The only laptop I've owned that keeps up with Figma at 4k.
Single 5K is better than two 4Ks. Fight me.
Hall-effect keys for analog travel. Type fast without breaking carpal tunnel.
For fidelity work. Trackpad for everything else.
The cliché. The cliché is correct.
Only for multi-file code dives. Portraits hurt my eyes.
Variables, auto-layout v5, component properties, branching. The whole stack.
For interactive prototypes I actually want to test in the browser.
Still unbeatable for motion mockups before code.
Tokens → Style Dictionary → Tailwind. One source of truth.
For the ugly-sketch stage. Cannot be replaced by a Figma doodle.
Cursor + Claude + Sonnet-level model. Changed how I write React.
The default. Still the best ratio of speed to correctness.
If it moves, it's in here.
Primitives I trust so I can be opinionated about the visuals.
Living docs + visual regression. Non-negotiable on any team project.
Because the deploy story is the design story.
Spaces per client, profiles per persona. Ruined Safari for me.
Launcher, clipboard, snippets, window manager, hotkeys. Replaced six apps.
The only issue tracker that made me like issue tracking.
Daily notes, weekly reviews, permanent notes. I am not a Zettelkasten purist.
Tasks. Not notes. That's Obsidian's job.
For reasons I do not want to discuss in public.
