Uses

Tools & Gadgets I use for my day to day professional work.

Workstation

  • 14” MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, 16GB RAM (2021)

    Mac M1 pro is a beast of a system which took me from a junior dev to the engineer I am today. I have made multiple websites and apps with this Macbook.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    I use VS Code as my primary coding IDE even though there are multiple AI Assisted IDEs like Cursor and Claude Code. I use ChatGPT for my AI requirements and do not use any AI Assisted coding tools as the I do not want to jump into the illusion of more productivity which will cause bugs in the near future which leads to longer dev time.

  • Claude - Paid Pro plan

    I use Claude AI tool every day even though I do not use their assisted coding IDE. I have 90% replaced google search with AI assisted searching of information and to learn concepts from it. Claude is a tremendous tool to both code and to learn tough technical problems in a single spot.

  • ChatGPT - Go (Free plan for Indian users)

    My go to tool for AI (but slowly getting replaced with Claude). I have been using ChatGPT starting from December 2022.

Productivity

  • Note Plan

    I take notes every day when I am working and write all my day to day notes in Note Plan

  • Ulysses

    As I make YouTube videos, I read everyday to keep up to date with the ever evolving Tech and AI Landscape. I use Ulysses to take notes on tough and advanced topics like JSI in React Native to get good with it.
