Stack

Tools I actually use, daily

Updated Q2 2026resource

My exact dev stack. Updated quarterly.

Editor

VS Code with Copilot. The debugger integration alone is worth it.

Terminal

Fish shell. Better history, better completion, better syntax highlighting than Bash.

Productivity

Linear for task tracking. Slack for async communication. Figma for design. Arc browser for tab management.

The rest

PostgreSQL. Redis for caching. Stripe for payments. Supabase for the database backend. AWS for compute.
