I'm one of the elected moderators on Unix & Linux.
I currently work as a software developer, supporting bioinformatics and biomedical research. I've been using various Unix systems since around 1992. Privately, I'm using a mix of OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and macOS, but my workplace mainly uses Ubuntu Linux and Alpine Linux.
Two beautiful things in Unix:
- Pipelines, and
- The pattern-action mechanism of
awk
.
I want to write an ed(1)
clone. I'm doing my best to learn toki pona (a conlang).
I'm a Dvorak keyboard user, but generally a nice guy, really.
