What I use to do my work

Here I list my work setup for anyone who is interested. This is based on uses.tech

Software

Editor - I use PHPStorm as my main IDE. Although it's slow, it's very convenient for Laravel development.

Terminal - I use Warp after using iTerm 2 for more than 10 years, I like it a lot!

Browser - Brave & Safari

Password Management - I use 1Password for password management.

Design - Figma + pen & paper

Project Management - Todoist & Obsidian

Communication - I prefer Signal for IM, although I still use WhatsApp and Telegram. We use Slack at work.

Music - I use Youtube Music to stream music to my Sonos.

Hardware

Computers - My main computer is a 2023 Macbook Pro 14" M2 Max paired with an Apple Studio Display.

Phone - I upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro, and use it for film and photography as well. I'm more addicted than I want to admit. I used a Mudita Kompakt, but missed having a good camera with me.

Desk - Since 2013 I've always worked at a desk made of simple plywood which is laminated with Formica. I really really like the quality of this material. I just moved into a new office and ordered a desktop like this again. It sits on a Fully Jarvis frame.

Chair - I bought a secondhand Herman Miller Aeron Chair en fixed it. Best chair ever.

Notebook - I recently switched from Moleskine to Leuchtturm1917 notebooks. I don't notice any difference, but the Leuchtturm1917 are prettier.
