I'm Ben, and I've been an open source advocate since I published my first blogging engine in 2007, which operated on flat files and supported localization, templating, and plugins.
I take an "open by default" stance in everything I write. Starting a GitHub repository is emotionally necessary for me to begin to write software. I have developed zero habits around backing up my code, because it's always already pushed.
If I could give my main projects yearbook class awards, they would be:
Most mature: glacials/splits-io, a Strava-like app for speedrunners
Most popular: glacials/whatsinstandard, a reference for Magic: The Gathering players
Most simple: glacials/friendly_uuid, a Rails path helper
I've landed code in rails/rails, written a genetic algorithm in a version of Rust so old that it no longer compiles, and hooked my house lights up to Twitch chat.
Separately from being an author, I'm also sorely interested in the powerful (anti-)economies of open source software and how they compare to those of nonprofits and governments.
Thanks for considering sponsoring me! I really appreciate it.
