Here are some of the tooling and software that I personally use and find valuable. I will update this list periodically, as needed.

Hardware

  • MacBook Pro 14", 2023 Edition - The M-series chipset is a beast.
  • Samsung 32" Smart Monitor M7 4K UHD Monitor - I landed on the 32" Samsung because it was given to me as a gift in November 2022. So far so good. It features a USB-C port for display and supports of up to 65W power delivery for charging. The display is crisp and offers good color quality. If you are using a MacBook, I recommend installing BetterDisplay for flexible HiDPI scaling and custom screen resolutions.
  • Kensington SD2600T Thunderbolt 4 Hub - This dock is a fantastic choice if you just need additional Thunderbolt 4 ports. I personally use it to easily connect and disconnect my devices alongside my display monitor. If you require extensive peripheral support, I recommend considering CalDigit.
  • Log MX Mechanical Mini Keyboard & MX Master 3S Mouse - I have been using these since 2022. Prior to this, I was using a Keychron K3.
  • Apple Magic Trackpad - Ideal for situations where a trackpad is more convenient.

Software

  • 1Password - It offers support for OTP and Passkeys, which is really convenient.
