uses

the actual tools. zero affiliate links. (see uses.tech for the genre.)

hardware

MacBook — M-series; relentless. macOS for the unix + the apps.
Keyboard / monitor / desk — TBD on this page (I'll fill in when I rebuild the home office in Pune in June).

coding agents

OpenCode — orchestrator + 27 subagents. Where I do non-trivial multi-step work. essay.
GitHub Copilot — inline, always on. The boring middle of every file.
Claude Code — terminal-first, conversational, fluid. Best for unfamiliar-repo exploration.
Google Jules — async, autonomous, opens PRs. For bounded mechanical work I want to delegate completely. my OpenCode wrapper.

editor / shell

VS Code for ambient Copilot + comfort. Terminal in a side pane.
zsh + a small dotfiles set. Nothing fancy.
iTerm2 / Ghostty — both at various times.

infrastructure

Cloudflare Workers + Pages — for static sites + small APIs. Free tier covers more than I'll ever need.
GitHub Pages — for this site (legacy + cutover target).
Supabase — when I need a real database with auth.
Fly.io / Railway — for anything containerized.

writing + notes

Obsidian for long-form personal notes.
Plain markdown in the repo for OpenCode-adjacent context (~/.config/opencode/notes/).
Google Workspace for Tasks + Calendar + Drive. Wrapped by a custom @gws-concierge OpenCode agent.

fragrance while coding

Rotating. Newsreader-vibe sessions get something warm-woody. JetBrains-Mono-vibe sessions get something fresh-citrus. (Yes, this is real. essay coming.)
