igor, the blessed algorithm @hirojin@mastodon.social

hi folks

this is my first #introductions

my name is igor, and this is my (mostly) technical musings (rant) account.

i speak several human languages, and some more computer languages.
i'm self-employed, and currently on "vacation".
as a public speaker, i mostly talk about "soft" stuff these days. here's a talk about how i moved from ops to dev: https://blag.esotericsystems.at/articles/ops2dev/

i'm queer and enby, but ~most of that can be found on @meena

i want computers to be as magical as their promises

gainfully employed
painfully self employed

if the source is there, but it doesn't build, is it really an open source project?

i am a prolific floss contributor, practically a professional: https://github.com/iocage/libiocage/issues/353#issuecomment-390510464

i thought c++ had messed up my understanding what friends are, and then social media came along

extremely good™ programming language idea:

if your programming language has a nil type that can cause NilPointerExceptions, then Maybe should be your programming language's default type. don't @ me.

time to turn to full-blown cyber esoterics

i considered placing the "works on my machine" sticker as a form of charm, because, well, nothing works on my machine.

trying to describe my company:

Daniel works on top
and i work on the bottom

*nervous laughter*

but i kind of power top

*audible silence*

i don't often advertise software I didn't have a hand in, but this thing isn't just geniusly named, it's also quite useful when you're stuck somewhere without WiFi: https://github.com/yolosec/routerkeygenAndroid
