about me
things i like
- I like computers. They enable wonderful new ways of expression and open
access to incredible amounts of knowledge. But I also dislike computers
for being drivers of social isolation and the decline of
democracy.
- I like simplicity. There are rational justifications for this but I
like it because it gives me a sense of comfort and beauty.
- I like programming. Besides being an extremely convenient skill it
enables you to "create the world" as Linus Torvalds put it
aptly.
- I like open-source. It captures all of the good things about
computers.
- I like Unix. I think I would prefer a microkernel OS (based on
L4
for example) but I have not used such an OS yet.
- I like JS/HTML. It's the most accessible and the most portable
programming environment available today. I dislike npm and the attached
ecosystem (no accessibility, no portability, no simplicity).
I dislike CSS.
- I like C. C feels like the original way things are supposed to be.
Learning C makes you understand computers.
- I like Lisp (Scheme). I have never used it though.
