Is this you? Claim this kit →Hardware
In terms of hardware, I’m using a MacBook Air 13 M4.
I have the laptop open on my desk—an IKEA solid wood board on top of two IKEA Mittback trestles—I type on it, and sometimes I use its trackpad.
I also have a Magic Mouse on the desk.
I sit on a Varier Thatsit that is quite literally falling apart after 10 years of wear, but it costs too damn much to fix, so it will stay the way it is for the foreseeable future.

I have Codekit running as a companion app to take care of a few things.
I use Transmit to connect to clients’ servers.
