Open-source enthusiast, advocate and developer. PHP programmer and follower. Interested in low-level programming. C++ and Rust lover. Having Git and Linux vital organs. Shell addict. Active on Git*b. And finally... thirsty for team work. :)

A developer wanting (maybe trying?) to shift his focus to open-source. The title may shout at you: "I want my bucket to be empty"! No, it's lying. Look at Red Hat and Nextcloud. Even without them, there's a huge hidden opportunity in open-source.

In my ideal world, all of science and all technologies are open. By keeping things closed, most likely it is you (being a person or a group) that matter the most. In an open environment, however, you think further: Advancing the world as a whole is much more important.

I tend to use PHP a lot. It has a great ecosystem. Breaking changes are minimal, not even in the language itself, but in the libraries as well. Not even that means the language is holding back, but it looks shinier with each release. Composer is fundamentally better and faster than anything else I tried. And so on... (oh, did I mention its good performance?)

Living without Linux for me is like living with one hand (well, the remaining one is, obviously, Git). Well, I have to mention I use Fedora Linux, and I love it: Stability while being up-to-date. I've been running it for nearly three years without even thinking a re-installation is needed.

Last but not least, I'm proudly an Iranian and a Muslim. I'm also interested in Islamic topics, especially Islamic philosophy.

• What are the things I refuse to work with and why?

  Windows first and foremost. Privacy matters.

  NVIDIA next. Please don't ask an obvious question. ;)
