Lover of all things programming, especially when silly and playful.

Talk to me about logistics and your solarpunk dreams.

Posts are mainly puns, automata over streams, database implementation, procedural narrative generation, and questions about that thing you said you'd blog about.

Currently based in Portland, OR.

Hello friends! I'm looking for a part-time contract or FTE as a UX-focused software engineer, and rather than simply say my qualifications, I thought I'd show you.

From my portfolio: blast off to Preset Galaxy

This is a UGC platform I built from scratch for Orange Tree Samples, a well-known soundware company whose sample libraries you've probably heard in a game, TV show, or film.

Preview, download, and upload presets for soft-synths & effects. 🧡

I don’t want to be computer, I want to wield computer.
someone just described a Hot Pocket as "like a small calzone" and that's the most respect anyone's ever shown a Hot Pocket.

Whenever someone says they bounced off Rust's learning curve, I wonder when they tried it.

Rust pre-1.63 before Non-Lexical Lifetimes was sooo much harder. The broader toolchain was confusing until early 2024. Async is still complex, but there was a long stretch where it was intractable without full immersion in the state of the ecosystem.

My point is if you built your opinions pre-1.85 and especially pre-1.63 it's worth retrying. The most common roadblocks don't even exist anymore.

Some artist needs to dedicate the next 6 years of their life to figuring out how to turn House of Leaves into an audiobook.

Maybe every 7th odd page is a separate podcast, and chapter 3 has to be reconstructed from tape found buried under a tree.

Footnotes can be found by listening to the complete works of David Lynch in reverse in various orders.

Has there been an extended video essay about the history of getting random things to run DOOM yet?

The #meli e-mail client began as a C ncurses project back in 2017, quickly switching to Rust. Its name was "nutt" as in "new mutt" but that was just an ugly placeholder. It only supported maildir.

Since then, it has gained support for so many protocols: IMAP, NNTP, JMAP, and more. It is packaged in many distros.

Yesterday marked 7 years since its first public commit. Happy birthday!
