+ <h2>Who Am I</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ I’m Thomas. 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>
+

+ 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. I’m not totally afraid of front-end
+ development, although I <em>did</em> write this site in plain
+ <abbr class="html">HTML</abbr> and <abbr class="css">CSS</abbr>
+ because modern <abbr class="html">HTML</abbr> frameworks are the
+ worst excuses for software I have ever seen.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ As for my religious- and political beliefs, let’s make those
+ clear:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Spaces should never be used for indentation</li>
+ <li>Tabs should never be used for alignment</li>
+ <li>Emacs is better than Vim</li>
+ <li>
+ The dominance of VSCode is an embarrassment to our
+ industry
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Object-oriented programming, Java, JavaScript,
+ and <abbr class="xml">XML</abbr> were all massive
+ mistakes
+ </li>
+ <li>C is far superior to C++</li>
+ <li>Rust is not gods chosen language (even if it’s pretty cool)</li>
+ </ul>
