Tools of the Trade
A peek behind the curtain — the stuff that keeps me running (and coding).
16" Macbook Pro, M4 Pro
48 GB RAM (2024). The cockpit. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and a fleet of AI agents run wild across worktrees while I orchestrate from the driver's seat.
16" MacBook Pro, M2 Pro
32 GB RAM (2023). Where the talks get built, novels get written, and passion projects come to life. The machine that reminds me coding isn't everything.
14" MacBook Pro, M2 Pro
32 GB RAM (2023). Runs headless 24/7. Plex server, self-hosted apps, and autonomous AI agents that work while I sleep.
4K 32" LG UltraFine Ergo
32 inches of 4K real estate on an ergonomic arm. More pixels means more worktrees visible at once. The stand alone is worth it.
Keychron K4 Wireless
Mechanical clicks that make every keystroke feel intentional. Full-size layout, wireless freedom.
Logitech MX Master 3
I live in the terminal, so the mouse rarely moves. But when it does, it's this one.
Greensoul Imperium
Electric sit-stand desk. Because debugging posture is just as important as debugging code.
Sennheiser HD 458BT
Noise-cancelling companion for deep work. Podcasts in, distractions out.
Zed↗
Native speed, zero lag. When you're juggling a dozen projects across worktrees, every millisecond of editor latency matters.
Oh My Zsh!↗
Auto-cd, smart completions, and a theme that sparks joy. The shell shouldn't fight you. It should read your mind.
Ghostty↗
Blazing fast, GPU-rendered, and endlessly configurable. The terminal where the real work happens.
dmux↗
The secret weapon. Spins up parallel AI agents across worktrees, manages sessions, and turns one terminal into a command center. Built on tmux.
CodexBar↗
Real-time token burn rate, right in the menu bar. Know exactly what your agents are costing. Always.
Rectangle↗
Keyboard-driven window tiling. 2x faster at arranging windows, 2x slower at deciding where they go.
Notion↗
Notes, projects, plans, and now my calendar too. All in one place. Notion absorbed Cron and became the single source of truth for my entire digital life.
Spark↗
Smart filters keep the inbox at zero. If Spark didn't surface it, it probably wasn't worth reading.
Simplenote↗
The digital napkin. Capture a thought on any device, forget about it forever. Blissfully simple.
BrowserOS↗
The browser I'm building. Gives every AI agent eyes to see the web. Navigate, interact, extract. The missing sense for autonomous workflows.
Claude Code↗
The go-to for focused, deep coding sessions. Understands context like a senior engineer sitting next to you.
Codex↗
Fire-and-forget. Spins up ideas, runs experiments, handles the passive work while I focus elsewhere.
Cursor + GLM 5.1↗
The experimental rig. Cursor's IDE + Z.ai's GLM for refactors, migrations, and the grunt work nobody wants to do.
Gemini CLI↗
When the task is Material Design or mobile-first UI, Gemini gets it right out of the box.
Greptile↗
AI-powered reviews for high-stakes private repos. Catches what humans miss after the third PR of the day.
GitHub Copilot↗
Handles reviews for side projects and open source. Keeps the quality bar up across everything I maintain.
