My Daily Tech Stack: Apps and Tools I Actually Use
Video write-up
My daily tech stack is not just a list of apps. It is a connected workflow that helps me document my HomeLab, work from the terminal, use AI with real project context, test applications locally, and safely move more complex tasks onto real infrastructure.
In this video, I’ll show you how I use Obsidian, Ghostty, Zsh, Starship, Pi Agent, OpenWhispr, Colima, Zed, and Orca through practical examples. We’ll review a real HomeLab update, build and test an ntfy proof of concept locally, and then use an orchestrated, human-approved workflow to deploy, verify, document, and clean it up on my HomeLab test infrastructure.
