Tools I use

Pragmatic, local-first, maintainable.

Not an exhaustive list — this is the stack I actively use and keep maintained.

Daily cockpit

• Cursor — editor and daily AI coding workflow
• Tana — connected notes and thinking workspace
• Hermes Agent — terminal-first agent workflows
• Claude Code — coding agent for fast repo execution
• glab — GitLab from the command line
• gh — GitHub mirror and PR workflows

Website and publishing

• Astro — static site + content collections
• Cloudflare Pages — deployments and global CDN
• Resend — contact-form mail delivery

Homelab and automation

• Home Assistant — local home automation platform
• ha-mcp — MCP layer for AI-assisted HA workflows
• Proxmox — homelab virtualization base
• Ansible — declarative infrastructure management

How I choose tools

• Local before cloud when privacy and reliability matter
• Small reversible changes over one-shot migrations
• Logs and diffs over black-box convenience
• Maintainability over novelty for long-term use
