About Alan
Hi there! I’m just your average nerd who happens to write code for fun.
The Nerd Stuff
I’m a software engineer who gets way too excited about:
- Clean code (because life is too short for spaghetti)
- New programming languages (yes, I’m that person who learns Rust “just because”)
- Debugging sessions that last longer than my coffee
- Git commits with messages like “fix stuff” and “more stuff”
What I Do When I’m Not Coding
- Read documentation (for fun, I know, I’m weird)
- Argue about tabs vs spaces on the internet
- Try to explain to non-tech friends why my “simple” project is taking so long
- Contemplate the meaning of life while waiting for npm install to finish
My Superpowers
- Can spot a missing semicolon from across the room
- Have mastered the art of “it works on my machine”
- Can debug production issues at 3 AM without coffee
- Know exactly when to use
git push --force
(hint: never, but sometimes)
Fun Facts
- I once spent 4 hours debugging only to realize I forgot to save the file
- My IDE has more extensions than my browser has tabs
- I can recite the entire “Hello World” program in 15 different languages
- I’m convinced that somewhere in the universe, there’s a server running my first “Hello World” program
“Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.” — Martin Fowler
(But let’s be honest, sometimes even I can’t understand my own code from last week.)
