Hey! I’m Thomas Hartmann, a software developer and speaker currently living in Oslo.
I created this blog because I wanted to be able to share my thoughts on a variety of topics related to development and needed somewhere I could do it in long form. Expect posts on keyboard layouts, functional programming, type systems, Emacs, Nix(OS), git, Rust, and more. Whenever I climb out of a rabbit hole, I should have some interesting words to put on this page.
As the saying goes, if at least one person takes something positive away from this blog, then I have succeeded.
About me
Software development is a large topic and I can hardly call myself an expert on any one aspect of it, but I like to think that I make up for it with abundant curiosity and a decent understanding of some core principles. Besides programming languages, paradigms, and concepts, I have also gotten a taste for infrastructure, and, IRL, keyboards. In fact, I’ve probably taken that one a bit too far, both switching up my layouts and migrating to the split keyboard worl– … huh? Yeah, okay; I’ll try and rein it in a bit.
Naturally, I also have (some) interests outside of software: most notably, I’m big into exercise and operate as a LesMills group fitness instructor, but I’m also a musician and an avid gamer—if you wanna trade some Pocket Monsters: hmu.
About the blog
This blog is built with Hakyll and ample help from various other blogs with a similar setup. You can find the source code on GitLab if you wanna steal some tricks or just have a little gander. Expect intermittent and inconsequential updates.
