Tools I use daily
A living document of the software and hardware I rely on for development work.
I keep this list updated as my setup evolves. These are the tools I actually use, not the ones I aspire to.
Editor
Neovim. I’ve tried everything else and keep coming back. The modal editing model, once internalized, makes everything else feel slow. My config is minimal — LSP, treesitter, telescope, and not much else.
Terminal
Alacritty with tmux. Fast, simple, stays out of the way. I use tmux sessions per project and rarely close them.
Languages
Mostly TypeScript and Go, depending on the problem. TypeScript for web-facing work and scripting. Go for services and CLI tools. Rust when performance is critical and the problem is well-defined.
Infrastructure
Docker for local development. Fly.io or a small VPS for deployment. I avoid managed services when a static binary on a $5 server would suffice.
