Uses

If the stuff I use every day is of any inter­est, here’s what I’m using.

Editor & Terminal

• VSCode is what I use most often for cod­ing HTML, JS, and CSS. Out-of-the-box, it’s quite busy, but Make VS Code Awe­some real­ly helps fix that.
• PHP­Storm is what I turn to when doing PHP which is almost always in the con­text of work­ing on a Craft CMS plu­g­in.
• Sub­lime Text is my oth­er text edi­tor. Yes, a third text edi­tor seems like overkill, but Sub­lime Text is fast and unfussy.
• Prompt 3 is the ter­mi­nal I use on my Mac and iOS devices. I like that it uses SSH keys stored in my secure enclave on my machines. It also syncs my favorites across my devices. Warp is my oth­er ter­mi­nal. It’s AI fea­tures are mak­ing it a close con­tender to Prompt.
• I use Mono­lisa, a beau­ti­ful mono-space font for my code.

This site

• The site is built with [Craft CMS](https://​craftcms​.com] with a MySQL data­base.
• I built the serv­er with Lar­avel Forge on Dig­i­tal Ocean

Desktop Apps

• I’m a huge fan of Alfred.
• Key­board Mae­stro
• Git Tow­er is the GUI I rely on to inter­act with my git repos.

Recording

• If you are a client of mine, you’ve prob­a­bly received per­son­al screen­casts from me. I use Cam­ta­sia for Mac to make these videos.
• I use a Shure MV51 micro­phone.

Computer

• I’m cur­rent­ly using a Mac­Book Pro.
• I have the LG Ultra­fine 5K exter­nal mon­i­tor and an inex­pen­sive Dell 4K mon­i­tor.
