                        This is my main Intel-based computer which I built in 2022. I&apos;ve recently added more storage and
                        a new monitor. Click here to see a comprehensive listing of all the parts used in this build on

                          href="https://hermanmiller.com/en_eur/products/seating/office-chairs/aeron-chairs/">
                        I bought this chair second-hand when I started working for Apple, it&apos;s extremely comfortable and
                        ergonomic for those long hours spent at the desk.

                          href="https://amzn.to/3xAdgoJ">
                        I was on the fence about standing desks for a while but after some research I decided to give the
                        Maidesite T2 Pro Standing Desk Frame a try. This allows me to easily transition between sitting and
                        standing.

                        I use a mix of JetBrain apps for my IDEs depending on what I&apos;m working on. For JavaScript
                        projects, I use WebStorm. PyCharm for python and IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for Java. I use the same
                        keyboard shortcuts across these apps which is great for productivity.

                    <Tool title="Insomnia" href="https://insomnia.rest/">
                        Good tool for designing and testing REST APIs. I used to use Postman but I found the interface too
                        cluttered and prefer the simplicity of Insomnia.

                        Color Picker is included in the PowerToys set of enhancements for Windows. Using the eye dropper you
                        can easily identify colours on the screen and copy the colour&apos;s code to your clipboard for use

                        AutoHotKey features it&apos;s own scripting language and allows you to create keyboard macros for
                        automating common tasks. For example, I use AutoHotKey to toggle between dark and light themes in
                        Windows on the fly.

                        Floccus syncs your bookmarks across browsers and devices. It connects to my Nextcloud server via
                        WebDAV and keeps my bookmarks in sync, so no matter which device I&apos;m using, I always have the
                        same set of bookmarks.
