2020. Haven't broken it :D

Logitech, probably.

For design work cause of the touch surface.

Cracked back, case covers it nicely.

Cause it looks cooler.

Any brand (the cheapest).

Came from VS Code and haven't needed to go back.

Mostly stock.

My default when a provider allows a third-party one (anthropic doesn't).

In the terminal, and in the app.

Cross-reading matters more than picking a winner: what one writes, another reviews.

Kimi K3 Fast through Fireworks feels faster than everything else (haven't measured it).

For when the tokens run out.

For brain dumps. Local whisper model.

Never going back to JavaScript.

Have tried Bun as well.

Postgres > All other (relational) databases

On nearly everything. Mostly so starting a project is one command instead of an afternoon.

Deploys, PR checks, Jira and Google Chat integrations, tests.

When needed.

First. Unorganised.

Same job as the paper, but on a train.

Excalidraw, Confluence's, or whatever's open.

Last. Once the idea clicks it gets written down properly or it goes into a design doc.

Locks my phone and flies a little plane across a map while it does. Beautifully made.

Used it daily for 4 years.
