benhoyt/README.md

I'm Ben Hoyt, an experienced software developer from Christchurch, New Zealand. I'm also a unicyclist and love spoonerisms (ask me about Prinderella and the Cince).

I love writing readable Go and Python code, and I'm currently working on GoAWK, my AWK interpreter with CSV support (written in Go). I also do a fair bit of technical writing over on my website.

I dabble in other open source projects, with small submissions to the Go programming language, and a minor but heavily-used addition to Python a number of years ago -- the os.scandir() function, which sped up os.walk() by 2-10x.

If you use my projects or enjoy my writing, I'd love for you to sponsor me to help my personal projects stay well-maintained and to keep me motivated! Even a coffee's worth is a nice perk. Thanks! :-)
