A new dwelling for my thoughts

fn hello() {
  println!("Hello, world!");
}

For a while now I have been considering starting writing down my ideas, forcing myself to think them through and lay them out logically. I don’t expect that these will be read by anyone but by laying them bare I hope to take them more seriously than I would otherwise.

Who am I?

My day job involves developing software for various nautical autonomous systems (underwater robots!). This mainly involves managing a small team, writing and reviewing code (mostly C++), and general interaction with many customers.

During my free time I enjoy learning and find it difficult not to be distracted by anything even vaguely interesting. I play games, go to the gym, tinker in Rust, read books, cook, and have recently starting reading up about gardening. There are many areas of these I could dive into but I will leave that for the future. Enough about me.

Plans

I have a few ideas for future posts, mostly revolving around robotics and rust. I would like to put forth my general feelings towards ROS, what it does well and what can be improved. I will also at some point dive into Rust and take a look at how it can help robotics and IoT move forward. I may decide to talk about politics or cooking but that will depends how bold I’m feeling.

For now this is enough for a first post. It is probably the most boring and least read so who cares, right? Asshole.

Next up will be fixing this theme to actually look good…
