I love solving problems; this can range from simple (brain) puzzles to complex infrastructural issues. I aim for several things when writing code: Effectiveness (it should work), reliability/robustness (should not break easily, especially if there is user interaction), efficiency (should work with least amount of effort, both on user side and on processing power side), reusability (I prefer to make a generic function that can be reused in several cases), flexibility (should be easy to expand/modify) and portability (`it works on my machine` should not be a valid excuse). ©
