I’m interested in computer science, especially distributed systems, and I enjoy backpacking, hiking, and sci-fi. I believe in the strength of community and sharing knowledge.

Here are some principles I believe in:

Read the Docs
Always dive into the documentation rather than jumping to conclusions by merely skimming through the code. Try to grasp the rationale behind the code’s behaviour.

Dive In and Experiment
Challenge yourself to reinvent the wheel, but know when to use established solutions. If you need to implement SHA-512, attempt it yourself, and then opt for a solution crafted by someone with expertise.

Comprehend the Entire Tech Stack
If your code operates within a Linux environment, shielded by a firewall, behind a NAT, and served by Nginx, make it your mission to understand the full tech stack and the complete journey of your request.

Continue Learning
Embrace the journey of continuous exploration and learning.

Embrace Open Source
Lean on open-source code—inspect and understand it as much as possible. Contribute however you can, be it through a translation, an idea, or more. Don’t be a dick.

Promote Open Knowledge
Share your knowledge openly with others. Cooperate, don’t compete.

Plain Files
Maintain notes and crucial information (excluding passwords, please) in simple, accessible formats like txt, md, or html, ensuring access across different operating systems and devices.

Avoid Vendor Lock-In
Balance reliance on service providers with your autonomy, ensuring you maintain backups of essential data that remain accessible even in the event of a service shutdown.

AI
Use AI if you want to, but, please, for all mankind, don’t let it reason for you. Let it be an help instead of a solution.

Walk
Take walks in nature and forget about your monitor when you can.

Live Free
Double-check what you read, engage your brain, and stay informed.
