Setup and Tools v2024

Following the original setup and tools and the Version 2022, I think it's time for the current setup and tools.

Hardware

I've been working on planning, designing, coding, and testing what I hope will be a company one day and I needed a slighly more powerful machine, so I went with a MacBook Pro 14" with the M2 chip. That chip and 16Gb of memory make the machine fly!

The whole setup while in my office is:

MacBook Pro 14" M2
27" LG UltraFine 5K IPS LED Monitor
Keychron K3 Ultra-slim Keyboard
Apple Magic Mouse

Software

The desktop background is the M2 MacBook Pro Schematics from Basic Apple Guy

I use Mac OS stock tools whenever possible. They are simple and they get things done.

The additional tools I use are:

Auer Notes
Auer Jot
1Password
Dropbox
Spotify
GCC, GO, and Xcode (for development)
Sublime Text
iTerm
Little Snitch
Backblaze (backup)
Google Chrome (for testing the webapps)

As always, simple tools, simple setup, and an uncluttered way of working, giving myself restrictions. No complications.
