- Hi. I'm Youwen. My foremost passion is writing - code, math, and words. I strive for - elegant code, beautiful math, and authentic prose. +

Hi. I'm Youwen.

+

+ I generally spend at least half of my time theorizing about abstract vapid nonsense in + mathematics and equally useless nonsense in computing.

+

+ The rest of my time is spent pursuing more fruitful endeavors such as writing software + and spending an inordinate amount of time optimizing my systems. +

+

+ I'm deeply committed to the craft of software engineering. In fact I am constantly + analyzing and predicting the latest trends of the industry so that I can do the exact + opposite. +

+

+ computing. +

I put most worthwhile things I do on my contact info, or keep reading.

- coding. -
-

-

- I learned how to code when I was in 3rd grade (around 8-9 years old). Regrettably, I am - not a gifted genius and did not build a massive open source empire nor did I found a - startup before the age of 12. My projects consisted principally of crummy games or - terrible websites. My biggest regret is spending the pandemic lockdown learning React - and web development in 2020 instead of becoming a cool kernel hacker or something. -

-

- Nowadays, my personal projects primarily consist of tools to make life easier. My - academic interest is in exploring how we can improve the reliability of computer - programs through formal mathematical methods - namely, the correspondence between - programs, proofs, and categories. -

- hacking. -
-

-

- Most people I know in real life think that I am some kind of hacker - likely because - they once saw me open up a text terminal and update my packages with pacman. I proclaim myself a hacker because I once learned how to create shoddy CRUD web - applications with fad web technologies and believe that places me in the same group as - Torvalds and the other hackers who build actual software. -

- linux users installing a web browser -

- I subscribe to this definition - of hacking, though, by which I am deemed a hacker. -

-

- math. -
-

-

- I learn about math I find interesting as a hobby. I also happen to be pursuing it an - undergraduate degree in it, soon. -

-

- I tried doing math competitions in middle and early high school before I realized that - it wasn't for me (that's my way of saying that I couldn't hope to compete with the - prodigies). Still, I wholly recommend that anyone who likes math take a look at The Art of Problem Solving before stepping into calculus and beyond, as mathematical intuition and insight is magnitudes - more valuable than a shallow familiarity with formulas or integration methods. -

-

- other stuff. -
-

-

- Let's see. I play guitar, although I haven't had much time lately. I play video games - sometimes, here's my Steam profile. -

If for whatever reason you're interested in the tools I use on my computer, I have a brief page about it. I'm legally obligated to notify you that I run Arch Linux with a tiling window - manager and Neovim. + >. I maintain a personal purely functional Linux distribution of sorts called + liminalOS, as well as an + extensive hand-rolled purely functional + Neovim configuration.

I'm generally very particular about how I use my computer and the software that runs on it. I don't always configure my tools in the most "user-friendly" way, but rather the most efficient
