Fresh Macbook and a set of neat tools

See also 2020 version

I recently bought a Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2014) with 128 GB of storage. I thought that if I needed 256 GB, I could just buy a regular SSD and swap them. Turns out i can’t. Or.. I can, but it’s a special SSD that costs a third of a new Mac. And I just bought one! I can’t even afford milk! Anyhow, here’s a **list of software that I “need” **as a software kind of guy:

• Slack - the best team communication platform
• Dropbox - having my data stored safely is just really neat. Also need it for collaboration some times
• Google Drive - same as with Dropbox.
• Sublime Text - best editor.
• PyCharm - best ‘heavy’ python editor.
• WebStorm - best ‘heavy’ javascript editor.
• TotalFinder - Honestly just for cmd-x to cut
• Alfred - I don’t have words. It’s an awesome utility must-have.
• 1Pass - Never have to remember passwords again.
• Spectacle - window manager for OS X.
• Skype - Talking with people (though I try to use appear.in when possible)
• Spotify - Musicplayer
• Balsamiq - Making sketches and mockups for costumers
• Flux - Adjusts the screen lightning to make late night coding more pleasant
• FileZilla - FTP Client
• Sequel Pro - SQL client
• HomeBrew - need it for all these awesome things
  • brew install git
  • brew install node
  • npm install -g grunt-cli gulp
