![]() Unless I’m doing software development, almost every other task I do is done on the iPad. 1 But more than that, I often used fiddly tools to manage everything else: I’ve tried almost every to-do list and task manager, research notes lived in a not-too-easy to install or maintain git-backed wiki environment, experiments with my own custom wiki system written in Hugo, the fiddlyness of Scrivener for writing, and countless other tools, systems, and processes that required a whole slew of libraries, apps, and languages.īut where these tools largely didn’t exist is where I now write and work: on the iPad. And I still use vim (and the terminal) every day for its more development-oriented tasks (although, I’ll more likely open VS Code if I’m spending a day in a code editor). I wrote my dissertation in vim I’ve written more than a few academic articles in vim nearly every post on this site was written in vim. The last thing I want when it comes to other aspects of my work (namely, writing, note-taking, organizing sources, etc.) is to fuss with even more technical tools or, worse, things that simply block my ability to do work.įor a long time I was exclusively a vim user. Which means I also spend every day working deeply in tech stacks and, sometimes, bang my head against the wall for a while trying to solve a problem. I’m a software developer who spends every day building web applications, APIs, interfaces, and interactive data visualizations. I’ve spent the last couple of months thinking about the tools I use to do my work. ![]()
