How I pick my tools.

Every AI project I've evaluated for the practice, filed into the 16 buckets I actually think in. Not a trending list — a working log of what I looked at, what it does, and where it sits.

A snapshot, not a live feed. Star counts are frozen at 2026-06-20; the point is the shape of the shelf, not today's numbers.
