Stack
The tools I reach for and why. Opinions are my own, formed through trial, error, and shipping real projects.
Frontend
What I use to build user interfaces
Component model clicks with how I think. Server Components are a game-changer. The ecosystem is unmatched.
App Router solved routing, layouts, and data fetching in one clean abstraction. Vercel's DX is incredible.
Catches bugs before they happen. IDE autocomplete alone is worth it. Makes refactoring fearless.
Utility-first finally clicked. No context switching, no naming things. v4's CSS-first config is even better.
Backend & Data
Server-side tools and databases
Rock solid, feature-rich, great tooling. JSON support means flexibility when needed.
Infrastructure
Deployment and hosting
Dev Tools
Daily drivers for development
Fast, extensible, free. GitHub Copilot integration is seamless. Can't imagine using anything else.
Pair programming with AI. Understands context, writes solid code, explains decisions.
Spotlight replacement that does everything. Snippets, clipboard history, window management.
Learning & Reference
How I stay sharp
Best technical writing on the web. Deep dives that actually teach you something.
Testing Library creator. Epic React. Practical, battle-tested advice.
Stack is a snapshot. Tools change. What matters is solving problems, not the hammer you use.
