**Why Venomade?**
> **“Venomade”** comes from [a song I quite like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCNa2JzsVKU).
> I picked it because it rolls off the tongue easily enough, it’s not entirely unique but it’s still memorable, and most importantly it's *`.com`* domain was available.
**Which programming languages do you use?**
> I started programming in **Javascipt** and **Python** at school. I then discovered **Go** in 2018 and it quickly became my favourite programming language. Learning Go inspired me to work with **C**. In order to program more efficiently in C, I studied **Haskell**, which flowed nicely into programming **Rust**.
>
> Nowadays however, I prefer to stick with **C** because it's where I feel most comfortable, though I have been enjoying **Lua** as of late.
**What Music do you listen to?**
> I listen to quite a wide range of genres so instead, here are some artists I particularly like:
>
> - Tatsuro Yamashita
> - Masayoshi T akanaka
> - Night Tapes
> - modest by default
> - Hallowed
> - Буерак
> - Источник
> - Terno Rei
> - Tim Maia
> - Legião Urbana
>
> I have purchased albums from most of the above artists and keep lossless digital copies in my collection. I do not stream music.
**What setup do you use?**
> I used to use a T440P but the battery life and power consumption along with the lackluster performance unfortunately became too much of a burden to bare in 2025 so I finally upgraded and picked up a Macbook. I still maintain the T440P was however, the last truly great laptop. No matter how amazing Apple Silicon is, there is nothing that hurts me more than glue and solder.
>
> **Hardware:**
> - Macbook Pro
> - M1 (8 core CPU + 8 core GPU)
> - 16GB Ram
> - 1440p Screen
> - 512GB SSD
> - Touchbar™
> - Feker Alice 80 Keyboard
> - Deft Pro Trackball Mouse
>
> **Software:**
> - MacOS
> - Kitty
> - Emacs
> - Orion
**Can I copy your configs?**
> Sure! You can find my current dotfiles here:
> [dotfiles](https://git.venomade.com/dotfiles)
>
> I also have an archive of my old dotfiles here:
> [dotfiles-archive](https://git.venomade.com/dotfiles-archive)
**Why does your website look so ~old/ugly~ cool/fashionable?**
> While I enjoyed writing my old website in pure HTML, it made it quite cumbersome to update. I wanted something that was easier to update but I didn't want to make JS a hard requirement so this iteration of the site is generated by Hugo.
>
> Like my old site, It keeps most of it's advantages over modern websites:
> - It uses no JavaScript
> - Loads superfast (even on dial-up)
> - Can display fully almost anywhere!
>
> but now also:
> - Generates HTML from Markdown
> - Doesn't bug out
> - Supports both **English** and **Português**
