Hi. Manuel from France here.

⚠️ 🚧 About this GitHub: The reason I've set up this GitHub account is just for showcasing some of my work to potential employers ;) And, even though I plan to open source some of these works eventually, please don't use these sources as they currently stand, since they're still just a bit more than "walking skeletons" 😛

Intuitively I have been thinking that it does, but maybe it is counterintuitive.
• anyway. I've been working professionally with Java, and I enjoy its readability and solidity. My quest for the "perfect eco friendly language" has been broad, but in the end I came back to Java, as it seems resources friendly enough to me :p

• TDD =>

• Writing background batches / stored SQL procedures can be a nice experience too, sometimes :D

• mindfulness meditation / trying to practice mindfulness
• video games (RPG, Turn based strategy...)
• quite a bit of Slay The Spire...
