Would squashing be lying at this point?

<p><em>TL;DR Above everything, I'm a lurker. And I mean that in the traditional forum/mailing list sense. You could put it a few ways and still be right: a reader, a people watcher, a listener, maybe a coward if you're cynical. But all in all, not anyone in particular really.</em></p>
<p>When I first came up with a writing a page with this title, it devolved into a kind of personal essay. The kind of unwelcome nonsense you no doubt encounter (and I no doubt supplied) in comment sections on the Internet or the paginated newsfeeds written by faceless names or in the rambling profiles that start with birth and forget where they're going around college. It seems to come easy to a lot of us.</p>
<p>Now, I'm not so sure I've earned the right yet.</p>
-<p>I'd rather just let my work (and my play) stand for itself, for whatever it's worth. You'll get it as you go I'm sure. That said, there are some things that probably help for context's sake: - I'm born, raised, and hosted on the US East Coast. By most countries' standards, that means I have no sense of the world outside of my own country, which despite my best efforts, is probably true - I'm raised and hosted (not born) on free software (unless you count whatever my VPS is running). This server is running OpenBSD with nginx and httpd working together to host a small git repo and this flask app I threw together - I'm born and raised (not hosted) by Luddites, for the most part. And I don't mean that in entirely bad way. What I mean is I grew up around mostly people who didn't know and didn't care to know about advances in technology or the merging of that technology with culture. In fact, that might be the appropriate view to have in light of recent circumstances. - By trade, I'm best at data recovery and writing good documentation. I'm self-taught at programming software design so by most metrics, I'm probably not great at that, but I'm getting there. I love a good math problem, and though I only got a B in my college circuits class, I still find time to make some lights blink. - I spend a lot of time on the Internet lost. And in the process, sometimes find useful things; though I largely find nonsense, which has it's own value, but it's separate.</p>
