+					Hello, I’m Mark. Currently in my masters of computer science at ETH
 					Zurich. I like to code a lot. You’ll never see me without tons of projects
 					on the side. I have too many projects I wanna do, but not enough time to
 					work on them all. Friends usually ask “What projects are you working on?”
-					instead of “How’s studying going?”

-					Languages I consider myself fluent in are Python, C and Typescript. I like
-					to create bare metal and fast applications with C but I also enjoy working
-					on cool websites with React.js on Typescript. Docker and Kubernetes also
-					feel fairly familiar. I usually try to deploy all my applications with a
-					Dockerfile or docker-compose file so that I can then easily deploy it on
-					my Kubernetes cluster. Also makes it a lot easier for anyone to run it on
-					different devices.
+					My pool of goto-languages consists of Python, C, Golang, and Typescript.
+					If I have to get something done quickly, those are the languages I use.
+					On the other hand though, I'm a huge fan of discovering new cool languages
+					and libraries that are a bit under the radar like Zig, Nix, or htmx.

-					Lately, I've been getting into lightweight website building using HTMX.
-					The result can be seen on this blog or in the relevant repo visible
+					My mentality is, that if I need something that doesn't exist, I have enough experience
+					to create it myself. This ranges from creating my own scripts for things I find annoying on websites to
+					creating applications I can host on my home server.

+					On my home server I went for a slightly overkill Kubernetes server running via ArgoCD.
+					It allows me to keep all my deployments neatly organized. Similar to my laptop NixOS install.

+					This blog is also one of my projects to create a lightweight website using htmx.
