Core Stack
AI Tools
Dev & Website Platforms
Local development: VS Code with GitHub CLI and Vercel CLI on both machines. Docker runs locally alongside a local Supabase instance for testing, while a cloud Supabase account handles production.
Multi-screen workflow: 8 screens split across Windows snap layouts - Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Perplexity, and VS Code all running simultaneously on different monitors to work on multiple projects in tandem.
Remote deployment: Once a project is live and deployed, Chase switches to ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex in the browser or on his phone to make changes and trigger new deployments - keeping local computer resources free for other work.
