"seize the means of compilation" - me, probably

uwu hai!! i'm a student who's absolutely feral about:

• AI (yes including AI art, it's a tool and tools are morally neutral)
• procedural generation (making infinity go brrrr)
• SDFs & fractals (geometry but make it spicy)
• abstract math (touch grass? nah, touch manifolds)
• space & string theory (11 dimensions or bust)
• lambda calculus (functions within functions within functions...)

extremely left-leaning. eat the rich. mutual aid > capitalism. trans rights are human rights. no ethical consumption under late-stage capitalism but we do our best uwu

// uwu the only real systems language
std::vector<std::string> loves = {"C++", "Python", "R", "Malbolge"};

• CMake - the build system that actually makes sense (fight me)
• GCC - compiler supremacy, no notes
• Vulkan - graphics API for people with taste
• Doxygen - because commenting code is self-care

• Rust - memory safety? more like memory cringe (jk but also not jk)
• OOP - objects are fake, functions are forever
• Proprietary software - information wants to be free bestie

path traced pong on the CPU because why use the GPU when you can make your processor cry?

features that make it iconic:

• full ray tracing on CPU (masochism but make it art)
• physically accurate lighting (for PONG)

Currently diving deep into literally everything that catches my interest:

• SDF rendering techniques (making spheres march like it's their JOB)
• quantum field theory (physics but make it incomprehensible)
• category theory (math so abstract it hurts)
• procedural generation algorithms (more chaos, always more chaos)
• AI/ML techniques (neural networks go brrr)
• advanced lambda calculus (Y combinators my beloved)

"why write object-oriented code when you could write CORRECT code?" - me, a functional programming warrior

i genuinely believe:

• code should be excessively commented (future you will thank present you)
• open source is praxis
• accessibility matters in tech
• functional > imperative (pure functions or perish)
• everyone should learn lambda calculus (it's just neat)
• AI art is a tool like any other (the ethics are in how we use it, not the tool itself)

• i unironically write Malbolge (yes, i'm okay, no, i don't need help)
• i think CMake is beautiful (this is a cry for help)
• i've memorized more lambda calculus than i've memorized people's names
• Vulkan makes me feel alive (the pain is worth it)
• my actual code documentation is surprisingly professional despite everything else about me
