:3c

Occasional code golfer and creator of silly things, as well as comic main character, furry automator, elected RO of The Garbage Collector, and founding member of the PLDI Mafia. (I'm user #9 on the site!) I also contribute to Vyxal every once in a while. My favorite thing to do is create massive projects, rope other users into them, and then abandon them after a week. Not to be confused with https://bioinformatics.stackexchange.com/users/73/.

I'm frequently in The Nineteenth Byte and The Sand Trap, where I talk about stuff and occasionally say something witty. If you want to talk to me for some reason, you can do it there. Pronouns: they/she

I am in control of the following accounts, in addition to this main one:
