No grand philosophy here. I reach for whatever gets me to a working thing the fastest — what proves itself stays, the rest I leave to the hype.
On the front end, TypeScript + React is my comfort zone, and the moment data wants to be seen, out comes D3 — that's how Venn Diagram Lab came to be. The back end is usually Python (FastAPI) and PostgreSQL, and for research code it's notebooks and R.
I like small, well-scoped tools: I'd rather write two hundred lines that do exactly the one thing I need than wrestle a heavyweight framework. Types, though, are non-negotiable — TypeScript and a few tests keep me safe from my own nonsense.
