Hi! I'm prk3 and this is my personal blog, where every now and then I will be posting my discoveries, experiences and thoughts. Although I work mostly with Javascript and Typescript, you can expect articles about other interesting technologies, like C++ and Rust. Stay tuned!
Oops, I almost forgot. This is a static blog! If you want to contact me or start a discussion, please create a GitHub issue.
