https://michael105.github.com - About me, old blog

https://gist.github.com/ - github repository index

A passionated opensource developer, having fun with minimizing a statically linked Linux conglomeration.


Started programming with Basic at an IBM PC(One of those first models,no hd, no graphics..), to head on to Pascal, later Cpp, did a lot with perl, some Java, Javascript, finally got back to C, Assembly and shell scripts.
Did work with sql, css, html, and so on.


DIY Electronics, mainly audio, etched own boards some time ago.

Currently having fun with shrinking binaries, system development with C and Assembler, (size) optimizing algorithms.

Yet all code here is written by me, in person,
albite I'm using AI to lookup documentation.

I'd say, until now AI would be able to write some code,
but looking for hard to find bugs and misconceptions takes
more time than writing the code on my own.
Besides, I'm doing my projects here for fun and contemplation.

Developing software means creative art to me.


Well. "most used languages", the box doesn't seem to work out.

So: C, Perl, C++, shell.
Less: Assembler, Javascript, sql, Java, python.
Long ago: Basic, Pascal.
