About
Hi, I’m Bastian Asmussen - a programmer who spends most of my time in the terminal.
I’m most experienced in Rust and like tinkering with Nix. I enjoy systems
programming, building tooling, and occasionally reading compilers papers at
unreasonable hours.
I tend to build things from scratch not because reinventing wheels is virtuous,
but because I’ve found it’s the fastest way to actually understand something.
I wrote an FFT before I knew what complex numbers were. I wrote a kernel before
I knew how interrupts worked. The projects usually end with me knowing the thing,
which is the point.
What I use
| Tool | Choice |
|---|---|
| Editor | Neovim |
| Shell | zsh |
| WM | Niri |
| Terminal | Alacritty |
What I care about
- Programs that do one thing well.
- Documentation written by people who had to figure it out the hard way.
