About Me

Synopsis

Jesse Gibson - American computer programmer.

Company

I am on the CoScreen team at Datadog.

Social

Whenever tradeoffs are reasonable I prefer Free and Open Source Software over major tech products. These choices are reflected by my on-line presence. You won't find me on Twitter or Facebook.

social

I like the smaller neighborhood feel of the Fediverse. I post infrequently on Mastodon and Pixelfed. A little on Bluesky too, but it hasn't stuck.

messaging

Matrix is an open standard for real-time encrypted chat. My address is @psychollama271:matrix.org.

software

Strong network effects keep me on GitHub. Most projects are under @PsychoLlama.

weblog

Long-form posts about software live on my blog, Asap's Fables.

Interests

CRDTs, Peer-to-Peer systems, WebRTC, Nix, Nushell, CLI tools (see recommendations), and writing the occasional Neovim plugin. Sometimes Stockholm Syndrome from a career in JavaScript drives interest in web development too.

When I'm not writing software, I enjoy science fiction, exploring cities, COD, playing guitar, and thinking about writing more software.
