👋 Hi!

My name is Lars and I am a software developer from northern Germany. I’m fascinated by technology and love programming, music, art, game development and plants.

💻 Tech

This website is built with Hugo and uses a custom theme derived from the Zola ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Bear Blog theme. I love the simplicity of it! See how this website changed since its birth in 2016 here.

My computer adventure started on Windows, later switched to Linux (Manjaro, Pop) and currently I’m using a MacBook.

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
