  21. we are to believe MBTI tests, Vesa is an <a href="http://fuzzy.snakeden.org/intj/">
  22. INTJ</a>. He has been like that probably since late 1978-1979, because,
  23. according to some sources, it takes 2-3 years to develop the basic temperament.
  24. Previously he saw himself mostly as a &quot;builder of systems&quot; and
  25. &quot;applier of theoretical models&quot;, but nowadays he is beginning to see
  26. the &quot;mastermind&quot; aspect of his personality. As a
  27. &quot;Free-Thinker&quot;, his mind hardly ever rests.</p>
  28. <p>Vesa enjoys healthy and sustainable ways of life. He is a vegetarian and likes
  29. cooking. Exercise is a daily part of his life - he needs to be in good shape in
  30. order to sit all day in work. He likes going to the gym, swimming, spinning,
  31. running, roller skating, etc... He also practices dancing.</p>
  32. <p>For the past years, he has been working in a small <a hreF="http://www.housemarque.com">
  33. company</a> that develops console games. His role is the development of
  34. software technology, such as class libraries, frameworks and tools, for making
  35. games. He doesn't see himself as a game or a graphics programmer, although he
  36. has been involved in quite a few such projects. For the past few years, most of
  37. his programming has been in C++, but recently he has also enjoyed writing some
  38. Ocaml.</p>
  39. <p>He likes buying technical books using the company credit card, but lately he
  40. hasn't had the time to read as much as he would like (hopefully this changes
  41. soon). He likes reading (a lot) computer science and software engineering, but
  42. also psychology, philosophy and various self-help books, because he knows that
  43. all the really hard problems are social - not technical. Fantasy is also close
  44. to his heart.</p>
  45. <p>Vesa is a bit ambivalent about his university studies. He is a self-educated
  46. programmer and has experience ranging from bit twiddling to generative
  47. programming and also leading of small teams. Like many of his close colleagues,
  48. he sees that the depth of computer science education, at least in Finland, is,
  49. frankly, insufficient. He'll probably complete his studies some day, because
  50. sadly most people respect authority by rank, title or publication far more than
  51. he does.</p>
  52. <p>Vesa is an eXtreme Programmer. He has found out that in order for pair
  53. programming to work, both pairs must share a similar level of experience and
  54. must be both willing and able to externalize their thoughts. If he is sometimes
  55. forced to stop refactoring, he'll probably quit his job. He thinks that
  56. optimization, including improving readability and simplifying structure, is the
  57. root of all fun in programming. He dislikes writing documentation and reports
  58. that are never read.</p>
  59. <p>One of his friends coerced him to use the image that you see on this page. The
  60. image was scanned from a rather worn out picture taken by an ex-girlfriend and
  61. is probably the only picture of Vesa having his natural smile. Vesa is neither
  62. married nor engaged, but just recently he met a very nice girl... While
  63. programming is interesting and fun, it is love that really makes him happy. ;)</p>
