The Foundation: Isaac Asimov
I am such a fan of sci-fi books that have expansive world building. I really enjoy how the story of the Foundation is told over the course of hundreds of years.

Stuff I like
A quick collection of things I like. I'm not very evangelical about any of this, but it's a fun list to compile and look back through.

Plain markdown in a git repo
I enjoy having digital notes for searchability and backups. Also, my brain naturally stores information as a DAG which maps nicely to directories and files. All the extra stuff provided by tools like obsidian get in my way.

NixOS
I find Nix's declarative model to provisioning far easier to maintain then an ansible playbook for my computers

Cosmic DE
I used tiling wm's before this. But I got tired of setting up applets for things like dynamic multimonitor selection and bluetooth. Cosmic just works for me (and the tiling meets my needs).

Zsh
Literally the only reason I like zsh is because I like the syntax for customizing the right hand side of my prompt better then bash.

Neovim + Tmux
I just like modal text editing. Neovim was the default choice for this at the time and I've never felt the need to switch since.
