I hold a Master's degree from DIKU (Computer Science at Copenhagen University), with a Bs.C. in Computer Science from Århus University.
I started programming relatively late at the age of 21 when I started my computer science degree at the University in Århus.
Programming I love programming. My interests in Computer Science are rather broad, but one of my chief interests is programming languages. The study and implementation of programming languages is extremely interesting. I have experience working with and studying the following list of languages
Up until recently, I used Go all the time, because it is just awesome. As an exercise I implemented a Rubular-like regular expression editor and tester Greg. Currently I'm learning Rust, which so far I think is pretty decent. It is still rough around the edges, but the declared goals of Rust are a tall order, so some roughness is to be expected.
Free and Open Source Software I am a strong supporter of the Free Software movement and FSF, and believe the Open Source way of developing software is the path of the future.
For software I use Emacs, vim, Zsh, git. I follow the development of some software projects, notably Linux, git and tig.
Social media I don't. "Social media" should be considered bad, even as a term. I think there is so much unnecessary noise out there that everybody would benefit more from not being around it so much. There is also a question of people not knowing they are a resource for the media they are using, since most believe the media to be a resource for them to use. One of my favorite discussions topics is how much certain social media sites have managed to shift the terms of privacy (but I'll leave this topic for another time).
That being said, I do have an online presence on some sites:
