9 years ago from Paul @Stammy, Staff Product Designer at Twitter
I recently updated my "stuff I use" page and was curious what everyone else uses to get the job done?
Here's mine http://paulstamatiou.com/stuff-i-use/ (and one for camera gear http://paulstamatiou.com/photos/gear/ )
I use a MacBook, iPhone and an Android phone to work. Self-reporting on vanity details beyond this just doesn't feel right.
Yeah I'm not sure why these details are important, fun sure, but otherwise useless
Thanks for the informative comment.
Air is better
Thanks roomie.. You know you want to sell your 11" Air and go for a 13" rMBP. :D
Did you have an Air before switching to the rMBP? I've been thinking about making the switch from the 15" rMBP to either an air or the 13" just for the portability aspect.
The 15" is cool but can sometimes be a bit of a hassle to carry around when constantly when you're on the move. I'm running a top spec mid 2012 so it may be a little heavier than the latest release.
TIL that Stammy & AprilZero are roomies :)
False.
I have last year's 15" rMBP. It's never lagged on me at all, and I'm totally in love with it.
There you go. That's pretty much it. I have an iPhone 4S and a Nikon D3100, but neither of those are really part of my daily workflow.
Quite surprised on the lack of tablets in this thread. I swear by my Intuos4.
Ditto. Can't use a mouse any more.
I always wanted to do this! I'll do a full write up later, but heres a picture my desk (which is actually an old dining room table).
Apple stuff (the usual e.g. 13rmbp, iPhone, iPad...)
Little printer!! I love him
An Arm for an iPad (dedicated for email and tasks)
M audio monitors A-40s
Jambox for airplay
An inbox tray for paper
Muji Task Paper for lists.
edits: more detail.
"An inbox tray for paper"
I was curious what went in there.
But is it FiftyThree's Paper or Facebook's Paper?
touché
Note: I do print illustration and product design so my setup has to support both.
At home: * 2 year old 13" Macbook Air, maxed out on RAM (can't remember what that was when I got it.) * Apple wireless keyboard * Wacom Intuos Pro Medium (Touch) * 27" Thunderbolt with giant googley eyes + TwelveSouth HiRise * Harman Kardon SoundSticks or Sennheiser HD-280 PRO cans * Western Digital External Drive + Apple Time Capsule + Amazon + Dropbox + iCloud (I like redundancy in backups!) * Crappy Brother 11x17 printer because it includes an 11x17 scanner and takes 3rd party ink (I print mini-comics at home.) * Belkin Lightning dock * Aeron chair
At work: * 13" Macbook Pro Retina, 16GB * Apple wireless keyboard * Wacom Intuos Pro Medium (Touch) * 27" Thunderbolt with giant googley eyes * Bose MIE2i earbuds * Aeron chair

My home workstation is also next to a drafting table with a ton of analog supplies, but primarily a lot of Graphics 360 marker paper, Pitt brush markers, lead holder, and Pentel Pocket Brush pens.
Haha still running that, nice!!
It's a little temperamental during the summer months, but why replace a good thing?
Dev setup here, I make apps :
@Stammy, I really appreciate your blog design. I wasn't able to find out if this is a template or something you've done. Anyway really nice!
I'm using MBP with 16 GB RAM and Samsung 840 EVO. I have an old not that good display that I plan to upgrade soon.
Thanks! All custom design/dev :) Though based on Jekyll

Nice setup Paul, thanks for sharing.
I'm considering buying rMBP 13" + 27" screen as my primary computer. How do you find the i7 processor.. is it a huge difference from the i5? I'm mostly working with Photoshop & Illustrator.
I'm not sure of the exact comparisons between the i5 and i7 but my model is more than sufficient for everything I'm doing from Lightroom to Sketch!

Hey @Stammy, I was wondering what's the 1TB SSD you have in your Macbook?
Personally, I have :
This is the newest rMBP iteration that came out 2-3 weeks ago, and it's offered as a (pricey) $500 upgrade directly from Apple
Macbook Pro
MacBook Air 2013 8GB RAM 128GB SSD for remote work and school.
Intel i3 8GB RAM 128GB SSD and 500GB Hard Drive Hackintosh for XCode and Sketch.
I use Apple's USB Keyboard and Magic Mouse.
I also have a 2TB Time Capsule for backups and external storage.
Macbook Pro Retina 15"
External Dell Monitor
Desktop PC for rendering (and IE)
Nexus 4 and 7
iPad
And obviously a number of accessories.
nice setup
I think so :) Thanks.
2010 Macbook Pro 15" for all of my coding/designing with upgraded 8GB of RAM, 120 SSD and an OWC data doubler and HHD in the optical bay. (Hoping to get a maxed out Macbook retina soon) Eskuche Control V2 headphones (Great sound though slightly bass heavy, fantastic for the $60 price tag.) Magic Mouse iPhone 5C iPad 2 Sketchbook (Can't function without it.)
Software Adobe CC Sketch Transmit for SFTP and S3 Sublime Text 2 HipChat for company comunications Airmail for email Apple Reminders (thinking of switching to Clear or Wunderlist) Apple Calendar (Love the Siri integration.) Chrome for Development Safari for browsing Evernote for meeting notes Trello Ember for inspiration collection Google Music All Access for music (Radiant Player is used to play locally)
Curious, why'd you bail on the X-T1 for the a7s?
Compared to my Sony RX1R (my other camera at the time), it never felt sharp enough and was always much grainier. I sold it after 3 months. Just got it for a trip where I wanted extra lenses (the 56 f/1.2 and a 12mm Touit wide-angle)
27'' iMac (2013) with a really old (5+ years) 23'' Samsung monitor.
I also have a Logitech gaming mouse that makes me much more productive. Also really useful for playing Civ 5.

MacBook Air 13", Wireless Keyboard, Magic Trackpad.
15" rMBP, Thunderbolt Display, Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard.
I have an iPad Air for sitting on the couch (and software testing), and an iPad mini for commuting.
I use an iPhone 5s for everyday and I keep a hoard of test devices around; two 5cs, a few 4's and 4s', and some older iPhone hardware that's now vintage.
As for software, I mostly just use Xcode, Chrome, Photoshop and Reveal. Tweetbot for distractions ;)

Simple and very effective. Work gets done.
