Uses
The desk, the machines, and the stack I reach for. Nothing here is sponsored — it's just what survived.
Desk
Daily driver for everything from Rust builds to Kubernetes clusters.
1080p at 100Hz. Wide enough for a terminal grid and a browser.
Compact mechanical, wireless when the desk needs to be clear.
Horizontal scroll earns its keep in long log files.
For conference calls, CFP reviews, and the occasional recording.
Good enough that nobody comments on it.
On-call companion.
It prints. That is the whole review.
Languages
Services, tooling, and most of what ships.
Systems work and anything where I want the compiler arguing with me.
Going down a level to understand what the rest sits on.
Glue, automation, one-off analysis.
Platform
macOS on the laptop, Linux everywhere that matters.
Cloudflare for edge and queues; the other two for everything heavier.
Plus Istio or Linkerd when the mesh is worth the tax.
Ansible and Puppet where the fleet predates it.
Jaeger for traces. Alerts tuned to be worth waking up for.
Config kept reproducible with Stow.
A Dell ES470 (Core i7, 16GB) doing the unglamorous work: Kubernetes experiments, Prometheus scrapes I don't want in the cloud, and anything I'd rather break locally first.
