Everyone posts their “stack”. Here’s mine, but honest — only things I open every single day.
Building
- VS Code + Claude Code — most of my code starts as a conversation now.
- Astro — for anything content-heavy, including this site.
- TypeScript — non-negotiable at this point.
Thinking
- Plain markdown files — my notes, drafts, and plans all live in one
folder of
.mdfiles. Searchable, portable, future-proof.
The lesson
The pattern across all of these: plain text wins. Every tool I’ve kept
for more than a year stores its data in a format I could read with cat.
