What I Use

18GB RAM • 512GB SSD

My main machine. It runs the Docker stack and builds for Thera and all my side projects without complaint.

27MD5KL-B • Thunderbolt 3

A 5K panel, so I can read small type for hours without the eye strain.

The quiet clicks and the scroll wheel are why I keep it. It switches between the laptop and the desktop without re-pairing.

Compact, so the mouse stays close. The backlight earns its keep when I work late.

My main editor. I lean on its inline edits and chat for the boring parts and keep my hands on the architecture.

Reviews my pull requests for bugs before I merge.

My terminal. The blocks keep long command output readable, and I run Claude Code right inside it.

For the Kotlin side of Thera. Its refactoring and debugger are worth leaving my main editor for.

Runs my local services, so a project boots the same on my machine as it does in CI.

My main model, and I use it everywhere: Claude Code in the terminal, in my editor, and the web and mobile apps. Where I go for hard reasoning, reviewing a diff, and longer writing.

An autonomous software engineer I hand well-scoped tasks to, then review the pull requests it opens.

OpenAI's coding agent. In the mix when I want to see how different agents handle the same task.

Quick lookups and a second opinion when Claude and I are stuck.

Good with images and PDFs, my pick when a feature needs to read documents.

Where I mock up screens before I build them, and where I keep the design tokens for my own products.

Our issue tracker at Thera. Fast and keyboard-driven, so it stays out of the way.

Where our specs, docs, and meeting notes live.

Gmail, Calendar, Meet, and Drive. The plumbing for a remote team.

Day-to-day chat at Thera. Most of my deploy and alert notifications land here too.

Error tracking. The first observability I added at Thera, before Datadog.

How I see what production is doing: traces, logs, and dashboards. I rolled it out after starting with Sentry.

Where I built more than 10 internal dashboards for the ops team at Thera.

Where most of my Next.js projects ship, and where I moved Thera's platform from Netlify. Push to a branch and the preview is up before I switch windows.

For the heavier infrastructure: Lambda, S3, CloudFront, and DynamoDB.

Workers and Pages for the edge bits. Workers AI runs the chat on this very site.

For projects I want to run on a plain VM I fully control.

Cloud Run and the Gemini APIs when a project needs them.

Where some of my earlier sites shipped. I have since moved most things, Thera included, to Vercel.

Simple deploys for small services and side experiments.

All my code lives here. Actions run my CI and my own AI Code Reviewer on every pull request.
