I like computers and design.
Computers more than design though. Right now I’m working on backend systems at foodpanda. Outside work, I build mini tools that makes my life a tad bit easier. I also enjoy reading a lot, currently reading "The Unicorn Project".

Why does Go not have a framework?
This was something that I've been asking myself while migrating the backend system for TaskSnipe, from Javascript (Which i now realised was a bad idea cause it made me just want to get things working) to Go, initially I thought that Javascript was just the easiest way to go around it, I can just get features working without caring too much about the lower-level structure of backend.
