What’s your workspace like?
What devices and gadgets do you use in your daily work?
Nothing special. I often work in public cafés with just my laptop! Oh, and DJI camera for multiple purposes.
What applications and tools do you use?
Just my laptop! M1 Mac. My favorite laptop ever.
What AI tools (IDE, CLI, Skills) are you using?
For AI tools, I use both Claude and Codex, since I primarily work from the terminal. I tend to use them in parallel. If I reach my limit with Claude, I switch to Codex. Using both also gives me different viewpoints. I don’t yet use skills, but I do make smart use of AI by creating artefacts (e.g., documents or scripts) so that I don’t start from scratch with each request.
Where can people find more about you?
Kindly sharing my personal blog and My Mobile System Design book
