- <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>

- target="_blank">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.

- 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.

- 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>
