Software guy (mainly focusing on Elixir, and... Bash?? and now LuaJIT and Zig?? Perhaps Lean 4 or Idris 2 next?), gamer (board/card/PC/console), philosopher, technologist, former Psych major @ Cornell, sailor, swimmer, biker, scuba diver, music lover (electronica, funk, classical, metal), sometime-partier, philogynist, USAF veteran, and fan of Apple, Tesla, NixOS, open-source, AI, and startups. And that's sort of just the beginning... my mind is fairly voracious. I lean liberal and libertarian, although I love debating anything controversial. Not particularly religious, and on the free will question I am a "metaphysical libertarian incompatibilist."

Physical location: NYC environs

I decided to switch to this more public account from my old alias here, which as of today (2/3/2016) is 2000 days old with 1369 karma.

I am @pmarreck on X/Twitter, https://www.linkedin.com/in/petermarreck/ on linkedin, github.com/pmarreck, peter@marreck.com, you can pattern-match the rest... my first and last names are basically a natural primary key, unfortunately
