It's difficult to explain.
I never call myself professional. But also the word "amateur" is considered negative unfairly.
I know some HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, Gulp – far from feeling confident, but enough to make some apps I personally find useful or fun.
I'm experimenting with absolutely anything my potato PC can handle: sometimes it's PowerShell, Python, TypeScript, and so on.
I could add some logos here at the later updates, I don't bother too much with the eye-catching formatting.
- Some time ago, I've removed all stars and follows. However, I can start from scratch, follow anyone, and star any interesting repository.
- Well, as long as this is transparent. I see no point in follows and stars if the lists are private by default. Dear GitHub, you better don't follow the paths of YouTube and X/Twitter.
- I'm not contributing to the repositories of other people yet, because I don't have enough experience. But exclusions are possible.
In alphabetical order.
If you'd like to see more info here, DM me or create an issue.
⏱️ Age
- I'm mid-20s. I saw early 2000s, lol.
- However, I'm not as old as you may think. I'm pretty much zoomer-brained, and that's NOT a bad thing at all!
🤖 AI
- I have a complicated relationship with it. I understand the position "AI is theft" and I'm on the same side. But the damage is done.
- It's naïve to not use the tools that already became a part of our modern lives.
- However, I'm not making my own contributions to AI, I'm not interested in it. Don't even suggest.
🧠 Autism
- I'm autistic, but it's not medically proven. I have conspicuous autistic behavioral traits and have had them since early childhood, almost from birth. It's both a gift and a curse. It's both a beneficial trait and something that has always dragged me down.
- A lot of people don't realize this or even know how autism manifests, so they just see the oddities but can't explain them.
- Is it a disease? More like a brain defect that can't be fixed. It'll stay with me for the rest of my life.
©️ Copyright
- I'm on the copyleft side.
- Whether you hate it or not, I love GNU AGPL. However, other favorite flavors of licenses are GNU LGPL and Apache. It depends on how valuable the project is to me personally.
- I also love Creative Commons, normally I use BY variant (earlier it was BY-NC-SA, but it's too restrictive).
- See LICENSE repository for more info.
- Copyright must be changed. This tool is too easy for rich people to get even more profits with no additional effort.
📦 Crash Bandicoot
- Whether you hate it or not, my most favorite classic platformer game is Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (2001). It's overhated, I enjoy it enormously. However, I love the original PlayStation 1 trilogy a lot (original game, Cortex Strikes Back, Warped), and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy improved things n. sanely!
- Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is FANTASTIC! Original Crash Team Racing is still quite fun though, it aged like a good wine.
- Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is... eh, too long and too difficult. Besides, art style is not my favorite. The game is good, don't get me wrong, but I feel weird playing it. I'd prefer more DLCs for N. Sane Trilogy instead (bigger than Future Tense or Stormy Ascent).
- Crash Twinsanity isn't quite fun, to be honest. But at the time, it was a step to the right direction.
- Crash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant – I don't understand why these even exist. It's like "I don't care that it's Crash Bandicoot, I'll do my own thing and I'll bring some big beasts just because I want to". What about Crash himself though?!
- Crash Team Rumble – no feelings at all. Just a party game. I generally feel nothing about those. Better than Crash Bash though, which is a big load of meh.
🔷 Doctor Who
- You won't believe it. I've watched ALL classic episodes of Doctor Who! All 26 seasons! Even before (almost) all episodes were released on BBC iPlayer as a part of 60th anniversary celebration!
- My personal rating of the classic Doctors (1963-1989, 1996):
- 6th Doctor (Colin Baker) – I'm extremely sorry, but I love his multicolored patchwork coat, the clashing colors overall in his clothes, his arrogant mannerisms, his exaggerated self-confidence. I just wish he was given more screen time and not all the behind-the-scenes bs. Big Finish audio dramas have helped this version of the Doctor really blossom, a lot of thanks to them, but I'm enjoying the on-screen appearances as well, can't lie. Twin Dilemma is a disastrous episode though.
- 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy)
- 3rd Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
- 4th Doctor (Tom Baker)
- 2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton)
- 1st Doctor (William Hartnell / Richard Hurndall)
- 8th Doctor (Paul McGann)
- 5th Doctor (Peter Davison)
- My personal rating of the modern Doctors (since 2005):
- 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi)
- 11th Doctor (Matt Smith)
- 10th Doctor (David Tennant)
- 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa)
- 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)
- 14th Doctor (David Tennant)
- Fugitive Doctor (Jo Martin)
- 13th Doctor (Jodie Whittaker)
- War Doctor (John Hurt)
- I like all Doctors for various reasons. There are no Doctors I don't like, even if they're low in my lists.
✉️ "Double-tick Syndrome", or "did read without responding"
- You guys are obsessed with the whole idea that if someone reads your messages, then they're obliged to respond. F-ing no! This is a bs logic. That's why I like Discord and numerous other platforms that at least provide the feature of disabling reports about the reading status. Double ticks violate the privacy, no matter what you think.

🙃 Emojis
- Love them! ❤️
- The emoji you'll notice me using most often is the upside-down face. 🙃
🈷️ Languages
- English is not my mother tongue (I know it at B2 level).
- I won't say what my mother tongue is. I don't wish to be associated with it until I learn more languages – this is my goal.
- As of 2024, I plan to learn Dutch and Spanish.
- Language is nothing more than a tool to convey the same thoughts by means more familiar to people who speak the language for various reasons, including cultural ones. Pardon me, but everyone counts 2+2 the same. If you put deep meaning into your language to the point where it becomes an ideological tool (i.e. you become annoyed to hear specific languages – "Ew, English / French / Dutch / Spanish / Chinese / Japanese / Ukrainian / Russian") – you and I are on different sides of the language vision. The vast majority of people don't put special meaning into the language they speak. If you're not one of those people, I'll have a hard time communicating with you, because I prefer to see the world more broadly and with open mind. It's great that you put your heart into your language to the extent that you're interested in its history and its development, but that doesn't mean you have the right to be prejudiced against other languages.
🏳️🌈 LGBT+
- Straight ally.
- You guys are genuinely way too obsessed with the whole idea. It's all very simple. Have whatever relationship you want amongst yourselves. It shouldn't matter to anyone. No one should tell you how you should live. However, in my opinion, sexual preferences are too intimate a subject to be publicized, in general, and it doesn't matter if it's about LGBT+ or not.
- In the current environment, I realize it's important to talk about it openly, but later on people will have to find ways to bring this topic back to intimacy. And I'm not sure that the problem will ever go away, because the conservative view of things is not going anywhere, it's not possible to "defeat" it, you have to find ways to coexist with it. The biggest problem is the aggressive imposition of viewpoints, the unwillingness to listen to other parties, and the failure to accept compromise. This applies to all sides of the discussion. I apologize for being so blunt.
🔓 Open-source, FOSS/FLOSS, and proprietary
- I support FLOSS wholeheartedly.
- I despise proprietary software, but I understand why it exists.
🥣 Plum jam
- My beloved! 😍
👔 Political views
- I'm a staunch centrist. Depending on the cases, I can lean to the left or to the right.
- However, I don't think that it's correct to use the left-right political spectrum in the first place, because many situations are complex and this spectrum oversimplifies views, causing one to ignore important aspects.
- I'll never call myself a liberal or libertarian, by the way, because I never am: for example, I have liberal views, but I also have views contrary to liberalism.
- To conclude this sub-list, I don't talk about politics openly. I am in a censorship situation in real life.
🤔 Pragmatism
- I'm a strict pragmatist. If something doesn't make sense from a practical standpoint, I reject it sharply. Even if something is very valuable to me, I am in internal conflict.
🤫 Privacy
- I'm a staunch advocate of privacy, both online and offline.
🛐 Religion
- I believe in myself. 🙃
- Okay, okay, jokes aside (however it's true, so it counts as a post-irony). I'm a deist. In conversations, it may sound like I'm an atheist, but in fact, I find it funny to think of the gods (plural, yes) as the entities who are not necessarily attached to the Earth, but more like they're somewhere across the whole wide universe. You never know.
- By the way, Bible means nothing, gods don't care about worshipping, and name any typical aspect of the religions, I'll tell you that deism is not about that. You can tell me various quotes from your religion and ask me if this deism of mine can portray the gods in detail in such a way that good and bad traits are noticed in them as in every human individual – I'll tell you that it doesn't matter. Yeah, sure, I can make up stories that people will want to believe too (after all, I'm a bit of a writer), but since when do people attribute human traits to gods without knowing the veracity reliably? I apologize a million times, or however many times you want, but this goes against my strong stance of pragmatism.
- But my views on other religions don't prevent me from respecting people who share those religions. It's just one of the many aspects of their lives, and I love those people for the other things. I never get into arguments about religions, as it is impossible to change someone else's views – religion is the kind of thing that tends to be reinforced from an early age. I apologize if this sounds harsh, but think back to when you started getting into religion. You can't completely say that a person can choose a religion freely. It is part of a person's culture.
- Despite all of this, I'm pretty much Christian-coded. Just a part of my culture, I don't choose it.
💬 Social media
- Social media is not for me. No matter how hard I try to do something, it often doesn't get attention. It's hard for me to get a feel for what people need. So I've given up and just do what I'm interested in, sharing things from time to time without expecting feedback. Maybe that sounds sad. But even if something goes viral or if someone helps make it more viral, it doesn't mean people will actually follow my content updates after that.
- Additionally, I have too little feelings about social media posts to comment on them. Usually I find nothing relatable. Well, that's just me.
Why so serious?
- Is it just me or is it getting crazier out there?
