BBS 17: What's on My Desk?

Find us on https://brainsandbeards.com/

• The hosts discuss their daily work setups and what equipment they use, including standing desks, laptops, external monitors, headphones, microphones, and other accessories.
• One host uses a standing desk to avoid sitting for long periods and stays engaged by walking while in meetings or working.
• Their laptops of choice are MacBooks for iOS development. One also uses an iMac Pro but it has started freezing.
• Other items mentioned include pens, a Rubik's cube for focusing, an external SSD for extra storage space due to limited internal storage, and a cloudlifter microphone amplifier to reduce noise.
• A mechanical keyboard is used for programming tasks, with custom key mappings for shortcuts.
• An external hard drive is used for video editing projects and backups due to large file sizes.
• A multi-channel audio interface and microphone setup provides easy, high-quality and noise-free podcast recording.
• A separate webcam is used for higher quality video calls compared to laptop cameras.
• Photos and decorations on the desk provide smiles and breaks from work.
• The hosts discuss focusing on technical development tips or sharing more of their work environments and setups in future episodes based on listener feedback.
