What I use to build.

Native macOS terminal for running coding agents in parallel. One workspace per agent and branch.

My editor for everything — PHP, TypeScript, and reviewing what the agents wrote.

AI completions and block-based output. Replaced iTerm after the first session.

Persistent sessions across projects. I lost work before I used it — never since.

The only coding font I've kept for more than a month.

Dark theme across editor, terminal, and browser devtools. Consistent everywhere.

Strict mode everywhere. Explicit types at public boundaries, no `any`.

My default for content-driven sites and landings. Near-zero JS by default, excellent DX.

The other half of my frontend work. The ecosystem is unavoidable — and often the right call.

The component model I keep coming back to, especially with Inertia on Laravel products.

Utility-first CSS with consistent design tokens. Fast iteration without naming things.

My framework for full products — with Inertia and Vue on top. Batteries included, still elegant.

Runtime for APIs, scripts, and tooling — always with pnpm, never npm.

Relational DB for anything serious. JSON support covers the edge cases.

Caching and queues when Postgres alone isn't enough.

Edge deploys globally in seconds. Free at my scale, fast everywhere.

Serverless at the edge with no cold starts. My default backend — Durable Objects included, deployed with wrangler.

CI/CD for all projects. Simple enough for solo work, scales well for teams.

Agentic coding in the terminal. Where most of my code gets written and reviewed these days.

The API behind my AI-powered products and internal agents. Tool use and structured outputs do the heavy lifting.

Issue tracking that doesn't get in the way. The keyboard-first UX is excellent.

Team knowledge base and async docs. Works for everything from team wikis to product specs.

Wireframes, component specs, and design systems. Shared with frontend devs without friction.

Launcher, clipboard history, calculator, snippets. Replaced Spotlight on day one.
