why is your subtitle "im simply a creature. wobbling"?

because that's the truest description. I exist, I move around a bit, sometimes I fall over metaphorically. No deeper lore needed.

what distro do you actually use daily?

none as of April 7th 2026.

why all the retro web badges and anti-web3 stuff?

i like the old-web, and the old-web doesnt have anything to do with web3.

what text editor / IDE do you use?

vs code mostly, sometimes vim when I'm feeling extra masochistic. jetbrains pycharm when I really need to code Python.

do you prefer static or dynamic websites?

static. this site is mostly HTML and CSS with minimal JavaScript. it's faster, simpler, and doesn't require a backend. the old web did it right.

what programming languages do you know?

Python (most comfortable), JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS, some C, and enough bash to get myself into trouble. learning is ongoing.

do you contribute to open source?

not often, but I support the philosophy. i use open source tools daily and believe in the collaborative nature of the movement.

what's your opinion on web frameworks?

they're useful for complex applications, but many sites use them unnecessarily. not everything needs React or Next.js. sometimes vanilla HTML/CSS is the right tool.

do you care about privacy and security?

yes, but I'm not paranoid about it. I use privacy-focused tools where reasonable, avoid unnecessary data sharing, and think critically about what I trust online.

what's your take on AI and machine learning?

interesting technology with real applications, but also overhyped in many contexts. it's a tool—neither inherently good nor bad. I'm cautious about its misuse.
