i spend a probably unreasonable amount of time trying out ai tools, pulling their workflows apart and figuring out how they could actually be better.

most things i build start with one of these:

• “why does this need to be this complicated?”
• “can i control this from my phone?”
• “what would this look like if it was actually nice to use?”
• “surely someone has already built this” — usually yes, but somehow it costs €50/month

• ai agents, coding tools and all the new ways of building with them
• small apps and automations that solve real annoyances
• clean, polished interfaces that feel obvious to use
• local models and custom dev setups
• figuring out how tools work under the hood and seeing what else i can make them do

i mostly end up somewhere around typescript, react, python, fastapi, docker and git—plus an unreasonable number of terminals. but i care more about whether the whole thing feels good to use than which framework is underneath it.

gym, running, tennis and padel, house music, trying yet another markdown app, and optimizing some part of my mac setup that was probably fine already.
