Sid here. I’ve been breaking things for 8+ years to see how they work. I thrive at the soft spot between building cool stuff and learning new things.
I tend to start tons of projects and leave them as experiments rather than "finishing" them. I've been described as a "a god level developer who doesn't build projects"—my Github is mostly a graveyard of curiosity. I’m currently focusing on academic foundations, so most of this is "as-is" snapshots of various learning phases.
I’m primarily a JavaScript person (certified >99% of pros on CodinGame) but I’ve used TypeScript, Angular, Svelte, HTM/CSS, Node, Deno, and touched bits of C, Java, Rust, and Go.
I love code golf - I create hyper-compressed programs for fun. I am an avid vimmer and I love spending time tuning my dotfiles. I also blogged for a few years on dev.to.
Feel free to take a stroll through my repos and see if you can steal anything. Notable experiments:
- req (lightweight yet powerful http client)
- sleek (half built experimental web framework)
- lox (a tree-walk interpreter i wrote at 14; likely a disaster, but it works)
- betteregex (a modern readable regex format)
- unbug (modern node.js debug utility)
- 'nuff said (a collection of tiny <0.5kb node.js utilities)
- swatch (a beautiful TUI color picker)
- yason (JSON alternative parser)
- headliner (a headline review tool)
- typosquatter (magic typo fixing ✨)
