I am a simple guy with simple needs. My primary driving force is to learn something new every day. It could be ANYTHING. If I figure out a better algorithm I’m good. If I learn how to make pasta, that’s good too. If I feel like I’m stagnating, I will teach myself something new - typically a new language.
I am an information whore. I eat 500 page reference books for lunch. I thrive in groups where knowledge is shared. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to code. I'll tinker and tweak for eternity only to rework the whole thing when I discover a better method, all while still getting things done. I am an eternal optimist with occasional pessimistic tendencies.
