<p>As well as using <a href="/daily/2024/12/07/open-source">free and open source software for my homelab</a>, I develop software applications for clients using open source software, such as PHP, Drupal, Symfony and Sculpin.</p>
<p>I also use open source software to do this.</p>
<p>I use <a href="/daily/2024/09/08/my-laptop-died">NixOS as the operating system on my laptop</a>.</p>
<p>I use Alacritty as my terminal emulator and tmux as a terminal multiplexer to have different sessions, windows and tabs for each project.</p>
<p>I write my code in Neovim and use various additional plugins.</p>
<p>I use Git for source control and tools like PHPStan, PHPUnit and Pest to run checks on my code.</p>
<p><a href="/daily/2024/11/30/using-nix-for-local-application-development">I use Nix and devenv</a> to run the applications locally and host them on Linux servers running Nginx.</p>
<p>I also use OBS, Kdenlive and GIMP to record and edit my content, which are all also open source projects.</p>
<p>I run an open source business, using open source tools and projects and contribute to and <a href="/daily/2024/03/09/override-node-options-40624-drupal-websites">maintain my own open source software projects</a>.</p>
