About

Wubba Lubba dub-dub - I'm Kushagra, `kush1jpeg` in the parts of the internet that matter. Say my name three times and I'll appear in front of you explaining why Arch is the only right choice u'll ever make and why you should be using Neovim (I'm still learning both, but the conviction is unwavering).

I'm a third-year CS student who fell down the rabbit hole of systems programming and everything that lives close to the metal makes my platonic mind erupt: kernels, compilers(will_build.future_inPain), linux-ricing, systems, but still, am not him.

My current, is backend engineering and distributed systems. I find this stuff genuinely beautiful in a way I can't fully explain to people who haven't felt it, ofcourse not at par with the low level stuff: but definitely serves as a more socially acceptable replacement to it /ifykyk

To maintain some illusion of employability (and a little sanity for the people around me) i have to get my hands dirty inside dumbo-abstracted languages for web dev and insert buzzword framework in the resume. Yes, I know AI is coming for my job. I just hope it takes me out quickly. Camus

Philosophically speaking- i really hate that ubermensch dream , of a certain guy with the big mustache :> trying to follow Camus' absurd way of living — "Life is meaningless"

Not only i follow Camus' ideology, like him - I drink more coffee than is medically advisable with a death-stick in one hand. The aim is to become a hybrid athelete or as the saying goes-

"OUTrun the runners,
OUTlift the lifters,
OUTdrink the drinkers"
If you made it this far, congratulations - You now know more about me than my extended family. For everything else -
