My favorite tech stack:

Tailwind

A utility-first CSS framework that allows you to build custom designs directly in your HTML by composing utility classes.

Apline.js

A lightweight JavaScript framework for adding interactivity to your HTML with a minimal amount of code. It's like a simpler, reactive jQuery alternative.

Laravel

A robust PHP framework for building web applications. It includes tools for routing, authentication, and a powerful ORM (Eloquent) for database management.

Livewire

A full-stack framework for Laravel that allows you to build dynamic, reactive interfaces without needing to write much JavaScript. It makes use of Laravel's Blade templating engine and allows for real-time updates.

Since all these tools are designed to work well together, the TALL stack provides a cohesive development experience. Livewire components can easily be styled with Tailwind CSS, and Alpine.js can enhance Livewire components with additional interactivity.

This makes it excellent for quickly developing and iterating on prototypes.

My Favorite Tools:

PhpStorm

Advanced PHP IDE that provides robust support for refactoring, debugging, and intelligent code completion.

Firefox

Free and open-source web browser known for its strong privacy features and extensibility.

GitHub

Platform for version control and code collaboration, with rich tools for team workflows and DevOps integration.

Docker

Containerization tool that allows isolating applications and their dependencies into portable and scalable containers, simplifying deployment and management across different environments.

Linux Distributions I Currently Use:

archlinux

Minimalist and customizable distribution that emphasizes the "Keep It Simple" philosophy with access to the latest packages through a rolling release model.

Bazzite

Built on Fedora and Universal Blue.

debian

A distribution with long-term support, requiring minimal administration, ideal for server environments and production deployments.
