Summary

Managing my schedule.

Summary

Codex behind my own API key — playground, docs, and usage in one dashboard.

Summary

Probing my sites every five minutes so I hear about downtime first.

Code

My GitHub profile.

Device

Why

Twelve buttons down the left side, two more in the middle, and multi-key combinations on top of those — about fifty shortcuts from the mouse alone.

Device

Why

The shortcuts I reach for most often live here. It has layers, so the same keys do different things depending on which layer is active, and every one of them is customizable from Work Louder's Input app.

Device

Why

I am looking at a screen for most of the hours I am awake.

Device

Why

At least an hour of walking a day, under a sit-stand desk, while I work.

Sitting for eight hours or more a day carries a measurably higher risk of death, and it is not something you can undo with the occasional workout. What does undo it is roughly an hour of daily moderate activity: a harmonised meta-analysis of more than a million adults found that about 60–75 minutes per day seem to eliminate the increased risk of death associated with high sitting time.

Device

Why

Very high quality, and I enjoy listening on these far more than anything else I have worn.

I bought them many years ago, so there are almost certainly newer and better models out by now — this is just what has been on my head the whole time.

Why

An investment, for sure. There is also a reason it is probably the most famous chair in the world.

It supports your lumbar and it is comfortable in the particular way that keeps you productive rather than sleepy. Half of big tech sits in one, Meta included. Even God sits in one in The Simpsons.

If you sit for long hours, it is worth considering.

And it is designed beautifully enough to be treated as art: the Aeron is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
