+ +Who Am I
+ +
+ 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
+ These days my interests lie mostly + in CLI 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 mmv does a great job at + that. +
+ ++ 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 did write this site in plain + HTML and CSS + because modern HTML frameworks are the + worst excuses for software I have ever seen. +
+ ++ As for my religious- and political beliefs, let’s make those + clear: +
-
+
- Spaces should never be used for indentation +
- Tabs should never be used for alignment +
- Emacs is better than Vim +
- + The dominance of VSCode is an embarrassment to our + industry + +
- + Object-oriented programming, Java, JavaScript, + and XML were all massive + mistakes + +
- C is far superior to C++ +
- Rust is not gods chosen language (even if it’s pretty cool) +
