Uses.
What I actually open on a working day.
Editor & terminal
- VS Code — primary editor, with Copilot + Claude Code.
- Eden — macOS terminal for AI agent orchestration. I’m building it; I also live in it. Download → (link TBD)
- Claude Code — most of my agent work runs here.
- zsh with a thin dotfiles layer. Nothing exotic.
IaC
- Terraform / OpenTofu — daily driver.
- Spacelift — orchestrator for everything that ships through IaC.
- Pulumi, CloudFormation — read-and-modify, not net-new.
- Private module registry + label-driven policy attachment patterns.
CLI muscle
aws,az,flarectl,spacectl,terraform/tofu,kubectl,gh.jq,yq,fzf,rg— the standard set.
AI tooling
- Claude Code for agent-driven workflows and most of the platform automation.
- Copilot in-editor.
docs/ai/patterns in every repo I own — schema files, template metadata, validation rules. The repo is the prompt.
Cloud
- AWS primary. Multi-account, Control Tower, IAM Identity Center.
- Azure secondary — Entra, AKS, the bits adjacent to AWS via SSO.
- Cloudflare for DNS and edge.
- Datadog for observability.
This site
- Astro (static, design tokens, hand-built diagrams).
- S3 + CloudFront + OAC, behind Cloudflare DNS (grey-cloud).
- Spacelift stack against the
infrarepo for the AWS side.
