Uses

The hardware, software, and small comforts that make up my setup.

Workstation

Apple MacBook Pro, M3 Pro: Daily driver. Barely warms up under workloads that used to send my old Intel machine into jet-engine mode, and the battery lasts a working day.
Keychron K2: Compact, wireless when I want a clean desk, wired when I'm at it all day. Switches loud enough to feel something but quiet enough for a café.
Logitech MX Master 3S: The horizontal scroll wheel sounds like a gimmick until you've used it on a wide diff. Silent clicks are the real win.
Sony WH-1000XM3: Older model, but the battery still lasts a long-haul flight and the noise cancellation is quiet enough that I forget I'm wearing them.

Ghostty: Fast, sensible defaults, and doesn't try to convince me I need a hundred panes and a built-in tmux replacement.
zsh: Default on macOS, which removed the only friction. Small config — a few aliases, autocompletion, a prompt I can read at a glance.
Neovim: Primary editor. Modal editing feels like cheating once your fingers stop fighting it — mine took the better part of a year. The plugin ecosystem lets me shape the editor around the language, not the other way around.
Visual Studio Code: For when I want a graphical debugger or I'm pairing with someone who doesn't speak Vim. Extension ecosystem is unmatched, even if I install three things and call it a day.

Figma: Where I sketch interfaces, present ideas, and lift components from. The browser-first bet has aged remarkably well.
Excalidraw: For diagrams I want to look thought-through but not precious. The hand-drawn aesthetic is good cover for thinking out loud.

Linear: Fast enough that I actually keep up with my issues instead of avoiding the tracker. The opinionated workflow is the feature, not the bug.
Notion: Catch-all for reading notes, drafts, half-finished docs, and links I'll get to eventually. I've tried tidier tools and always drift back.
