What I work with
The editor, tools and software I do my work with.
Editors
- VS Code
- Where I spend the day: code, terminal and Git in one window.
- Visual Studio 2022
- For anything C# and .NET.
- Arduino IDE
- For flashing firmware to the ESP32 and reading what it says over serial.
AI
- Claude Code
- My pair programmer. I own the architecture and review every change.
- Gemini
- A second opinion, and the terminal when I want to test an idea against another model.
Servers and APIs
- Docker
- If it runs on my machine, it runs on the server. That’s the idea.
- WSL
- Linux inside Windows, so I work with the same commands as on the server.
- Postman
- For talking to an API before writing a single screen.
Networking
- Cisco Packet Tracer
- Testing a VLAN here is cheaper than testing it on the rack.
- Wireshark
- For when “the network is slow” needs evidence.
Processes, data and notes
- Bizagi
- For drawing the business process before coding it.
- Power BI
- Dashboards so the numbers make sense without opening the database.
- Notion
- To-dos, notes and the list of things I want to build.
