I write code, gamedev and tools, pure coding, no big engines, open source C and C3 programming, software craftsmanship.

I'm a self-motivated developer from a future that's already in the past. But time is linear only in our minds, and everything eventually returns in a new binary form.

In this era of AI and the hype surrounding it, in this era of capitalism and rapid, templated software development, we can choose two paths: go with the flow and follow all the "modern" technologies and trends to be attractive in the so-called labor market; or remember what the founding fathers of computer science and programming taught us, to be craftsman of code.

Hardware is becoming ever more powerful and faster, but software continues to run slowly. What's the secret? Isn't it that a development stack is being forced upon us, and software is being churned out like matches in a factory, which is then sold for big money by our "respected" employers. Their priority is to quickly get results—profits—but what about us?

Software must run quickly, because there's nothing, from a technical or programming perspective, that can hinder it. Everything has already been invented before us; all that's left is to learn it and not be afraid to write code with your own hands and brains. Let the quotes continue:

“I never am really satisfied that I understand anything; because, understand it well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand about the many connections and relations which occur to me, how the matter in question was first thought of or arrived at, etc., etc.”
― Ada Lovelace

“The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.”
― Dennis Ritchie

“Computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty. A programmer who subconsciously views himself as an artist will enjoy what he does and will do it better.”
― Donald Knuth
