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" {-

}
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 {-Spaces should never be used for indentation}
li {-Tabs should never be used for alignment}
li {-Emacs is better than Vim}
li {-The dominance of VSCode is an embarrassment to our industry}
li {-
Object-oriented programming, Java, JavaScript, and m4_abbr(XML) were
all massive mistakes
}
li {-C is far superior to C++}
li {-Rust is not gods chosen language (even if it’s pretty cool)}
}
