The tools I use daily. Updated when something changes. Inspired by uses.tech.

Editor & Terminal

Neovim — Daily driver for most coding, quick edits, and config work.

zoxide — Smarter cd. See why I love it.

Languages & Stack

TypeScript — Default for everything frontend and Node.
Go — Backend services, CLIs, anything where performance matters.
PHP — Still powers a lot of production code. Not ashamed.
React — UI when needed. Prefer server components where possible.
