I enjoy learning new things.
When I was younger I was lucky enough to be able to play around with computers and programming languages, but at the time I didn't yet realize how deep it all really is. I was barely writing my first programs in Lua, PHP, or JavaScript back then.
When I was about 16 years old, by chance, I came across a bunch of Japanese songs and I decided that I should learn this beautiful language. It's one thing to start learning a language and another to actually follow through and learn it, and well, I guess I'm just this crazy.
Once it was the time to go to a university I decided to study computer science, and that is where I actually learned what computer science really is or what implications it has. I came across language like OCaml and Scala which absolutely blew my mind.
Throughout the years that I could spend at the university I had the privilege to learn commonly used programming languages like C#, Java, TypeScript, Python, C++, and other useful technologies. I also went out of my own way to learn Haskell and Rust.
Q&A
Q. Why did you create this website?
I decided to create it as a way to practice my skills, and indeed a lot of what I currently know about running a website and web development is a direct result of me working on this. To simplify everything it's a static website served from Nginx, this way I don't have to do nearly any maintenance work.
Q. Can I take a look at the source code?
Sure thing! The source code is available either in a repository on my private Forgejo instance or on Codeberg (mirror), and you're welcome to learn. I just have one single request please, if you would like to use this code for your own website do allow others to learn from it too!
Q. What's your setup?
I currently use NixOS with KDE Plasma desktop as my daily driver. For editing code I use Neovim with plugins. I also have a server running NixOS, it's the same server which serves this website.
Q. Why do you use Neovim?
Neovim feels simple and to the point, imagine something between Notepad++ and VS Code, but awesome. I don't want to use Emacs, because I'm not really a fan of lisps, and it seems like way too much for my taste.
