISPOT
Floor mat, which makes standing for long time less painful
Screen light
BenQ ScreenBar Pro
Great when I work late at night
Hardware
I have an old Mac-mini 2018 as desktop computer:
3.2 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7 32GB DDR4 RAM Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB 1TB SSD Macbook Pro 2022 with M1 for portable work and presentations
The monitor in front of me is a 32inch
Samsung U32R59X
and the one on my right is a 27inch
Samsung C27F396F
I use (
apple's Magic keyboard
)
NuPhy75
Mechanical keyboard with low profile switches and Gateron blue
I switched to use Apple's
Trackpad
after long time using
Logitech M330
silent mouse
I use
Sony WH-1000XM3
as my main headset , mostly now on AirPods Pro II specially with the noise cancellation
I use
Blue snowball
as my main mic for recordings and meetings
Videos are usually shooted using
Canon 80D
camera, standing on a desk mount called VIJIM (recommended)
I'm using the above camera as a webcam with the use of Elgato Camlink HP Envy Photo 6220 as a printer
iPhone 11 Pro Max, still don't feel the need to upgrade 🤷♂️ iPhone 15 Pro Apple watch series 4 , again it is sufficient for my
needs and don't feel to upgrade
Kindle Oasis for reading and listening to books
I use the famous Logitech R500s as a clicker for presentations
Software Bitwarden as a password manager
Notion as my main note taking
app
Miro as a mind mapping tool for
charts
Day One for the first time (Jan
2022) for my daily journal and so far so good
Mainly using Raycast as
launcher for being extensible and fast
For daily Todos I'm using Todoist
pretty nice and focused, also love the 2 ways binding with my
calendar.
for video editing I'm currently using Adobe Premiere Final Cut Pro TechSmith Camtasia Dozer for
organizing menu bar icons
more about what I use checkout my dotfiles on
Github
Developer Tools
I'm using VSCode as my main code editor, usually on
Night Owl
dark theme, and font Victor Mono
mostly italic .
I'm using Chrome Arc as my main browser, but sometimes
I use Safari as well
I use Git for all my projects and use Github for hosting my
side projects
Terminal wise: I used Zsh for long
time and switched to fish
later, (I explored Fig and liked it
with some concerns, and recently Warp and loved how fast it is
_build with Rust_)
REST client: I used Postman
but for long time I depend on Insomnia as Postman was not
working on linux before, and recently I discovered an extension in
VSCode called
Thunder Client
which make it easier and faster
