Uses
Setup, tools, and things I reach for daily
The tools that have stuck around — ones I keep coming back to because they get
out of the way and let me think.
Editor
- Neovim — with a minimal config. LSP, treesitter, telescope. Nothing else.
- JetBrains Mono — for the monospace font everywhere
- Theme: a custom dark theme close to base16
Terminal
- Alacritty — GPU-accelerated, no tabs, no cruft
- tmux — for session management and split panes
- zsh with a minimal prompt showing only cwd and git branch
- fzf — fuzzy finding for files, history, git branches
- ripgrep — grep that doesn't make me wait
Languages
- Go — for services and systems tooling. Boring in the best way.
- C++ — for anything where performance and correctness both matter
- Python — scripts and one-offs
Hardware
- MacBook — the battery life changed my relationship with desks
- 27" external monitor — vertical split for code, horizontal for docs
- Keychron K2 — brown switches
Other
- Docker for local dev environments
- Obsidian for notes and design docs
- Excalidraw for architecture diagrams
- Linear for personal project tracking
