What I use

The M3 chip handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat — or spinning a fan, since there isn't one. Fast, silent, and light enough that I barely notice it in a bag. The battery genuinely lasts a full day of development.

Transparent design that still turns heads. The sound is punchy and clear, ANC is good enough to block out a coffee shop, and the yellow case is hard to lose in a bag. My daily driver for music, calls, and focus sessions.

Hard to argue with. Fast, extensible, and the extension ecosystem covers everything I need. I've tried others but always come back. Dark theme, Prettier on save, and a handful of extensions is all it takes.

Where ideas become layouts before they become code. I use it for wireframes, component design, and client presentations. The dev mode has made the design-to-code handoff considerably less painful.

Running in the background on every working day. Lo-fi and ambient playlists for deep work, something with more energy when I need to push through. The Wrapped data tells me I probably listen too much.

Still the standard for web development. DevTools is unmatched for debugging, performance profiling, and inspecting animations. I've dabbled with Arc and others but Chrome stays open.
