Computer: My only machine is a 13" MacBook Air.
Thunderbolt Display+ 37 others
I put the laptop into clamshell mode and connect it to a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display.
I use a Wacom Intuos tablet instead of a mouse.
I use a Realforce keyboard and recommend it to all hackers.
Happy Hacking Keyboard+ 5 others
By the way, Kenneth Reitz uses Happy Hacking Keyboard PRO, another awesome keyboard with replacement key switches made by the same manufacturer.
I've been using a JVC HA-FXC51 for a year now.
Communication
I'm the original author of MessagePack, an open source object serialization library.
Productivity
I use Numbers to draw diagrams quickly for documentation.
I want to mention Quicksilver as well, a small but awesome launcher utility.
Browser
Coding & Development
I use GitHub to publish code and communicate with collaborators.
Ruby is my language of choice.
Java has an older style, but I sometimes use it to leverage the JVM (especially its garbage collector) and the multithread libraries.
I'll also use C if I need it for performance optimizations.
Design
Storage
Other
I'm also the author of Fluentd, a log collection tool.
There days I'm using Amazon EC2 instead of my own physical servers.
I also like Gyazo, a simple tool to share screenshots quickly.
