As a minimalist, I believe in living simply and coding simple functional tools with no unnecessary complexity.
Let's do things with purpose and integrity. Money is nice but it's not everything...
I studied science some time ago, then spent 10+ years traveling the world. Eventually got into coding because I wanted to build stuff on Ethereum, mainly because cutting out middlemen just makes sense.
These days I'm building little tools to interact with the blockchain. Art blocks live script generator, staking interfaces, vault tools, that kind of thing. Nothing fancy, just functional apps that do what they need to do.
I keep everything vanilla, no frameworks, no build tools unless absolutely necessary. Just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, pushed to IPFS. Simpler to maintain, easier to understand, and honestly more fun to work with.
ChatGPT came out a few months after I started learning, which basically saved me from drowning in Stack Overflow. Still learning every day and would love to make coding my main thing eventually.
My approach? No fluff, no unnecessary complexity, just things that work and hopefully help people out.
Still traveling around whenever I can. Outside of coding, you'll find me cooking, watching movies and chilling with friends and family.
