Hi! I'm Amos Wenger, better known as fasterthanlime.

I spend most of my time writing in-depth articles, making videos, and co-hosting the self-directed research podcast.

Before I did this, I worked at companies including itch.io, netlify, and fly.io.

In a previous life, I worked on cool stuff like an MP3 decoder in the browser (that was before emscripten), the itch.io desktop app (it used to work!), I even made my own programming language, ooc way back when.

In my current life, I still work on cool stuff, like series about:

• Reading files the hard way
• Building a Rust service with nix

And also videos like:

• Let's make an htop-like in your browser (with Rust)
• strace feels like magic — let's fix that (with Rust)
