Is this you? Claim this kit →Hardware
I mainly use a MacBook Pro (2017, 13", no touch bar).
I have an iPhone 6 that I use for testing and sometimes for music production.
Coding & Development
I mostly work in the terminal and use vim as my editor.
I've found Valgrind very useful for tracking down memory errors and leaks.
Design
I occasionally use Blender for 3D modelling or trailer production.
Media
Sometimes I'll also use iMovie for trailers, though it doesn't give as much control as Blender.
Other
I also have an older desktop (Intel i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, GTX660 GPU, 1TB mechanical HDD, 23" monitor) with Linux and Windows 7 that I use less often, mainly for testing or playing games.
