Inspired by Wes Bos’ Uses page - the hardware and software I use for web development on a daily basis.
Hardware
- Dell Optiplex 9020 with Windows 10 Professional (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
- Dell UltraSharp U2715H 27” LED monitor
- Samsung 24” SyncMaster 2494HM as a secondary monitor
- Mac mini (2018) as a secondary computer for playing music and browser testing mainly.
- Apple Wired Keyboard with numeric keypad
- Elecom EX-G L Bluetooth Mouse
- Logitech C626 HD Webcam
Software
- VS Code for code editing. Check some of my favourite extensions
- Beyond Compare 4 Professional for uploading static site content to Amazon S3
- GitHub Desktop App
- Oracle VirtualBox for testing old IE versions
- KeePass 2 for password management
- Slack for team chat
- Gulp for build scripts
I occasionally work on MacOS too with most of the above and also:
- Hazel for automating tasks such as image compression
- ImageOptim
Mobile
When I’m on the move I use:
- iPad Pro 10.5” with Apple Wireless keyboard
- Panic Code Editor Text Editor and File Manager
- Chrome Remote Desktop for the times when I need to remote-control my PC
