👋 Hi!

My name is Lars and I am from northern Germany. After studying computer science for six years I now work as a software developer. I'm fascinated by technology and love programming, music, art, game development and plants.

Check out some projects I have made over the years. You can find some more over on my GitHub page.

💻 Tech

This website is built with Zola and uses the Zola ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Bear Blog theme. Read more about my journey with static site generators.

I started my computer adventure on Windows, later switched to Linux (Manjaro, Pop) and currently I'm using a MacBook. I wonder if this path will repeat one day.

My favorite language for programming is Rust, closely followed by Go. Other languages I have used but don't feel as confident in are Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, C# and Python.

📚 Blogs

I like reading blogs. I have a random collection of thoughts on here too. If you want to explore some technical content then you might be interested in the following blogs.

• fasterthanli.me: Rust and programming concepts with a lot of detail and background information
• jvns.ca: technical concepts and programs explained with text and infographics
• lexi-lambda.github.io: functional programming, programming in general
• redblobgames.com: articles and interactive visualizations about game development
• samwho.dev: explanations and interactive visualizations about algorithms
• tonsky.me: UI, UX and web programming
• two-wrongs.com: stories and thoughts about software development
