For the unaware, this is inspired by the /uses page idea
Text Editor #
These days, I’m generally running Claude Code paired with Claude’s Opus 4.7 model at work.
Beyond that, I’ll often pop open Neovim with a default Lunarvim configuration. I don’t know any shortcuts besides moving around, deleting/pasting lines and existing.
Sometimes I’ll reach for Sublime Text when it comes to large files or just wanting a scratchpad. I actually did buy a license!
Terminal #
Currently, I use Ghostty with JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono 12pt and the Catppuccin Macchiato colour scheme.
Everything else is stock and unconfigured.
Computers #
- Macbook Air M1 as my personal laptop
- Macbook Pro M4 16-inch as my work laptop
- I was running a Framework with EndeavourOS but I got tired of fiddling with window managers that would crash
- I also missed iOS/macOS interop like copying on your phone and pasting on your laptop
- Custom built desktop running EndeavourOS.
- I play games with a mix of keyboard and mouse, as well as a standard green Xbox One controller.
- I have some Razer mouse I got a while back but I don’t use any of the features.
- For a window manager, it’s just running stock KDE which is nice and boring
- I use a Dygma Defy with a Logitech MX Ergo S at work.
- I use a Daylight Computer for reading articles, books and manga
- I also have a smaller Boox Tab Mini C that I sometimes use for reading articles and books on the go
