/uses

My preferred minimalistic CSS framework, which is usually enough for small websites and even simple SaaS apps. It feels like a super power to write almost plain HTML and get something that looks presentable, supports dark mode and has just enough components to cover most use cases for me.

I often whish to search through large bodies of text, like my knowledge base or source code repositories, from the command line.

I use fuz for this and I’m quite happy with it.

I also have it aliased to my knowledge base folder for even easier searching.

alias search="fuz -p /path/to/knowledge-base/"

Go check out their website, it’s incredibly good at explaining itself.

To me, a backend heavy developer, HTMX is the frontend framework I like to use because:

• It does not feel like a JavaScript framework at all, but more like an extension of the HTTP/HTML model
• It allows me to write interfaces that feel responsive and modern to users while still doing all the heavy lifting in my backend with the tools I’m used to
• It works with my mental model, which is heavily based on the request-response cycle

My tool of choice for doing dependency maintenance/update type of stuff for both [[infrastructure-as-code]] and [[software-projects]]

Need to automate a VM? you need Ansible!

My preferred framework for building web apps

My preferred git server and CI/CD system, either gitlab.com or self-hosted.

A good way to pull in external dependencies into Kubernetes For writing my own manifests I prefer to use Kustomize.

My static site generator of choice, used to build my blog among other things.

A incredibly powerful tool for manipulating the heaps of JSON files and responses I interact with daily.

A lot of times I also use ijq¹ instead, which is a interactive version of jq.

I have run and am still running loads of Kubernetes clusters, mostly on-premise.

My prefered tool for writing and provisioning home-built manifests to [[kubernetes]]

My operating system of choice on the client, usually on a MacBook Pro.

PowerShell holds a special place in my heart as it was the first ever tool I dived into deeply and used to automate my daily work.

To this day it runs a bunch of fundamental automations in my life.

These days Python is my language of choice for both simple scripts and more complex backend applications, usually in combination with [[django]]
