Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.
- linus torvalds
I hate websites that have 100mb+ of javascript, just to get literally nothing across. Tailwind+React is making the web look like shit. Sorry, not sorry, i'm just stating my opinion.
My Principles for UI/UX and Software Development.
Design, must feel fast, and must look amazing, while maintaining as little bloat as possible.
I want to understand top to bottom my software stack, i want to be in control and not at the mercy of a developer, foundation or other entity.
I want to be able to sleep at night, knowing that my software is secure, and that my users are safe. I want to be able to say, with confidence, that my software is not a liability, but an asset. That being said, as much as i enjoy building it myself, for production applications i'll use the proper tooling.

About me
Im abnormal, a 21 year old cybersecurity student from California.
I've been programming for as long as I could remember, taking things apart, trying to make circuits and use an Arduino, always asking "how does it work." I started writing silly batch scripts when I was in elementary school, eventually discovering Minecraft and its incredible modding scene. I used to make Spigot/CraftBukkit plugins and Forge mods for fun, which has led me down some routes I don't have the time to discuss. Eventually in late middle school/early high school I got really interested in malware. I think the defining moment was the exploit "EternalBlue" found by the NSA and leaked to the world by the Shadow Brokers. I just thought it was insanely mind-boggling how it was used in one of the most infamous ransomware attacks in history, and how just a single exploit could cause so much damage. Simultaneously, I was writing Discord bots with Markov chain based "proto-AIs" that collected active users' messages and combined them into crazy sentences that were almost believable. I started learning about reverse engineering, and eventually got into cybersecurity, which is what I'm currently studying. I have done a few pentests, accidentally hacked a couple police departments, and have found vulnerabilities in software that were of course disclosed properly. I have also worked with the three-letter agencies here in the USA (pick one). I want to be a security researcher and work on things that would have a valuable impact on the world. I also have a passion for design, and I think good design is just as important as good code—that the two should go hand in hand. I want to create software that is not only secure and performant, but also beautiful and enjoyable to use.
