I own my career to React, so yeah. Unless something major happens I’m loyal. I quite like React server components, and even though I was sceptical at first, I’m happy with the direction React is taking.

I prefer typed languages, and I can’t imagine writing a large JavaScript codebase without it. For all it’s faults, it still blows my mind how much it improves the developer experience.

I’m using Next.js for this blog, and I’m relatively happy with it. I've changed my opinion about using Next.js for applications, but I wouldn’t mind using Next.js for content/marketing sites.

I find Remix / RR more to my liking than Next.js for applications. It feels more flexible, straightforward, and I rarely have to consult the docs.

Elixir is such a beautiful and elegant language; I have definitely improved as a developer by learning it. I’m using it for side projects and I’m loving it. Even if it doesn’t have static typing, I find pattern matching to be a killer feature that makes up for it

I think Phoenix has found the perfect balance between being a batteries-included framework and giving flexibility to the developer. Not overwhelming, but not lacking sensible defaults either. LiveView is a joy to work with, Ecto is a fantastic ORM, and docs are very good.

I've tried everything and this is the true way for me. I remember the days when I was writing CSS for a large fast-food chain website and it was a nightmare.

I’m using Zed as my primary editor. I’m also keeping an eye on Helix which is what I wished NeoVim to be.

I don’t want much from my terminal; be fast and don’t bug me all the time. That’s it. I’ve tried various emulators, but I’m bored of the constant configuration.

I used to use Bear notes, but I can’t stand having another subscription, no matter how small the price. I want one-time purchases and paid upgrades. I’m using Apple Notes now, and I’m happy with it.

I host all my static websites on Netlify. I have no reason to switch, and they have great support for Next.js which my site is built with.

I host my Elixir app and database on Fly.io. So far I have no complaints.

I like Claude. It helps me greatly with some chore tasks.
