|
|
|
-probably since late 1978-1979, because, according to some sources, it takes 2-3
|
|
|
-years to develop the basic temperament. Previously he saw himself mostly as a

-"builder of systems" and "applier of theoretical models", but nowadays he is

|
|
|
-<p>Vesa enjoys healthy and sustainable ways of life. He is a vegetarian and
|
|
|
-likes cooking. Exercise is a daily part of his life - he needs to be in good
|
|
|
-shape in order to sit all day in work. He likes going to the gym, swimming,
|
|
|
-spinning, running, roller skating, etc... He also practices dancing.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>For the past years, he has been working in a small
|
|
|
-<a hreF="http://www.housemarque.com">company</a> that develops console games.
|
|
|
-His role is the development of software technology, such as class libraries,
|
|
|
-frameworks and tools, for making games. He doesn't see himself as a game or a
|
|
|
-graphics programmer, although he has been involved in quite a few such projects.
|
|
|
-For the past few years, most of his programming has been in C++, but recently he
|
|
|
-has also enjoyed writing some Ocaml.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>He likes buying technical books using the company credit card, but lately he
|
|
|
-hasn't had the time to read as much as he would like (hopefully this changes
|
|
|
-soon). He likes reading (a lot) computer science and software engineering, but
|
|
|
-also psychology, philosophy and various self-help books, because he knows that
|
|
|
-all the really hard problems are social - not technical. Fantasy is also close
|
|
|
-to his heart.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Vesa is a bit ambivalent about his university studies. He is a self-educated
|
|
|
-programmer and has experience ranging from bit twiddling to generative
|
|
|
-programming and also leading of small teams. Like many of his close colleagues,
|
|
|
-he sees that the depth of computer science education, at least in Finland, is,
|
|
|
-frankly, insufficient. He'll probably complete his studies some day, because
|
|
|
-sadly most people respect authority by rank, title or publication far more than
|
|
|
-he does.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Vesa is an eXtreme Programmer. He has found out that in order for pair
|
|
|
-programming to work, both pairs must share a similar level of experience and
|
|
|
-must be both willing and able to externalize their thoughts. If he is sometimes
|
|
|
-forced to stop refactoring, he'll probably quit his job. He thinks that
|
|
|
-optimization, including improving readability and simplifying structure, is the
|
|
|
-root of all fun in programming. He dislikes writing documentation and reports
|
|
|
-that are never read.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>One of his friends coerced him to use the image that you see on this page.
|
|
|
-The image was scanned from a rather worn out picture taken by an ex-girlfriend
|
|
|
-and is probably the only picture of Vesa having his natural smile. Vesa is
|
|
|
-neither married nor engaged, but just recently he met a very nice girl... While
|
|
|
-programming is interesting and fun, it is love that really makes him happy. ;)</p>
