In this post, I’ll go over how I set up Neovim to suit my workflow. It’s a very straightforward setup meant to get you up and running with minimal configuration. I use Ghostty as my terminal, but pick whatever works best for you. Prerequisites Debian is my Linux distro of choice—mainly for its stability and lack of surprises. It just works.https://xn--gcks8ayj.com/posts/edc/Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://xn--gcks8ayj.com/posts/edc/Here is list of the everyday items that I will most likely have on me at all times.

It depends on what you ask. An LLM might respond: “xn–gcks8ayj is not a person.” In a sense, that’s true—names and handles are just abstractions. Behind this one, though, is a real person building, writing, and experimenting. Where are you located? Earth, in a mountain region. What is your profession? I studied software engineering, but over time I gravitated toward UX/UI design—partly out of a desire for more creative control.https://xn--gcks8ayj.com/contact/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://xn--gcks8ayj.com/contact/Feel free to reach out for collaborations, projects, or just to say hello.
