Christopher Drum @christopherdrum

Computing since the TRS-80; addicted since the Amiga 1000.

A software engineer by day, in my personal projects I gravitate toward "less capable" systems (especially the Pico-8) to escape the complex hellscape of modern software development and remind me of what I love about writing software.

Mostly I enjoy dissecting and reimplementing software that had some kind of cultural impact to see how it works.

Play Zork (and more!) on your Pico-8
