@[email protected]👋 Hi, I’m @thesaigoneer , our man in Danang.
🌱 No-coder +, perpetually between DE and WM
📫 Adjusted a gazillion of dots and still drinks beer. Since I've tried them all I've landed on KDE, dwm and a slew of other window managers. Quintessential distro-hopper, but running Slackware for over 3 years now. And counting. No issues with FreeBSD, Gentoo or Arch either. Prefer bare bones rolling. Into atomics and init systems also.

@[email protected]Overly opinionated software developer on the Angular team at Google. Web development is hard, so I build tooling that makes it easier. I love forcing web tools to do things they were never supposed to do.

@[email protected]I think of myself as an old hillbilly hippie. I've had several careers: Physics, personal counseling, computer science/software development. Unix/Linux.
Now I'm an old retired guy. I read a LOT. I think of myself as a liberal progressive politically. Some people know me as KB6QL.
I love the Grateful Dead. I love Gracie Slick. I also love the work of Johann Sebastian Bach. I have loved their work for more than 50 years. Oxford comma. Born at 310ppm CO2.
