#stack

The honest list — what I actually use, not everything I've touched once. React and Next.js are home; TypeScript is non-negotiable at this point; Tailwind is how I move fast without leaving a mess behind.

The backend half is newer and I'll say so plainly. Prisma over Postgres is where I'm most comfortable, SQLite for anything local, and Zod on every boundary I don't control. Solidity is on here as something I'm still getting familiar with.

Underneath all of it, the things I keep relearning: measure before optimising, keep state as close to where it's used as possible, and treat loading and failure as real states rather than afterthoughts.
