Stefan Kanev
Stefan has been programming for as long as he can remember. Among his favorite things are Ruby, Vim, Rust, TypeScript, automated testing, Apple products and all sorts of exotic programming languages. In his busy time he programs on Rails, and in his spare time he writes a lot of code, which he then deletes. He also tries not to injure himself with his mountain bike. He doesn't like PHP at all and is ambivalent about Java.
