			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} on my schools Windows 7
				machines to toggle folder visibility with a password.  That became
				necessary because the genius m4_abbr(IT) guys at our school decided we
				should all save our work onto a shared m4_abbr(NAS) where everyone has
				read+write access to everyone else’s work.  @em {-How could that ever go
				wrong.}
			}

			aside {
				p data-ref="1" {-
					Shoutouts to
					@a
						href="https://www.instructables.com/member/Prof.%20Pickle/"
						target="_blank"
					{-
						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 I learnt to code from.
				}
			}

			p {-
				These days my interests lie mostly in m4_abbr(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 @em {-mmv}
				@a href="/prj/mmv" {-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 m4_abbr(HTML) and m4_abbr(CSS) because modern
				m4_abbr(HTML) frameworks are the worst excuses for software I have ever
				seen.
			}

			p {-
				As for my religious- and political beliefs, let’s make those
				clear:
				@ul {
					li {-You should indent with tabs and align with spaces}
					li {-Emacs is better than Vim}
					li {-C is better than C++}
					li {-The dominance of VSCode is an embarrassment to the industry}
					li {-
						Inheritance, Java, JavaScript, and m4_abbr(XML) were all massive
						mistakes
					}
				}
