Working with web technologies

― I write software & design interfaces,

looks beyond frameworks and find joy in art, architecture, and independent entities with critical abilities that continue to challenge set structures.

I like to keep the `Unix philosophy' in mind when thinking around software, and the idea behind the Choo project has also left a lasting impression on me.

Systems should be built to last,

with deliberateness

and control over complexity.

Nothing drains your faith faster than a

bloated

codebase.

Personal Computing

⁂

A younger me used to be an advocate of the free software movement, I even used the legendary Lemote Yeeloong 8101B laptop for some time. But have long since surrendered to the convenience in Apple Inc products.

Setup

I try to keep my system setup as clean as possible from applications & plugins. I'm fine with the default terminal app on Mac OS, I also don't prefer a specific shell. Running a clean install of VS Code and trying to move away from Chrome amid privacy concerns.

Keeping your setup minimal also helps a lot when starting fresh. I used to keep my SSH key on a physical card, but that was always a pain configuring it to work on a new system, so I stopped doing that.

Open Source

Years ago I used to contribute to open source projects, mostly to libraries around GitHub´s electron project. Probably helped me get a job or two in the past. Nowadays I hardly find the motivation to contribute while working full-time.

Languages

A lot of developers gets personal about programming languages, I don't. I code mostly in JavaScript, for convenience, since it can be easily utilized in a lot of different cases.
