Technologies

Programming Languages

  • Go is my go-to to for being productive quickly
  • TypeScript because I have to. It's actually not bad
  • Python when I forget how much I love type safety
  • Rust when I feel like making art

Infrastructure

  • GitHub Actions is the best CI/CD tool available
  • Docker / Kubernetes for work
  • Pulumi / Terraform because infra-as-code is the way

Quotes

I am indeed thrown arbitrarily into history. I therefore choose to voluntarily shoulder the responsibility of my advantages and the burden of my disadvantages -- like every other individual. I am morally bound to pay for my advantages with my responsibility. I am morally bound to accept my disadvantages as the price I pay for being. I will therefore strive not to descend into bitterness and then seek vengeance because I have less to my credit and a greater burden to stumble forward with than others.

Jordan Peterson, foreword to The Gulag Archipeligo
