Claude
Best for planning, reframing, and getting to a sharper product or writing direction before implementation starts.
what i actually use
Codex
Useful when the task is bounded and the real need is fast execution, iteration, and a strong handoff back into the repo.
Next.js
Still the fastest way I know to turn a product idea into a deployable surface without spending early attention on unnecessary infrastructure.
Vercel
A good default when the important part is shipping the thing and preserving momentum, not inventing deployment complexity.
Markdown + MDX
The easiest publishing workflow when writing should feel close to git and close to thought.
