Uses

My daily driver. Vim keybindings keep my hands on the keyboard, and I keep extensions minimal—just the essentials like Prettier and GitLens.

For quick config edits or when I want to feel like a hacker in a movie. Muscle memory kicks in.

Split panes, hotkey window, and profiles for different projects. Cannot go back to the default terminal.

Git aliases, syntax highlighting, and tab completion that actually works. The powerlevel10k theme keeps it looking sharp.

Finally a browser that does not feel like it is from 2010. Spaces keep work and personal browsing separated.

Still my fallback for DevTools—React and Vue extensions work flawlessly here.

API testing without writing curl commands. Collections make sharing with teammates easy.

Clean database GUI. Connects to Postgres, MySQL, SQLite—whatever the project needs.

The safety net I did not know I needed. Types catch bugs before they become 3am incidents.

For scripts, automation, and anything involving data. Quick to write, easy to read later.

React with opinions. This site runs on it. Server components have changed how I think about data fetching.

When Express feels too slow. The schema validation and plugin system are worth the switch.

Push to main, get a deployment. Preview URLs for every PR. It just works.

CI/CD without leaving GitHub. YAML can be painful, but the ecosystem of actions makes up for it.

DNS, CDN, and edge functions. The free tier is absurdly generous.

Containers for local dev environments. No more "works on my machine" conversations.

Where thoughts go to become connections. Local markdown files mean I own my data forever.

Issue tracking that does not feel like a chore. Keyboard shortcuts make it actually enjoyable.

Spotlight replacement that does everything. Clipboard history, snippets, window management—all one hotkey away.

Passwords, SSH keys, API tokens. The CLI integration is underrated.

M3 Pro chip. Compiles TypeScript faster than I can save files. Battery lasts all day even with Docker running.

4K display that plays nice with macOS. One USB-C cable for video, power, and peripherals.

Wireless mechanical keyboard with brown switches. Satisfying clicks without annoying everyone nearby.

Ergonomic mouse with horizontal scroll. The thumb wheel is surprisingly useful for code review.

Noise cancelling for deep work. The world disappears when I need to focus.
