they/them

sometimes i dont like talking about projects with people because theyll be like "hey why dont you monetize that?" or "hey why dont you turn that into a business?" like no man it being free to use for anybody is like half the reason why i made that thing

not everything made has to have monetary value sometimes u can just be silly for the sake of being silly or make for the sake of making let me do opensource software in peace ok thanks

I told myself I would never use rust.

But pandora's box of borrowing variables is tempting me

do it rust is fun and it’s a pretty gay programming language tbh

timing

i am only able to write code at 3 am when pointers suddenly make sense and i can move on from boilerplate

coincidentally the meds also seem to wear off around then

premature optimization

ordinary diff eqs

nvim

i use nvim solely to feel cool

like look at this i know what im doing i definitely was not combing through documentation for the past hour definitely i am so good at what i do definitely mhm

rust

coming from a language like python to rust looks really nice because of all the fancy memory handling and error handling but then the minute i have to deal with typing with lifetimes i start sobbing violently

at the very least the compiler is nice enough to suggest solutions unless you're using an obscure crate in which case i might as well die
