Hi I'm Myk Bilokonsky and welcome to my home on the internet. This
is a work in progress. (My home in meatspace is in New York City,
where I make my living as a software engineer. It is, I suppose,
also a work in progress!)
Socially, you can find me on
the bird site, or
on
my mastodon instance. I do have a facebook account but I generally only friend folks I
know in person. If we've met feel free to find me there.
Professionally, I take pride in the lessons I've published on
Egghead.io, and a few of the projects littering up my
github profile.
If you'd like to work with me, I've got a
resume here that
outlines my skills and values.
This place is a place of intention and slowness.
Be at ease.
SOME THOUGHTS
-
Identity is weird, right? "I seem to be a verb" and all that, but
also, like, my behavior on a given day is as much a function of
the state of my gut biome as it is anything else. My gut bacteria
make decisions for me; my culture makes decisions for me; why do
we privilege a specific point along what seems to be a spectrum?
-
"Reality Tunnels" are a crazy powerful ontological tool. I will
eventually insist that you read Robert Anton Wilson's essay about
them,
Creative Agnosticism, so you might as well just get it over with now. It means so
much to me it's the only external work I'm linking here. (I'm
working on
my own essays
about them, too, but RAW is canon here.)
-
I'm on the autism spectrum and I do a lot of outreach these days
to try to find and identify undiagnosed autistic people. I've
created
AutismTranslated
to create a space where autistic adults can talk about their
experience from a subjective perspective, and my twitter account
is particularly active in this space!
