What I use

The tools and toys that help me build things. Updated occasionally when I find something better or break something irreparably.

01 Hardware

Sleek silver. The space black looked cool but I'm not a monster.

5K, great colors, mediocre webcam. The stand costs more than some monitors.

Split ergonomic keyboard with thumb clusters. My wrists thank me. Yes, I'm one of those people now.

Team Claude all the way. AI-assisted coding that actually gets it.

For when I want to feel like I'm in control. Extensions carefully curated over years.

Fast terminal, friendly shell, pretty prompt. The holy trinity.

I built this one. RAM disks for builds and caches. Shamelessly self-promoting.

All backend should be performant, small, self-contained, and correct. Rust delivers.

When I'm forced to work in a browser. I'd prefer Rust or Yew, but TypeScript is a necessary evil.

For static sites like this one. Ship less JavaScript, load faster.

The one true database. I will die on this hill.

Killed Raycast for this. Always wary of VC-backed company rugpulls.

Simple, syncs everywhere, doesn't cost $10/month for basic features.

For passwords, SSH keys, and secrets. The CLI integration is chef's kiss.

BEKANT or whatever it's called. It goes up, it goes down. That's all it needs to do.

Expensive, but my back thanks me. Cheaper than a chiropractor over 10 years.
