i made ZPY, a so-called “pandemic project”, so i could play tractor with my friends and/or learn UI dev. later it turned out i didn’t have many friends who played tractor. it also turned out someone else was implementing a tractor, but their implementation did not have the aesthetic delight that comes with using the messenger v1 emoji set as iconography.

what it says on the tin. a marvel of social engineering in that a bunch of folks were convinced to use a text-based interface inside of Discord.

i worked on HHVM at facebook for years and years and even started as an intern on its precursor, HPHP. surely at some point i contributed something of value?

a li’l Vimscript package i whipped up over the weekend as a facebook intern. as i understand it, it remained the vim bundle of choice for JSX for years until it fell into disrepair, since during all that time i had never written a line of JSX not solely to test syntax highlighting. probably my most useful open source contribution, even though it’s deprecated. not all software needs to last forever.

this is a trash project i phoned in when taking CS 187: Computational Linguistics at the ‘vard senior year. however, it produces very pretty LaTeX documents. we love those <3. it even handles head movement?! this was from the era before modern neural nets, cut me some slack.

possibly the most documented config files on the face of the earth. i earnestly think it’s a good starting point for people configuring all their widgets for the first time.
