Do not harvest and contact my email to advertise your stupid app. That is spam.<p>PGP key (for email alias): https://www.thejach.com/about#pgp<p>Available for IM on Matrix/Element -- Jach#matrix.org. Discord as jach9107. Sometimes on Libera IRC as Jach or Jachy. Hit me up if you want to chat about anything; I'm bad at reaching out myself.<p>I'm just some unimportant programmer, dabbler by nature, you probably shouldn't listen to me but that doesn't always stop me from commenting or giving advice.<p>Please excuse my Common Lisp evangelism, I'm just a poser who after a journey from PHP through Java, Python, C, C++, JS, Scheme, and Clojure, just loves the language, enjoys programming anything in it, and has fun trying to correct decades-old misconceptions about it. Maybe by the time I'm 50 I'll have more to show for it. i.e. I think it's better to write cool programs in Lisp than to evangelize, and I'm failing to live up to my own standards.<p>I've collected some stuff I occasionally link in comments here in one place: https://www.thejach.com/view/2022/1/thoughts_on_writings_on_lisp<p>I'm not currently employed -- I did a speed-run to quasi-retirement in 2020.<p>I have a BS Degree in Computer Engineering from a school more renowned for degrees in video game [engine] programming.<p>I'm located in Bellevue, WA, feel free to get in touch for coffee/dinner/whatever if you're in the Seattle area. Or even if you're not, maybe we can play some online games. I like to visit Japan, too. でも、私の日本語は下手です。
