Uses This - Ian Mckay
Who are you, and what do you do?
I’m Ian Mckay, and I’m the Cloud Lead at Kablamo.
What hardware do you use?
I’m currently switching between a 24" M1 iMac with 16GB of RAM, and a 13" M1 MacBook Pro. The M1 chips are as good as people say!
For the iMac, I use a Magic Trackpad and everything else as standard. For the MacBook Pro, I’m using the integrated keyboard and trackpad.
Whether I’m on a Zoom/Teams/Huddle/Chime meeting, or simply rocking out to myself, I’ll usually have my Bose QuietComfort 20’s plugged in.
And what software?
Left-to-right in my dock:
- Google Chrome
- Mac default Terminal
- Slack
- Spotify
- Visual Studio Code
- Chime (don’t ask!)
- Paw
- Mac default Terminal
What would be your dream setup?
I’m not usually too fussed about my setup, though I would like to eventually reach a stage where I’m using a completely cloud-hosted workstation. The realities of Australian internet make this pretty infeasible at the moment unfortunately.
