What I use in my day a day as front-end developer.

Technologies and goods I use for my day a day work as Front-end and UI developer.

As remote front-end developer, working as team lead in a 100% remote team I need to uses a combination of tech stuff and software, but also some other even more important like a comfortable office, big desk, coworkers to share my space, books, gym machine and a retro arcade. Yes, we need it.
