Uses

For the last twenty or so years, I’ve been a Mac person, prior to that, a die-hard PC fan, but I fell in love with Unix-flavoured operating systems.

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with a homelab setup, I like being able to run certain services in my own environment and using Tailscale to access externally.

Editor

Macintosh desktop with a terminal window containing the neovim editor

I live in the terminal. My editor of choice is Vim, more specifically Neovim. After I got over the learning curve (which admittedly was years), the modal style of editing is the most efficient way for me to work with text.

AI

It’s a fairly controversial topic, so I thought I’d dedicate a section to talking about how I approach AI in my day-to-day work.

For art and illustrations, I do not use AI for anything that I publish.

For coding and development work I do reach for AI as a tool, previously I used Claude as my model of choice, but now I find myself using smaller models like Kimi 2.5, and devstral 2.
