HARDWARE & SOFTWARE I USE

Code editor of choice. I have tried many others but, VSCode just works best for me.

A good playlist helps eleviate stress. It was a no brainer really, due to already having a foot in Apple's ecosystem. I have linked one of my playlists that exists in a state of constant flux and helps me get in the zone while working.

IDE for developing Android apps. Can be quite heavy but, my machine is more than capable of handling it.

IDE for developing iOS apps. Pretty much a requirement if you are going to publish apps to Apple's app store.

Makes deploying apps so much easier. Especially if I need to give a quick demo.

Crucial and handy. I have homebrew installed and this allows for easy installation, updating and deletion of packages that I may require while working.

2.3GHz 8‑core Intel Core i9, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz, with 16MB shared L3 cache, 16GB of 2666MHz DDR4 onboard memory, 1TB SSD storage

Physical test device for iOS apps. Space Grey, 4GB RAM, 512GB internal storage, A12 Bionic Processor.

Physical test device for Android apps. Aura Black, 12GB RAM, 512GB internal storage, 512GB SD Card, Exynos 9825 Processor.

Provides gesture support. Makes navigation feel flawless. Much like swiping and tapping on a touchscreen without having to actually touch the screen. Some may dislike like it but I don’t think I could move back to a traditional mouse. My only gripe with it is the location of the charging port.

Due to the fact that the laptop has a tendency to get hot while working, this helps establish a comfortable distance to avoid arm fatigue.

Allows for the elevation of the machine thus enabling efficient airflow and cooling especially when running heavy tasks.
