About

"They" or "he" are fine. Programmer, advocate, cyclist. Evil starts when you treat people like things. At work, I used to do maths then I started making clouds. I use all three editors. I love getting outside (walking, biking, running, camping) and learning cool things. I love art, music, stories, dancing, and tech. I often follow folks I want to learn from. #agile #books #dei #golang #bash #java #js #haskell #lisp #unix #devops #slackware #bsd #ed #vim #emacs
