Uses

The stack I actually use every day. Hardware, software, tools I'd pay for again.

Hardware

• MacBook. Apple Silicon. Everything I do runs locally.
• iPhone, mostly for capturing ideas and monitoring long-running tasks.

Editor + shell

• Claude Code, my primary agent harness. The site you're reading was largely generated here.
• zsh + Bun, standard macOS shell; Bun for anything Node-adjacent because it's 10× faster.
• VS Code / Cursor, when I need a full IDE.

AI tools I pay for

• Claude (claude.ai + API), daily driver
• ChatGPT (OpenAI Plus), for comparisons and image gen
• Perplexity, for fast research
• Cursor, code editing with AI in the loop

Writing + notes

• Notion, the long-term brain. Docs, projects, research notes.
• Obsidian, for pure markdown notes I want local.
• iA Writer, long-form writing.

Automation

• n8n / Make / Zapier, pick based on the integrations needed. Lately leaning toward writing my own Claude Code skills instead.
• GoHighLevel, opinionated, but it bundles what you'd otherwise glue together from five tools.

Adjacent infrastructure

• Stripe, payments
• Twilio. SMS/voice
• Postgres, default database
• Cloudflare. DNS + Pages when I need to ship a site fast
