Uses
The stuff I actually reach for. Updated when things change, not when things are trendy.
Daily driver
- Windows + WSL for most work
- Claude is my hallucinating bestie
- VS Code or IntelliJ, depending on the day
- 1Password for everything that needs a secret
Stack
- Ruby on Rails, Node, and just enough Go to be dangerous
- Postgres, Redis, and NATS
- Cloudflare for DNS, edge, and static hosting
- Tailscale for every ops tunnel I would otherwise regret
Shop & lab
- A Hyundai Wia mill-turn for the real work
- A Cincinnati Milacron 3-axis that runs Windows NT 3.5 and is old enough to vote. I overclocked it anyway.
- 64 kW of rooftop solar backed by 136 kWh of lithium
- CT clamps on every branch circuit, because I want to know
- Home Assistant + ESPHome running the whole thing
- Too many oscilloscopes for any single person
On the road
- An RV that is slowly being re-engineered from the inside out
- One very good dog
