About this episode
Today we're talking to Linus Lee about the practice of building software for yourself. Linus has several side projects we could talk about, but today's show is focused on Linus' dynamically typed functional programming language called Ink that he used to write his full text personal search engine called Monocle.
Linus is focused on writing software that solves his own needs, all of which is open source, to help him learn more deeply and organize the knowledge of his life.
