ancos2505/README.md

ancos2505

  • Rust Developer -- correctness, performance, deterministic execution.
  • RISC-V Hobbyist -- using binutils only: LLVM-free, POSIX-free, bloat-free.
  • Security Enthusiast -- hacking with precision, not patches.
  • Bare-Hands Hacker -- no third-party tooling. Full mastery. Full clarity.
  • Chess Student -- discipline, foresight, and elegance.
  • ASCII Aesthete -- elegance and sophistication in simplicity. One byte per char.

ORIGINS

  • First touched a computer at 12 y.o. -- IBM PC 286 running DOS.
  • OpenBSD -- One of the best efforts for OS security. A masterpiece in minimalism and correctness.
  • Major milestone: HTTP/1.0 server written from RFC in Rust, single-threaded, no external crates, no LLM -- pure human craftsmanship.

MUSIC

  • Blues Harmonica hobbyist.
  • Deep House, Liquid Drum & Bass, and Jazz, 12-bar Blues.

RETRO GAMING DNA

  • Power Blade 2 -- Master of adaptability. Specific armor for specific challenges.
  • Mega Man 2 -- Precision and rhythm.
  • Contra -- Reflexes and grit.
  • Chess -- The ultimate battle of minds.

LIFE-CHANGING READINGS

  • Nand to Tetris -- From gates to greatness.
  • Assembly Language Step-by-Step (Linux) -- Helped understand the stack and the heap; transformed me into a guy who does a lot of plumbing work in systems programming.
  • Reflections on Trusting Trust - Ken Thompson's timeless warning. A foundational influence. if you don't control every byte, your system might already be compromised.
  • HTTP/1.0 RFC -- Studied, implemented solo in Rust.

SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE INFLUENCES

  • Zen of Python -- Readability counts. Simple is better than complex.
  • 12 Factor App -- Clean boundaries. Portability. Scalability.
  • Elm Compiler Dev Experience -- Error messages as a developer tool.
  • Model View Presenter (MVP) -- Clear separation of concerns.
  • Elm Architecture (Model, View, Update) -- Pure functions. Immutable state.
  • Conway's Law -- "Any system reflects the communication structure of the organization that built it."

    Design mirrors organization. Simplicity outside requires simplicity inside.

LANGUAGE REFLECTIONS

  • English: fully ASCII -- clean, portable.
  • Rust: Its type system could be the next human-machine interface for AI.
    It allows expressing multi-paradigm abstractions with compile-time guarantees.
    The compiler becomes a collaborative partner, not just an error checker.
  • RISC-V RV32I: Simplicity by design. Possibly one of the best ISAs for humans to code
    bare-metal software. Minimal, orthogonal, elegant. Friendly to minds and machines alike.

PHILOSOPHY

  • "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -- Leonardo da Vinci
  • "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -- Albert Einstein
  • "Own every bit. Master every byte. Keep on moving."
  • "Do more with less."
  • There's no free lunch. Not even for AI.
  • Free spirit. Live and let live.

AXIOM

"If I didn't write it, I verify it. If I can't verify it, I rewrite it."
