At the end of 2024, I documented my personal tech stack for the first time.

A few years back, I took the family on a road trip from Florida up to Charleston, SC.

As a neckbeard who started coding in the 1900s, I’ve steadfastly held on to my terminal-centered workflow.

Once again, if you’re not using Hugo to build a static site, your time is better spent elsewhere.

At some point, all of my Bash scripts become incomprehensible enough that I’m forced to re-write them in another language.

If you don’t use Hugo to build a website, then you’re gonna be real bored here.

Like any self-respecting, somewhat security conscious nerd I make sure my SSH keys have a stupidly-long passphrase.

Like any nerd who spends way too much time in the command-line, I absolutely love FZF, a fantastic fuzzy finder that’s been an essential part of my workflow for years now.

Being just barely off the spectrum, I’m inexorably drawn to measuring and recording all sorts of things.

Web designers (and pre-2015 Instagram users) have all experienced tyrannical enforcement of square crops for images.

Back before everyone was working from home, I wrote about my Green Screen setup and shared a selection of daily screenshots from meetings.

As I’ve warned you before I barely know how to turn on a computer, let alone operate it securely.

I don’t let lack of knowledge stop me from trying to run and maintain a few Linux machines.

For the past year and a half, I’ve been working remotely for Coda.

I am computer nerd who is easily seduced by automation, which means I end up writing a fair number of shell scripts.

When possible, avoid mixing React event handlers with the native DOM event handlers.

Due to a combination of hoarding (digital and physical), frugality, and laziness I have a large number of external hard drives and cloud services that I use for general storage and backup.

My road to being a huge Twitter celebrity (almost 2,000 followers!)

Note: A lot has changed since the writing of this post, and I’ve changed my config to use coc.nvim.

A little over three years ago, I decided to join up with some friends and go on a crazy mission to re-think design decisions made almost 40 years ago.
