A self-taught software developer from Brazil and + the Netherlands who grew up in the Middle East. I started to + code at the age of 9, writing batch scripts <x-ref>1</x-ref> on + my schools Windows 7 machines to toggle folder visibility with a + password. That became necessary because the + genius <abbr class="it">IT</abbr> guys at our school decided we + should all save our work onto a + shared <abbr class="nas">NAS</abbr> where everyone has + read+write access to everyone elses work. <em>How could that + ever go wrong.</em> + </p> + + <aside> + <p data-ref="1"> + Shoutouts + to <a href="https://www.instructables.com/member/Prof.%20Pickle/" + >Prof. Pickle on Instructables</a> by the way. Most of his + stuff seems to have been deleted all these years later, but + he was the guy I learnt to code from. + </p> + </aside> + + <p> + These days my interests lie mostly + in <abbr class="cli">CLI</abbr> development. I take a great joy + in writing simple yet highly effective tools to solve problems + not only in the easiest way, but also in the most extensible way + possible. I think my batch file-renaming + utility <em>mmv</em> <a href="/prj/mmv">does a great job at + that</a>. + </p> + + <p> + That being said, I also have a great interest in operating + systems, shells, and really anything that could be considered + remotely low-level.
