Setup
The gear and software I actually use every day. No affiliate links, just the stuff on my desk.
WORLD 1-1 / gear
Hardware
- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D — 8 cores of overkill for a guy who mostly runs a browser and a terminal
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 — games, mostly. let's be honest
- 64 GB RAM — so I can leave 40 Chrome tabs open and not think about it
- Gigabyte B850 Gaming WIFI6 motherboard
- Storage — WD_BLACK SN850X 4 TB + WD_BLACK SN850X 1 TB NVMe, plus an SK hynix 500 GB SSD
- Three 27" monitors — Gigabyte G27QC A, AOC 27G51F and Acer VG271 P. yes, three. no, I don't need them
- HyperX Cloud III Wireless — wireless headset
- Corsair K100 RGB — keyboard
- UtechSmart Venus Pro Wireless MMO Gaming Mouse — yea, I'm a WoW player, of course I need an MMO mouse
WORLD 1-2 / dev
Editor & Tools
- Lazygit — this is a big one. git in a TUI that doesn't make me want to die
- Cursor — my editor, and the AI that does a scary amount of the typing
- PowerShell on Windows — bread and butter
- Chrome — browser, devtools, the usual
- 1Password — every login lives here
- GitHub — code, PRs, CI
- Vercel — push a branch, get a preview URL. hosts this site
WORLD 1-3 / cloud
Hosting & Services
WORLD 1-4 / side quest
Music
- Ableton Live — I produce music in my free time. this is where that happens
- FADR — stem splitting, see above
- Voicemeeter — virtual audio mixer for routing all the sound on my PC
