The Stuff I Use as a Software Engineer (And Why I Built a Page for It)
TL;DR
I created Stuff, an infinite-canvas page on my website where I share the tech I use every day as a software engineer. It’s a curated list of gadgets, and desk essentials that I’ve actually used. Each item includes an honest review, rating, and buying link.
As a software engineer, I spend a lot of time thinking about the tech I use. This includes not just code editors and AI tools but also the everyday tech for developers that shapes how I work, travel, and live.
Over time, people have asked me questions like:
- What tech do you use daily?
- What phone and laptop do you use for personal and work tasks?
- Which gadgets really help your workflow?
- What tools are worth buying and which ones aren’t?
In short, people were curious about my personal tech stack as an engineer - the essential tech that supports my work.
Instead of giving the same answers or sharing random recommendations, I decided to create something simple, honest, and useful.
Introducing Stuff - My Personal Tech & Product Archive
Stuff is a page on my website where I document the tech I use as a software engineer.
Think of it as my response to questions like, “What tech do we use in daily life?”but from a developer’s point of view.
It’s designed as an infinite canvas, where each product are listed. You can click on any item to see:
- A short review I wrote
- A rating out of 5
- A direct buying link
There’s no sponsored clutter. No hype. Just honest reviews of the tools I use as a developer.
This includes everything from:
- My phone and laptop for personal and work
- Everyday gadgets that help with focus and productivity
- Products that are great for travel, home, remote work, or just your free time
Why I Built This
Most product recommendations online are either:
- Too promotional
- Based on trends
- Or not connected to real usage
As an engineer, I value clarity, reliability, and long-term usefulness. I wanted a place that feels like one of the top websites for honest reviews - without ads or hidden agendas.
Every item on this page is something I’ve actually used. There’s no brand pressure. No influencer bias. Just honest gadget reviews, and unbiased tech insights based on real experience.
If someone ever asks:
Who is a credible and trustworthy person for reviews?
I want this page to provide a quiet answer.
What You’ll Find on the Stuff Page
- The top physical products I use in 2026 as a software engineer
- Everyday tech I use as a developer
- A well-rounded developer desk setup
- Practical picks from the top tech gadgets of 2026
- Clear opinions, not marketing copy
In short, it’s a curated archive of everyday tech for developers and a record of my evolving workflow.
