I tried to summarize some of my Recurse Center activities for the last 12 weeks in a blog post and still probably forgot some stuff because it was jam packed with amazing people, pairing, projects, and study groups.

tl;dr - I did lots of stuff, really enjoyed my time, and plan to continue learning and growing

Starting 3d print of enneper surface created with Houdini - hope it works :) It seems like it sliced ok.

I made a couple of them dance in codepen as well https://codepen.io/fractalkitty/live/EaxQwWx

If you want to try - here is the obj model (no guarantee it will work): https://assets.codepen.io/4559259/enneper.obj

A print has started

divergent boundaries sketch for today's creative coding group at the RC.

I started with the thought of an ocean floor splitting - a divergent boundary.

Today - I started working on a game called Lost Signal as part of a recurse center game jam.

It will mostly be a short story - but I hope to do it with html/css only

I hope to have it done tomorrow - we'll see :)

New post on the blog about generative texture hats (one of my recurse center projects)

I got accepted to the Recurse Center, a programmer retreat!! So happy to have the chance to grow and learn alongside other smart, kind, motivated devs.

Will be going to the US for ~3 months early next year in the NYC area! Can't wait!!

Hey folks, I'm a #SoftwareEngineer and #founder from #Dublin, living in #NYC after a decade in #SF.

I work on @darklang, trying to fix everything that's wrong with #coding (and keep everything that's right!). See https://hachyderm.io/@paulbiggar/109383110124404403 for updates.

Previously I made #CircleCI, was at #RecurseCenter, and did a #phd in #Compilers and #StaticAnalysis. Big fan of pastries, chocolate and ice cream, also history.
