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.
