My Tech Stack: 2025 edition - Trusty Duck Yapping into the void on code, art, food, and anything else that comes to mind.

Personal tech moves so quickly that I thought it would be worth pausing to take stock. I wrote up a little post on the tech in my life right now to reflect on what's working and what isn't: www.trustyduck.dev/posts/tech-s...

Are we still doing starter packs?

Put this one together because I love seeing things that lovely folks write on the internet, and I'm sure there are more people to meet and add to this list.

The Browser Company explains why it stopped developing Arc Arc browser is now in a holding pattern.

I am so sad that Arc browser is being discontinued! Truly made me rethink how I use the internet. I guess time to try Zen? www.theverge.com/news/674603/...
