The Gist # 01: An introduction

Who am I?

Hey stranger! I am a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I am a big nerd of well architectured software, good documentation and consistent coding syntax. I'm a C/C++ guy, but also think that Python and C# are OK languages (need something to write scripts). I hate web technologies like Javascript, databases, etc. I think that the current market is over saturated with mobile and web "apps", and every other startup is just another greedy app in hopes that it will go viral. I LOVE open source software, and use Linux (Arch) whenever I can. My main interest is in game engine development as it covers a wide variety of concepts. I spend half my days playing games, usually Dota 2 (ruined my life). Sometimes I also play other well designed and immersive games like The Witcher, To The Moon, Valiant Hearts, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed, etc.

Why am I doing this? Like, a gist blog, seriously?

Umm, yeah...? I have been a big fan of Github markdown ever since I started using it to document my git repositories (again, big fan of well documented code). And ironically, I hate the idea of public blogs. In my opinion, it's almost always just over selling the blogger itself to clench the thirst for publicity. So why am I doing this? Well I used to use Google Keep notes for thinking out loud, writing journals, etc. And then whenever someone wanted to see all of those, I would have to share a link to each of the notes. And also there's no formatting at all in those notes, so here I am.

What am I going to find here?

To be honest, not much. This is just my place for thinking out loud. Do NOT mistake this as one of those typical blogs. I am not going to exaggerate, oversell, or be politically correct but be straight up honest. Sometimes I will rant, and be extremely cynical. I will not backbite about other people, straightout backbiting is against my morale. I will be reflecting over my co-op experiences, thoughts about projects, new ideas, old ideas, other programming-related experiences, and sometimes irrelevant things. My goal is not to entertain anyone, so I don't care what someone wants if they choose to follow this.
