About
My name is Sufyaan. I love everything to do with computing, from SBCs like Raspberry Pis to programming. In particular, I know Python the best, but enjoy the C programming language. I also write shell scripts to automate various parts of my life.
I believe that C is the best first programming language because it teaches you defensive coding and how a computer thinks. I am going to branch out into C++ after being proficient in C.
I follow the UNIX philosophy in my projects. Simpler code makes extending functionality and debugging easier. I release all my code under the GPLv3 licence to contribute to the world.
I tend to use my computer more than my phone, because work is more efficient and easier on a PC. I use my phone to message close friends and family on WhatsApp. I do not have any productivity apps on my phone except a calendar, Anki and Termux. To sync my contacts and calendar, I used Decsync
I use the Nothing Phone (1). Its performance is fast, and its battery life is great! It used to drain quickly, until they addressed the issue in various updates. I use the Personal profile for open-source apps, and Work profile for most close-sourced apps. This helps compartmentalize tracking done by close-sourced apps.
I tend to avoid products and services from big corporations. This is because of the invasive tracking, data collection and centralization. I still use some of their products purely out of necessity, but I limit the usage as much as I can.
My preferred way of communication is email. However, it is incredibly insecure. Therefore, I request you to encrypt your emails with me.
My email is sf@sufyaan.me [public key].
