My dev environment: Nix, git, just, backlog, Claude Code

The development half of my stack: Nix for reproducible software on any distro, git as the decentralized transport, just as the one command surface humans, AI agents, and CI all share, and backlog to keep tasks in git instead of racing to a server. Claude Code drives it: no MCPs, no giant third-party stacks, just context engineering over low-friction local tools. Local-first, and no containers for development.

Niche: a Nix-native blog engine

The engine behind this blog: a small Rust binary wrapped by a Nix flake, built as a compiler toolchain — compile each post, link cross-references, compose the site. Nix is the config language and the build cache; there is no YAML.
