about

I’ve been writing code for a while now (5+ years) which means I picked up a thing or two. I’m trying to figure out what stays valuable when the tools Specifically I focused on Web Development. Now I’m going deeper into things like C and systems.

learning

I’m using K&R's "The C Programming Languge" right now to learn C. I’ve been interested in systems-level and low-level programming for a while. I think understanding what’s happening one layer below the abstraction you were given is essential to being a good programmer, and C is the perfect language for that.
