Uses

The actual toolkit, kept up to date. Inspired by usesthis.com.

Hardware

• Asus Zenbook running Windows. The laptop is a thin client.
• A Linux dev server at home where all the code lives and runs. I work on it over SSH.
• Android phone, with Termux for the odd script.
• Ubiquiti UniFi network and a UNAS for shared files.

Editor & terminal

• Claude Code - primary pair-programming surface. Lives in the terminal alongside the project.
• Zed - my editor.
• zsh with Powerlevel10k.
• tmux - several sessions and panes per project.
• WezTerm on Windows, with WSL2 under it. From WSL2 I connect to my Linux dev server. That combo is my daily driver.

Languages & frameworks

• TypeScript for everything I can. Strict mode, no any.
• Astro for content-heavy sites, including this one.
• Hono for Cloudflare Workers APIs.
• Drizzle as the ORM.
• Next.js + Payload CMS for the One Vision Festival shop.
• Vitest for tests.
• Python for analysis scripts, exports and one-off data work.
• PHP 8.1+ for legacy WordPress / WooCommerce work.
• Tailwind CSS v4 for styling. Utility-first beats CSS files I have to navigate.

Infrastructure

• Cloudflare Pages - hosts every static site I run, including this one.
• Cloudflare Workers - APIs, cron jobs, webhook handlers, edge logic.
• Cloudflare D1 - SQLite at the edge. Default DB for new projects.
• Cloudflare R2 - object storage. S3-compatible, no egress fees.
• Cloudflare KV - eventually-consistent key-value for config, sessions, flags.
• Cloudflare Durable Objects - strongly consistent state when KV isn’t enough.
• Cloudflare Queues - async work between Workers.
• Cloudflare Containers - containers next to Workers, for what doesn’t fit in a Worker.
• Cloudflare Browser Rendering - headless Chromium on Cloudflare.
• Cloudflare Workers AI - reads the receipts in the expenses app, among other things.
• Cloudflare Vectorize - vector search.
• Cloudflare Access - in front of every internal tool.
• Cloudflare Email Routing - free forwarding for the contact addresses I run.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics - privacy-friendly traffic stats. No cookies, no GDPR overhead.
• Cloudways - managed hosting for the WordPress and WooCommerce sites.
• MySQL - behind the WordPress and WooCommerce sites.

Tooling

• Wrangler CLI - every Cloudflare deploy.
• n8n - workflow automation between the systems.
• GitHub - source of truth for code. GitHub Actions for CI.
• Docker + dev containers - every project gets a sandbox.
• claude-sandbox - my own dev container setup for Claude Code, made by me: a network firewall so it can run with --dangerously-skip-permissions, my default starter prompts, my own MCP servers and the third-party ones I use.

AI workflow

• Claude Code as the agent that touches files, runs commands, reads logs.
• MCP servers for everything else: Playwright, Cloudflare, Cloudways, Hostex, Mollie, Resend, DataForSEO, Avanza, custom MySQL.

Services

• Resend and Postmark - transactional email.
• 46elks - SMS.
• Mollie and Stripe - payments.
• Fortnox - bookkeeping.
• Hostex - channel manager for the rental properties.
