Uses

Tools, hardware, and software I use daily

Here's what I use day to day to build, ship, and stay productive. Opinions included.

Desk

  • MacBook Pro 16" (M2 Pro, 16GB RAM)
  • HP Display 27" (2560x1440)
  • Apple Magic Keyboard
  • Logitech MX Master 3S Mouse

Where I Write Code

  • Cursor — AI-native and fast. Hard to go back to anything else
  • Ghostty — minimal, snappy, no bloat
  • pnpm — pnpm > npm, no contest

AI Stuff

  • OpenCode — AI agent in the terminal
  • Conductor.build — parallel coding agents
  • Claude

What I Build With

  • Next.js / React / TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Node.js / NestJS
  • Python / FastAPI
  • PostgreSQL
  • Docker
  • Redis

Where Things Run

  • Mac mini — Docker deployments for my sites and projects
  • Hetzner — cheap, reliable VPS for self-hosting
  • GitHub
  • Cloudflare — DNS, tunnels, and the glue that holds my self-hosted stuff together

Daily Drivers

  • Zen Browser — clean, private, not Chrome
  • Raycast — replaced Spotlight and never looked back
  • Obsidian
