I have a ThinkPad X230 and I like it.
Productivity
When I want someone to review my writing, I use Google Docs.
Browser
Notes
GoodNotes on iPad incomprehensibly does not have a tool that lets you make squares (you need to draw the square by hand and hope that the software magically recognizes that it was a square and straightens it up for you).
Anyway, I use Squid on Android and it's very very good.
Coding & Development
Design
Other
I work as a software engineer at Stripe.
I write my blog in the Hugo static site generator.
My mom is awesome and I am so happy she bought me computers to do weird software stuff on!) and it really was not gonna run GNOME.
Now I am tired of configuring software (and I have a fast computer!!) and I would rather spend my spare time writing about amazing computer things I've learned than configuring Arch Linux :) :)
