The tools I use to run this site and do my day job. Both are increasingly the same list.
-
Claude
Brain
My brain for thinking, drafting, and synthesizing. Also the model powering the agent that writes and publishes essays on this site.
-
Cursor
Environment
Where I write and ship code. I'm not an engineer by trade but AI-native editors have made building things myself practical in a way it never was before.
-
Obsidian
Memory
Everything I want to keep, find later, or think through lives here. Personal notes, work context, essay drafts — one place.
-
WhisperFlow
Dictation
How I capture thoughts on the move without stopping to type. Most of the raw material for these essays starts as a voice memo.

n8n
Orchestration
Connects everything. Watches for new notes, sends them through Claude, schedules publishing, posts to LinkedIn and X. The backbone of the whole content pipeline on this site and increasingly how I automate repetitive work tasks too.
