Hi! I’m Eric. I had a dream where I wrote some text here and it was funny, but unfortunately that text eludes me now. So you’ll have to settle for this instead. At least I remember the site layout from the dream, so you have that.

I spend my hours doing alche-

I spend my days doing some amount of coding... but honestly my life has been kind of a mess recently. Anxiety disorders really do suck, if not only because you really don’t know when it’s going to end.

Who am I if I’m not the work I do? If not the ambitions I have? If not the skills and talents and lackluster awards that I’ve amassed through my two decades alive on this world? I don’t know

I like typescript. Well, I used to think it was the best language in the world. Elixir might be better, to be honest. and the BEAM and concurrency worker stuff? That’s just crazy. Javascript (and, by extension, typescript,) is singlethreaded, which unfortunately means that if your backend worker hangs on a request, your server is just pretty much defunct. I’m sure some frameworks have things to deal with this, but not Elysia.

Oh, and, I guess important things? I currently go to CMU (the less touchy-grassy one) and should probably graduate in 2027 (next year wtff) with a (literally now defunct-due-to-the-job-market-and-fking-stochastic-parrots) CS degree. No, CS does not stand for crop science - though that one’s probably more useful tbh)

Honestly? Life is too unpredictable to kill yourself over. Well hi, thanks for reaching the end of this introduction. Do you really know me any better? Are you vegan? What’s for dinner? Sadness and loneliness served on a plastic bowl of takeout, steaming hot with the anxieties of tomorrow and yesterday and yestermorrow. Exciting. Be sure to salt it with your tears. Seems like you're rather invested in my writing... maybe check out more of my thoughts over on the other page?
