~~~~~~ for devs

Loves lua and neovim, reminds me of wow. Getting into lower level systems languages like rust (prev exp as a kid doing games in cpp), would love to do more open source. 20+ years of exp fiddling around with computers in all shapes an capacities.

Self hosts, personal homelab that I’m working on. Interested in nix and running that in prod. 

Just got another 5090, experimenting running local llms via vllm and doing sft, rlhf experimentally
