Hi! I’m Artëm.
I’m passionate about computers, arts, and writing. I live in (occasionally) sunny Philadelphia with my wife and son.
On this website, I rant about programming and share my notes on macOS automation, personal productivity systems, and pop culture. In case you’re looking for a place to start, my most popular post is “The Language of Programming”. Or you can just play tetris.
