I work on a Mac. That always strikes people as funny since I work at MSFT, but it's not uncommon to see Macs around.

Hardware

Macbook Pro i7, 16 gigs
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
Magic Mouse
27 inch cinema display
Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones (They are the best headphones and I will defend this with my dying breath)
Yeti Stereo Microphone
Rode Mic Arm
M&M dispenser. Late 90's model. Peanut M&M's only.

I have a Uplift Desk standing desk that my wife bought and had a top custom made for me. I don't use the standing feature, but other than that, it's great.

My chair was like 99$ on Amazon. I'm probably going to regret that someday when my back goes out. I'll let you know.

Here's a pic of my desk my work area. I don't know if these comments support Markdown images, but let's give it a go.

Software Probably the usual, but here is what I use most often...

VS Code (not Insiders. I'm not a risk taker.)
Chrome (i can't quit the devtools)
Sketch (best image editing program for Mac. Period.)
Slack / Teams (We use both)
Outlook for Mac (I love it. Some people don't. They are wrong)
Snagit (Buy this. It's worth it. You can easily grab any part of the screen as pic or video and convert to GIF.)
Sizeup Window Manager (This tool lets you set a custom window size and I record the screen a lot so I need windows that are EXACTLY 1280 x 720 or what have you)
CopyClip (Clipboard manager. Just lets me access my clipboard history, like, indefinitely)
Azure Data Studio (for connecting to things like SQL Server, Postgres, what have you)

Sorry I didn't provide links to all of those. I got lazy. I think I need a cheeseburger.
