Maybe I should finally do an 🤔😅

Hi my name is Arne, I'm a programmer with an eclectic set of interests. I'm mainly active in the community, and before that in .

I used to make screencasts on lambdaisland.com (all free to watch now). Nowadays I run a Clojure-focused consultancy and agency, gaiwan.co .

I do a lot of , most notable the Kaocha test runner, but also several dozen other projects that people use in production every day. Much of this we now maintain with the Gaiwan team.

I grew up with the web and with open source, my first browser was Netscape 1.0, my first Linux was Red Hat 5. Just to say that I've been around for a bit. I do a lot of different programming but I'm a at heart. I care about an open web based on open standards.

I've done a lot of , lived in five countries, and speak five . Now I'm back in my native . Oh and I love (that's an understatement). Nice to meet you!

@plexus fellow Ruby-ist here! What did you work with in your Ruby days? Rails, or something else?

Public

@justomar all kinds of things. Professionally it was mostly rails. In the early days I was involved with Nitro/og, but that hasn't been around for a while. Sinatra for anything smallish. Shoes for fun stuff.

I developed a bunch of gems as well, Yaks in particular is pretty cool

@plexus hey, that's awesome! Just went through your gems. That's not a small number of downloads!

It's mostly web servers / APIs in Rails for me even for the small stuff. I'm trying to explore other use cases and frameworks.

@plexus Welcome! Love Clojure and wish I could get back into using it for a living. :-)
