Gear

The desk, the bag, and the software. Specs included, opinions left in.

Everything on the desk on the front page, plus the stuff that travels. Two setups: one at home, one that fits in a bag.

At home

Laptop screen plus a monitor, both on arms.

Digio Wireless Laser Trackball Mouse

Tiny trackball mouse.

  • Bluetooth 5.1, up to 2 devices

Software

Development

  • Zed. Preferred editor. Fast, native, and built for working alongside AI.
  • LazyVim. Neovim, preconfigured: the insanely efficient hotkeys without maintaining the whole config.
  • Visual Studio Code. The backup.

Productivity

  • Obsidian. Markdown notes for personal projects and school.
  • Floorp. A Firefox-based browser that lets you rearrange nearly everything: vertical tabs, workspaces, sidebars.
  • Traveler’s Notebook (Passport). Paper, for the things that are easier to think through by hand.
  • Crunchyroll. I almost always have something on in the background while working.

AI tools

  • Claude Code. Anthropic’s CLI agent, for planning and multi-file work in the terminal.
  • Codex CLI. OpenAI’s terminal agent, for a second pass and code review.
  • Cursor CLI. Cursor’s agent without the editor, for quick edits from the shell.
  • OpenCode. Open-source terminal agent that can switch between model providers.
