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

  • Alienware m15 R7 64GB RAM

    This is an amazing machine and powerful in such a small form factor.

  • Logitech MX Anywhere 3

    The most wondeful mouse I have ever used, long battery life, works over bluetooth and pair up to 3 machines.

  • Corsair K70 LUX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - RED Led

    A very good mechanical keyboard, confortable and not noisy.

Networking

  • Mikrotik RB3011UiAS-RM

    The main router, which serves my VPN and internet load balancing between my two providers. It is also the main firewall which provides network isolation to prevent IoT devices to have access to my other devices.

  • Mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+IN

    The main switch, with more ports than the main router, separates network between the Home, Office and IoT devices.

  • Mikrotik cAP ac

    The wireless antenas spread into the house for full coverage, managed by CAPsMAN in the main router.

Development tools

  • Microsoft VS Code

    This became my prefered code editor and IDE.

  • Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

    I love Linux but I hate spending time debuging the weird desktop issues that occurs time to time, especially with nVidia cards, so I run my development environments in WSL.
