AI Workflow Lab

The complete stack: How I build faster, learn smarter, and stay sane with AI-assisted development.

No fluff. These are the actual tools I use every single day. From terminal to deployment.

The Tools

💻

Warp Terminal

Core

AI-powered terminal with command completion, workflows, and beautiful UI. Where everything starts.

What I Use It For:

  • Natural language command search
  • Warp AI for debugging commands
  • Reusable workflow blocks
  • Keyboard-first navigation

Why This Tool?

Traditional terminals feel ancient. Warp brings AI assistance directly into the command line without breaking my flow.

Claude (Sonnet 4)

Core

My AI pair programmer. Handles everything from code generation to architecture discussions.

What I Use It For:

  • Code generation and refactoring
  • Debugging and error analysis
  • Documentation writing
  • Prompt engineering experiments

Why This Tool?

Claude understands context deeply. I can have architectural conversations, not just generate boilerplate.

Comet Browser

Core

Research browser with AI-enhanced tab management and context switching.

What I Use It For:

  • Documentation deep dives
  • Research session organization
  • Tab grouping and contexts
  • Dev tool integrations

Why This Tool?

Managing 50+ tabs across projects is chaos. Comet keeps research organized and accessible.

📝

Obsidian

Core

Second brain for dev notes, decision logs, and knowledge graphs.

What I Use It For:

  • Daily dev logs and decisions
  • Technical documentation
  • Linked note system for projects
  • Code snippet vault

Why This Tool?

Building in public means documenting everything. Obsidian makes knowledge searchable and connected.

Bongo Cat

Vibes

Because watching a cat tap keys while you code is scientifically proven to improve focus. Probably.

What I Use It For:

  • Moral support during long sessions
  • Stream overlay entertainment
  • Reminder to not take it too seriously
  • Pure joy

Why This Tool?

If you're not having fun, what's the point? Bongo cat keeps the energy light.

📺

YouTube

Learning

On-demand education. From Fireship's 100-second explainers to deep-dive tutorials.

What I Use It For:

  • Quick concept refreshers
  • Framework tutorials
  • Conference talks and tech trends
  • Background learning while coding

Why This Tool?

Text docs are great, but sometimes you need to SEE how something works. 2x speed is your friend.

🔬

LM Studio

AI Tools

Run local LLMs on your machine. Privacy-first AI experiments without API costs.

What I Use It For:

  • Offline model testing
  • Prompt experimentation
  • Cost-free iterations
  • Private code analysis

Why This Tool?

Not everything should hit a cloud API. Local models = full control and zero usage limits.

🤗

Hugging Face

AI Tools

The GitHub of AI models. Thousands of pre-trained models ready to download and use.

What I Use It For:

  • Model discovery and comparison
  • Fine-tuning datasets
  • Community model exploration
  • Open-source AI research

Why This Tool?

Why train from scratch? Standing on the shoulders of open-source giants accelerates everything.

🎵

Spotify

Vibes

Coding soundtrack. Flow states require the right audio environment.

What I Use It For:

  • Deep focus playlists
  • Ambient/lo-fi for writing
  • Energetic beats for refactoring
  • Silence breaker during debugging

Why This Tool?

Context switching needs audio cues. Different tasks = different playlists = instant flow state.

Oracle VirtualBox

Dev Tools

Spin up Kali Linux, Debian, or any OS in isolated VMs. Perfect for testing, pentesting, or just multiboxing for fun.

What I Use It For:

  • Testing apps in clean Linux environments
  • Running Kali Linux for security tools
  • Cross-platform compatibility testing
  • Isolated dev environments without Docker

Why This Tool?

Sometimes you need a completely separate OS without the overhead of dual-booting. VMs let you break things safely.

The Workflow

1

Start in Warp

Open terminal, use Warp AI to search/debug commands, navigate projects with keyboard shortcuts.

Warp Terminal
2

Claude as Copilot

Feed Claude the problem context. Get code, architecture advice, or debugging help. Iterate in conversation.

3

Research in Comet

Open docs, Stack Overflow, GitHub issues in organized tab groups. Keep context separate from personal tabs.

Comet Browser
4

Document in Obsidian

Log decisions, save code snippets, link notes. Build your personal dev wiki that grows with you.

Obsidian
