I’m a pro­gram­ming buff with formal train­ing in jour­nal­ism. I worked in Sili­con Valley, now I’m based in Prague.

I build games, teach pro­gram­ming, explain things, and create silly soft­ware experiments.

I'm looking for ways to quickly mess with number constants inside the IDE (like in Bret Victor's famous talk). Any ideas?
