Such software as dreams are made on. I mostly rant about performance, unnecessary complexity, privacy and data collection.

Joined on Feb 2, 2017 https://rhymes.dev

Favorite language is Python, I mostly use Ruby nowadays. Favorite DBMS is PostgreSQL. I think performance is a feature and I'm reconsidering the amount of JavaScript we're sending back into the world.

I hope to simplify everything with boring technologies.
