Tools I Use

This is a living document. I update it when something changes.

Development

  • Editor: VS Code with a minimal setup — just TypeScript, ESLint, and Tailwind CSS IntelliSense
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal with PowerShell
  • Version control: Git + GitHub
  • Languages: TypeScript, occasionally Go and Python
  • Frameworks: Next.js for most web projects

Photography

  • Camera: Fujifilm X-T5
  • Lenses: 23mm f/2 for everyday, 56mm f/1.2 for portraits and details
  • Editing: Lightroom Classic, occasionally Photoshop for composites
  • Storage: External SSDs plus cloud backup

Writing

  • Format: Markdown and MDX, committed to Git
  • Notes: Obsidian for drafts and thinking
  • Publishing: This site — files in a repo, deployed automatically

Principles

  1. Use fewer tools, but use them well
  2. Prefer tools that store data in open formats
  3. Automate the boring parts, not the creative ones
