You can learn enough Lisp syntax to write useful programs in about ten minutes. } } figcaption {-Mark J.

I like simplicity, and I take pride in actually understanding how my code works. This means I am deathly allergic to many things that plague modern software development. Things that include but are not limited to: @ul { li {-All web frameworks} li {-C++ and JavaScript} li {-Clean Code™ / DRY} li {-CMake} li {-Over abstraction} } } p {= Shoutouts to @NEWTAB href="https://www.instructables.com/member/Prof.%20Pickle/" {= Prof. Pickle on Instructables } by the way. Most of his stuff seems to have been deleted all these years later, but he was the guy that first got me into programming when I was in elementary school. } p {= 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 an easy-yet-extensible manner. I think my batch file-renaming utility @em {-mmv} @a href="TODO" {-does a great job at that}. } 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} write this site in plain HTML and CSS because modern HTML frameworks are the worst excuses for software I have ever seen. } p {= At the end of the day, I am a recreational programmer at heart and can and will code whatever interests me in the moment (CLI tools, emulators, Unicode libraries, etc.). I reject the premise that you need to write software for other people, that other people will use, or even software that you will use. I code for the joy of programming. } } footer { FOOT } } }
