Tools I love:
Here are some mostly material things that have my life a bunch better:
Good ergonomics:
This matters a lot for flow, and for finding programming fun. Here are my favorite bits of ergonomics:
- A gas monitor arm for getting the right monitor position
- A kinesis 360 keyboard
- A herman-miller embody
These can be aligned so that my whole body feels at ease when I’m working, and it helps me stay in the zone for longer periods of time.
And obviously emacs.
Good sleep
- A good bed – use the money back return offers to iterate!
- A weighted blanket
- A good air filter
- (The right dose of) melatonin sometimes
Good food
- A nutribullet Blender
- A zojirushi hot water dispenser
Good exercise:
I haven’t figured out an exercise I enjoy in a way I can do consistently. Maybe dancing?

I got retested for allergies today, and they found more reactions using the intradermal tests. Turns out I am allergic to dust mites! Hoping that allergy shots will clear up my lingering night time asthma issues.
