I program #SpringBoot web services and have now managed to avoid managing people. I used to program dev tools & before that, program mobile phones.

Once ran the same early Windows 8 build instance on both a hypervisor and native boot.

Old enough to remember #Symbian #C++.

I really like painting miniature figures like those produced for #warhammer, but am not so keen on #GamesWorkshop.

#OnePageRules is my current #TableTop #Wargaming jam.

Involved in some kind of computer bullshit.

Professional game developer (programmer), I also work on Engineer, a #FreeSoftware #game using #Godot. Which means sometimes I also make "art" (as in "programmer art" 🙃)

I like to make stuff, both hardware and virtual.

Interested in #GameDev, #OpenHardware, #LowTech, and curious to discover more.

I live in #France. Please bear with my occasional weird formulations, I'm not a native English speaker.

Software Engineer. Professor. Researcher.

Building things quietly and talking about music for hours. Probably overthinking both

Posting mostly in German, but I try to set the appropriate language attribute for each toot.

I like ciphers and dislike AI. I love Formula 1 and dislike broccoli. I know exactly one card trick.
Amateur Python coder, enthusiast of FOSS, self-hosting, crypto...graphy, smallweb, alternative protocols, lowtech.
Maybe a musician. Sometimes a neo-luddite.
I like annoying jokes and I'm sorry in advance.
I made this account so that I had this account.

Front-End Developer.

I have decided to change my profession again. After more than a decade, I’m back to HTML, CSS & JS now with React and Next.js to spice things up.

Natively, I dream in Bosnian. The dispute about the existence of such a language is available somewhere, but not here.

War refugee, illegal immigrant, and petty outlaw at the century’s dusk.

* how much you loved?
* how well did you learn to let go of things not meant for you?
