Codex

This is the tool I’ve used to help me move closer to the build, elevating my knowledge of the underlying code, structure and mechanics of shipping something live. It’s also become my default interface for ChatGPT.

NotebookLM

A research and consolidation tool that is especially useful to interrogate multiple documents to gather specific insights and overall summaries. The podcast feature is especially useful to have as a way to digest information on the go.

Vercel has been one of the most confidence-building tools in this process because it made publishing feel understandable rather than intimidating.
