Stack

Tools I use, with opinions. Updated when something earns or loses a spot.

Runtime & language

  • Bun

    Fast enough that I stopped checking benchmarks. Node compatibility is good enough that I haven't hit a wall.

  • TypeScript

    Strict mode, every project, no exceptions. If you're writing agentic code, you want every type-level guarantee you can get.

  • Python

    Still where the ML ecosystem lives. I use it for evals and ad-hoc data work, less for production glue.

AI tools

  • Claude Code

    My primary coding agent. Long-context, good at staying inside the project, doesn't over-edit.

  • Cursor

    For the inline-edit cases where I want a faster loop. Works alongside Claude Code, not instead of it.

  • Claude (Opus + Sonnet)

    Opus for hard reasoning, Sonnet for everything else. Default to Sonnet, escalate when it stalls.

  • GPT-4 / GPT-5 family

    I keep one of these wired in as a second opinion. They diverge often enough to be useful.

Editor & local setup

  • VS Code

    Boring default. Vim mode on, extensions off. The agent does most of the editing now anyway.

  • Ghostty

    The terminal I default to. Fast, sane defaults, GPU-rendered.

  • Zed

    On the rotation when I want a leaner editor for writing. Not my daily driver yet.

Infrastructure

  • Cloudflare Pages + Workers

    Default for static sites and edge functions. The cold-start argument died years ago — this is where I host.

  • Supabase

    Postgres I don't have to babysit. Auth + storage + vector all in one. Good default for prototypes that survive.

  • Cloudflare R2

    S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees. Where I dump evals, datasets, model artifacts.

Writing & publishing

  • Substack

    For the field notes. I don't love the on-platform discovery, but the writing-and-sending workflow is unbeaten.

  • Notion

    Atlas drafts live here. The export pipeline isn't great, but the editing flow makes up for it.

  • Gumroad

    For selling the paid tier of Atlas. Simple, low-overhead, doesn't demand a separate checkout to maintain.
