What follows is a The Setup-style article of what I use to get things done.

Who are you, and what do you do?

I'm Ojas. I write software for a living.

What hardware do you use?

I'm still using a 13" Mid 2011 MacBook Air. It seems to keep on rocking and I haven't found the need to get something more powerful yet. I have an iPhone 6 I use a lot too.

And what software?

I use Sublime for most of my text editing, although I prefer to use Mou MacDown for Markdown files.

I use Homebrew for package management, Git, Github, and Bitbucket for source control. I use Pixelmator for general image editing.

I do most of my programming in python and should probably get more familiar with PyCharm. I've heard MacVim with Janus is a good way to make the transition to Vim, which is something I would like to make time to learn.

I'm kind of obsessed with being happy and productive when I code. I use RescueTime for staying efficent and focused and have started using Track Your Happiness Tracker after hearing Matt's TED talk.

I'm trying to automate life's boring tasks. I publish a calendar on my website to help people schedule meetings with me. Of course, I use automatic billpay any time I can. I have a hodge-podge of scripts that use Boxcar, Ifttt, and my bank's account notifications to alert me as needed. I should probably clean this up and share the code.

More:

  • Airmail for desktop email client
  • Asana for project management (business & personal)
  • Evernote to store any and all docs, the mobile version's document scanner is great for storing paper docs. I can eliminate most of my paper docs with this.

Of course for personal stuff:
