About kigster

I have been a well-behaved hacker since 1987, when I first coded a keyboard-based drawing program on black and white graphical terminals in the USSR. These days I work on AI-first projects, architecture, hardware, databases, high performance and large scale, and am currently working in my spare time on https://qualified.at and https://app.gomoku.games

Checkout my code at https://github.com/kigster read my blog at http://kig.re/ or https://reinvent.one and finally http://x.com/kig

    > Will Ruby make a comeback? I don't know, but I certainly hope so. I started building web apps in Rails in 2007 and rode the wave till 2020, when I joined a company that ran on Ty…
