Setup page / personal stack

Uses

The gear behind the projects. Yes, this is the setup page. Yes, this is where I publicly admit my monitor wish list like it is a side quest.

Hardware

Two-laptop life because one machine is never enough when tabs start multiplying.

MacBook Pro (M4, 2025)

Main machine for coding, design, and pretending I have a clean desktop.

Editor + Code Style

My coding cockpit is simple and fast: no bloat, just vibes and shortcuts.

Tap for editor lore.

Current status: tabs under control (probably).

Infra

Hosting

I host most projects on my own hardware or on a Hetzner server. It keeps things flexible, lets me learn more infra, and gives me full control when I break something at 2 AM.

Hosting mood: 99 percent uptime, 1 percent me staring at logs like they are going to confess first.

Daily stack

Daily Apps

Notion runs both my notes and task management. Discord handles messaging. Google is my search engine. Chrome is my default browser.

Quest

Wishlist

One new coding monitor. Bigger screen, cleaner split panes, fewer alt-tab Olympics. If this appears on my desk one day, productivity will increase by at least 17 percent and chaos by 34 percent.

Unofficial benchmark method: opening VS Code, Discord, Chrome, Notion, and pretending this is a calm workflow.
