TOOLING & COGNITIVE PHILOSOPHY

Tools as Extensions of Thought

I prefer equipment that disappears during deep work: ortholinear key switches that eliminate hand deviation, cinema sensors with dual-base ISO for optical clarity in underground venues, and high-temp CoreXY 3D printers that reproduce structural carbon-fiber parts with micron tolerances on the first run.
