Coder's Toolkit: My Productivity Power-Ups 🛠️
Welcome to my treasure chest of productivity hacks! 🏴☠️ Whether you're a coding novice or a seasoned software engineer, this page is your golden ticket to ramping up your game. Here’s where I spill the beans on my workstation setup (yeah, the one where all the coding magic happens), the software that’s like my coding wand, and the study techniques that keep my brain as sharp as a ninja’s blade. From battling bugs to brainstorming features, these tips and tricks are the allies I count on. So grab a cup of coffee, and let’s turbocharge that productivity! 🚀
Workstation
14” MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, 16GB RAM (2021)
Meet my trusty sidekick - this 14-inch MacBook Pro! 🚀 Lightweight enough to travel with me on adventures, and powerful enough to handle any coding challenge I throw at it. It's got a crisp display, and the battery just keeps going. Plus, who needs a clunky external keyboard when the built-in one feels like typing on a cloud?
MONITOR 24” Samsung LC24F396FHRXEN
My eyes are my treasure, and this single, eco-friendly monitor is like a spa day for them! 👀 The screen is a gem, and even after a full day’s work, my eyes are as fresh as daisies. Its curve is like a hug for my field of view (just don’t ask it to edit photos!).
Standing Desk
This standing desk is like a yoga class for my back. 🧘 With its adjustable heights, it’s got my back whether I’m brainstorming on my feet or coding while seated. It's mostly chairs and keyboards, but when I need some good thinking time, you’ll see me on my feet.
Fitness SWISS Gym ball
Call me crazy, but this gym ball is my throne! 🤴 It's like a fitness trainer and a chair in one. My back's never been happier, and my core muscles thank me. Plus, who doesn’t love a little bounce now and then to shake things up?
Development Tools
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is like a swiss army knife of coding. 🗡️ It's free and loaded with cool plugins. My favs? Github Copilot, TODOs, and Bookmarks. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out!
Git Kraken
Imagine a time machine for your code – that’s Git Kraken for you! 🕓 It's a visual git client that lets me zip through my project history. I use the pro version, but there’s a free one too. For simpler projects, VSCode has this neat extension called Git Graph.
Productivity
ChatGPT
ChatGPT is like having a genius friend on speed dial. 🧠 It helps me with everything – from double-checking my texts to brainstorming and learning new stuff. The plus version is like strapping a rocket to that genius friend. Give it a whirl!
Notion
Notion is like having a magic notebook. 📒 I can dump my brain into it, and it organizes everything for me. It’s smooth, sleek, and makes note-taking feel like a breeze. The integrations are endless - you can even run a whole project from it!
Grammarly
Grammarly is like my trusty proofreading pal. 🎓 It keeps my texts neat and my grammar on point. It’s a lifesaver for professional emails. Though, lately, ChatGPT is becoming my go-to grammar buddy.
