My job? Computer Sisyphus and Meme Historian. I work on cryptography, FIPS, and open source. I like video games, books, and riding my bike. I use Arch, btw.
I work for Chainguard, but I definitely don't speak for them.
Sometimes you just have to sit back, relax, and let the train wreck itself.

"We spent decades trying to invent a sufficiently smart compiler when we should have been inventing a sufficiently empathetic one." — @benleedom
#Rust Compiler team member. If you have to search for answers when the compiler is talking to you, that's a bug.
There are no bad programmers, only insufficiently advanced compilers.
Cache-locality awareness evangelist. UTF-8 maximalist.
You can't "individual responsibility" your way out of systemic problems.

Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)
@[email protected]Structural biology (XFEL crystallography, cryoEM, electron crystallography) data processing methods developer. I use my degree in chemistry to write software to use physics to understand biology. As of 2024, based in Hamburg. Ich hätte gern, wenn du mein schlecht Deutsch korrigierst, ob du das willst.
70% coffee by volume. I’m really into electronics, 3D printing, and sewing right now, and trying very hard to learn German. I have a very fluffy and affectionate cat. Big fan of bicycles and trains, better public infrastructure generally, and investment in collective wellbeing generally. Food motivated; very easily bribed with coffee and pastries. Always learning.
I'd rather you get a sense of my values from checking my feed, but in very-very-brief, fascism is bad, open source and open science are necessary but not sufficient, and the right to repair includes yourself.
