I run the developer relations team here at Directus and this is what's in my doc. Firstly, my devices, I'm pretty basic here, I use a 14 inch 2021 MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro Chip and 16 gigs of RAM, and I use an iPhone 14 Pro with 256 gigs of storage because a 128 never seem to be enough for the 2 years that I tend to keep phones. My day to day involves a lot of context switching between content authoring and review, writing documents, meetings, and software development. And to kind of handle that context switching, I use Arc Browser.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>There's a good chance that you've heard of this browser by now. It's available on Mac and Windows, but they have a really unique, concept of spaces, which does exist in other browsers, but not quite as well as it works in Arc. So I can set up kind of sections of my browser for different types of tasks that I do or different profiles that I need to keep. And they also have this thing called tab cleanup. So every, you know, every 7 days is what I've got it configured to.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Anything in a particular section screenshots and small video. I find their annotation tool just really, really good, and they also, immediately save screenshots to your clipboard, which is useful, and they keep a history of things that you've captured for a little while. They also have this nice feature where you can take a screenshot and then pin it above everything else. So if I just need a little bit of reference while I go do something else, I'll often screenshot something, pin it to my monitor, and then I can move around and it just kinda stays put there. So really, really useful.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Rewind is a tool that I use to enhance my memory for things that I've seen or said on my machine. It basically watches everything you do, compresses what you do as screenshots really small, keeps them on device, and then at any time, I can pull up this little interface something I may have said in a meeting because it provides transcriptions or something I've seen in a document somewhere, and it will show you when and where you saw it and which application. And then applications it's aware of, you can do, like, a one click open, which is really good. I'm sure we've all had that thing where we go, where was that? Was it a Google Doc?\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Was it a Notion? Was it inside of Directus? Was it in a Google Sheet? Who knows? But I know what was said.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I know the words that were in there, so really useful. I love Rewind. I have it has just enhanced my memory so so much. I'm a big fan of cloud development environments because I have to context switch so much. It's good to have fresh code environment when I'm working on specific issues or reviewing specific pull requests.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So for that, I use GitHub Codespaces. I previously used Gitpod, but the really tight integration with the GitHub workflow that Codespaces provides, caused me to to move over there. So from an issue, I can immediately create a new code environment. It installs all my dependencies, and I can get straight to work. It's really, really good for reviewing other people's work as well.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>For doing basic recording and editing of my screen, I use ScreenFlow. It's a macOS video editor. I just find that it works really nicely. It doesn't have the most features, but it has basically everything I need day to day. Some really innovative, like, keyboard shortcuts or rather, I should say, intuitive keyboard shortcuts, and it just allows me to get moving really quickly.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Now if I'm recording with multiple people, I use Riverside, which is a browser based studio where you can invite multiple people in. It will do a really nice thing where it will stream to participants a lower quality version of the video than perhaps it needs to, but it will record a full quality version and then stream upload that to the Riverside like storage. So you can always know that you have the highest quality version of someone's recording that you possibly can. We use this extensively to create Directus TV series. For personal task management software, I use Todoist.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I've tried every one of these tools under the under the sun, and I always seem to fall back to using Todoist. I really like the fact that you can use little shortcuts like the hash key to tag something with a project or an at key to do a label and so on and so forth. It does intelligent date recognition, so it automatically tags things with due date. I have app. They also have good browser integrations and general integrations with other tools that I use.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>A little utility tool that I use is called Hyperkey. Hyperkey just constantly runs in the background of my Mac, and it remaps my command, alt, control, and shift keys to my caps lock key. And then I no longer have a caps lock key, but what I now have is a hyperkey, so I can hold that and I can now have new keyboard shortcuts using the caps lock key. So I'll do things like, you know, caps t to bring up a translator or caps e to bring up an emoji picker and so on. And there's a really, really high chance that the hyper plus character key doesn't conflict with anything that already exists.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So it gives me just a complete new layer of keyboard shortcuts to create. For day to day project management at work, we use GitHub, actually. We do everything in the open. So I mostly use a road map view, which will show here while I'm talking. And this shows every kind of inbound issue that someone has created, whether that's me, whether that's one of the core directors team or a community member.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>We learn a bit more about it to understand the scope of work. We then put it in the backlog when it's ready to be worked on. We put it in ready, and then we kind of track the life cycle of an issue accordingly. So we do all of this. It's in the open, and it's not bad at all.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>It lacks some depth of other project management tools, but the fact that our code and our issues and our road map and our workflow are just completely collocated is great. And then throw on top of that the fact that I use Git upgrade spaces, and it just works really nicely. If there is one tool I could not live without, it's Raycast. It is the ultimate productivity tool that kind of gobbles up so many other utilities I once had. At its core, it's a launcher.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So the same way that you may have spotlight search where you hit command space and it brings up a little search bar, I've replaced that search bar with Raycast. It works very similarly. I can launch applications. I can search files, but it also does things like window management, clipboard history, snippets, camera preview. They have a really good store, which is vibrant and new, you know, new extensions are always being published on the store.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>It's just really, really good. You can create your own extensions with JavaScript. You can just run bash scripts if you want, and I just use it all the time. It's probably the first thing I install on a new machine when I have a fresh OS, so that's Raycast. I would say it depends on the kind of work I'm doing.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Sometimes I can put on music with words, sometimes I can't. Like most other episodes, I anticipate lofi hip hop is, you know, has has been mentioned before. I listen to lofi hip hop without words. When I'm doing work where words aren't too distracting, it can be anything, musicals, metal, country, pop music, electronic music. Because my German comprehension isn't quite good enough that I find the words distracting.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>But, yeah, really, it's eclectic. And just depending on my mood and the amount of focus I need to have sometimes with or without words, that's really the only differentiator. The genre is pretty, pretty eclectic. I would say the only interesting piece of hardware I have is probably my monitor. I use the Samsung Odyssey Ultra Wide 49 inch, so it's a huge widescreen monitor.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And then using Raycast, I have keyboard shortcuts, so I can put applications in thirds, I can put applications in quarters. I can put applications in half. And then for things like video editing, I can obviously full screen an application using keyboard shortcuts. Typically, I'll have 3 things open at a time, a code editor in the middle, reference on the left, and a preview on the right. But, yeah, it depends on the task.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>This also is kind of weird. It's a it's a curved monitor. And so when I'm using max spaces and I'm, like, swiping to move between them, it's like the entire pane shifts around, and I'm surrounded by all of these spaces that I can't see. It's kind of it's kind of weird to explain, but, yeah, I think my monitor is probably my only interesting hardware. Right here, just out of view, I've got the Elgato Wave 1 Mic in the Elgato Low Profile Arm, which is an amazing mic arm.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I'm really really enjoying it. It's very very solid. For my camera, I'm actually using my last phone, which was an iPhone 12 Mini mounted and permanently plugged in for power, and that is a continuity camera. So I use the, you know, the built in, integration with macOS and iOS to use that. I have a couple of key lights up here which are on that light me properly, which I actually forgot to put on for this recording, so this isn't the this isn't it in its full glory.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I've got some home kit enabled lights behind me, and then for my keyboard, I use a NuPhy s 60. And instead of a mouse, I use a magic trackpad, so I can still use all of the macOS gestures I'm used to. So I use Todoist, as I mentioned, to kind of project manage things that only relate to me. But often, you need just a little kind of micro to do list, just for something you're doing in the moment. And for that, I use these Titulo cards.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>They say Titulo up there in the right, and they're these really nice high stock cards, that just have a little column in the side for you to, you know, provide an icon, tick them off. Say, I've moved this to tomorrow and so on. They're double sided, and I keep one of these in my desk, visible kind of stood up all the time, in case I just need a temporary kind of physical to do list instead of messing around with software tools. But other than that, I really don't do that much analog. I am on my phone constantly.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So as long as things sync well between my machine and my phone, I don't really feel the need to keep much analog. And that's all the software, hardware, and analog tools I use to run my life. I hope you found this interesting. I hope you found this series, what's in your doc, interesting. I hope you enjoy all this other content we have available for you on directors TV, and until the next show, see you next time.\u003C/p>","Hi, I'm Kevin.

I hope you enjoy all this other content we have available for you on directors TV, and until the next show, see you next time.","published",[139],{"people_id":140},{"id":141,"first_name":142,"last_name":143,"avatar":144,"bio":145,"links":146},"82b3f7e5-637b-4890-93b2-378b497d5dc6","Kevin","Lewis","a662f91b-1ee9-4277-8c9d-3ac1878e44ad","Director of Developer Experience at Directus",[147],{"url":131,"service":148},"website",[],{"id":151,"number":152,"year":153,"episodes":154,"show":159},"9e8684b4-074a-4048-8e0d-643433c81c21",1,"2024",[155,156,157,158,122],"5ae26e77-6584-426a-a247-fd1662e268bd","1c7a9c6b-a089-4919-a4c4-b6aef92c7652","02770b60-b4da-447c-9e9d-c59f5b63bab0","38e774bc-6f05-4dda-8b31-9e228f90d59d",{"title":160,"tile":161},"What's In Your Dock","8dba05fa-504f-4abc-865f-174d07fac140",{"id":163,"slug":164,"season":165,"vimeo_id":166,"description":167,"tile":168,"length":169,"resources":8,"people":8,"episode_number":152,"published":170,"title":171,"video_transcript_html":172,"video_transcript_text":173,"content":8,"seo":174,"status":137,"episode_people":175,"recommendations":177},"493e8e9a-433c-4c33-9d79-cec59ec20391","rijk","3310777b-2774-4ba9-80d5-7c96c566aa10","1007792087","Rijk is a developer and designer born and raised in the Netherlands. He first came to America to work on Directus where he is CTO to this day. When not coding you can find him playing bass in the Lower East Side or hanging out with his cats in Brooklyn. Coder-designer by nature, musician at heart; prefers code to be indented in threes. ","145ec186-e959-460e-88a6-e22c11ef1e15",7,"2024-09-09","What's in your Dock, Rijk?","\u003Cp>Speaker 0: Hey. How's it going? So for my daily devices, I use a MacBook Pro in 2021, an iPad Pro, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Most of my day to day consists of a split between, you know, doing a lot of meetings, programming, and a bit of design on the side. For those meetings, I use a Sony Alpha s 6,400 with a 16 mil Sigma prime lens.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I do have an Elgato prompter to make it look like I'm looking at you instead of a screen off to the side, and I use a Blue Yeti mic, a Yeti x. I also use a Logi Lytra glow for a little bit of extra light. And when the meetings are a little bit less interesting, I have a little Tetris micro cart on my desk, off screen. Don't tell anyone. When it comes to software, let's take a look at the dock left to right first.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>First and foremost, I use Arc as a browser. I'm the type of person that doesn't really do more than five taps open at a time or I'm losing my mind. So Arc's organization tools for renaming tabs, making folders, having spaces has really been a game changer for my productivity in that space. Although, I do have to admit, tabs that go to a different space go there to die and then get deleted anyways after a long while. For the basic Smell calendar reminders, I use the Apple standard apps.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I have tried every new calendar app that comes out. I love experimenting with them. But at the end of the day, I always find myself coming back to the default ones as they basically do what I need them to do and nothing more. Right? They're very pleasing.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>At Directus, we use Notion for note taking. In meetings, we have a bunch of different teams and a bunch of documents. It's a bit unstructured, but that's kind of the beauty of Notion. And we use Linear for task management. So Linear, think of it as GitHub Issues as a separate app, which has really elevated our productivity in the especially the product team.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Then we use Slack for communication with the team internally, and we use Discord for communication with the larger community of users, of Triactus. When I'm programming, I similarly to calendar apps. I've tried, various different apps. I recently tried Zed. I've been using some of the JetBrains stuff.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>I've been on Coda two way back in the day when that was a thing. I've tried Nova. I always come back to Versus Code for the last couple of years. I've set that up very customized. I'm one of the the weird ones that does it in light mode, with a three tap space setting.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And I use iTerm on the side because I cannot deal with the built in terminal. Just a personal preference thing. For debugging databases, I'm a huge fan of TablePlus. So TablePlus is kind of PHPMyAdmin as a native app, but they support effectively every database under the sun, which is very, very nice. You have to learn the tool once, and then you can just use it, which is great for raw database management, so direct, you know, columns or insertions into databases.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>On the flip side of that, I used RapidAPI, previously known as Paul, as an API debugging tool. So it's kind of similar to Postman or Hopscotch or some of those tools, but as a magnated app. I'm still a UX designer at heart, so apps looking nice is a huge reason for me to use them over something else. Then we use Figma for all the design files. I am a very big fan of FigJam as well for quick notes and figuring out projects and doing more product design, or user experience design.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And then last but not least, we have Reader and Ivory. So Reader is an RSS feed reader. I use that to stay up to date with a bunch of blogs and personal blogs that I like to follow for any news in the tech industry or improvements to the web platform or any other interesting developments. And I use Ivory as my client for the Vedaverse. So I'm part of the Fostodon server right now, and I try to follow, again, interesting people on the Internet.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And then last but not least, on the doctor's Spotify, I always got music playing. I mostly listen to everything is what I'm realizing now. There's there's a lot of pop funky stuff in there. There's a lot of alt rock in there, and there's a lot of a little bit of pop sometimes if I just want to focus a little bit and not care about music. Sometimes, I have my own stuff on repeat to get the numbers up, because you gotta game the system a little bit.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Outside of the dock, I am a huge fan of a new app that just came out from Syndra called Scratchpad, which is just a little icon in your menu bar. The only thing it does is it just opens a tiny note, and it goes away when you click it again. So it's just great for a quick, in the middle of a meeting, I have to jot something down. I don't know where it goes. I need to have something to write in within a split second.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Fantastic for that. I use 1Password for all of the password management. Couldn't do without. Use CleanShot for screenshots and screen recordings. Highly recommend that one.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>That is one I cannot do without nowadays. And then the main thing that I install on every machine every time is called Paste. So it's a clipboard manager, similar to the reasoning behind Repit API. It's a MEC native thing. It feels like it was designed by Apple, and I'm sure they get shirts at some point, and I'd be sad when that happens.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>To write. What else? What else do we have here? Oh, yeah. So the the the hobby stops.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Sorry. Outside of work, I like to write and play a lot of music. So one thing I have right off at my desk here is just there's an acoustic guitar sitting ready to go in a demo at any moment. You see, of course, you know, some guitars on the wall. There's there's too many in my apartment here.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>For that, on the computer, I use Logic Pro to record through my, line six HX stomp XL as an interface. And other than that what do we got going on in here? Oh, yeah. Less little desk gadgets. I brought it up.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Before, I have a little Tetris micro card. I don't know if they still make them, but this this gets used a little bit too much in the day. Great way to take a little break. I have an analog Nixie clock sitting here on my desk as a way to keep the time, as if that's not a thing on my computer. And one sort of guilty pleasure that I thought it was gonna be stupid, but I cannot do without nowadays, is an ember mug.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>They're the most again, when I when I bought it, I thought it was gonna be stupid as hell, and now I'm hooked. So recommend one of those as well. I have a little, Belkin wireless charger to prop my phone up and, Sonos on the desk for all of the music that I previously mentioned. And I think that's everything I have around me.\u003C/p>","Hey. How's it going? So for my daily devices, I use a MacBook Pro in 2021, an iPad Pro, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
