Hi there, I'm Ezhik. I'm a software developer in Tokyo doing the usual stuff (Python/TypeScript/a little Rust). I came across this place after binging through the SandPond Saga, which really reminded me of how much I miss creative coding and of how much I enjoy sand and computers (which are just thinking sand). I really want to do more HCI stuff (particularly end-user programming and local-first software), so I've been messing around with breaking into it by looking at old Mac OS X development tutorials, reading up on research by groups like Ink & Switch, and making silly little prototypes. You can find me on Mastodon at https://mastodon.social/@Ezhik if you want to chat more. As a welcome offering please accept this cellular automata demo I made a few years back: https://ezhik.me/beyond184/ P.S. @Rafał Pastuszak that is a wonderful hedgehog.
