Hello! I'm Omar. I've been interested in new computer interfaces and new ways of programming (aren't these the same thing?). I've worked at Dynamicland (check out ⭐ Geokit), at Stripe, and at Khan Academy.

Rather than using a callback function to swing at every event that shows up, we use higher-level operators to manipulate a whole stream

of events at once.

NOTES FROM DYNAMICLAND: GEOKIT Notes from Dynamicland: Geokit. August 6, 2018. Hey ___, I know you've been curious about some of the stuff I've done at Dynamicland. It might be a while until you can make it out here and visit in person, so I'll try to explain one project of mine, Geokit, from top to bottom, to give you some of the flavor.

I also tweet a lot about computers these days, on topics including: * programming environments as culture * getting functionality 'for free'

from

the architecture of the computer system * how end-user programming can simplify & improve

systems,

empower users, remove the need for 'configuration'

* against

separating

'content' and 'presentation' / what does "serving a function"

really mean?

* the role of dread

in computing

* how we should lean into existing user 'folk practices' like taking

photos , taking

screenshots ,

and using hacked-together spreadsheets * knowledge (of programming, of reading and writing, etc) as something that exists in a community

, not a

property of one person's head * how materials and tractability end up silently guiding what people

do

* speculation on how software could have more physicality

, spatiality (1

, 2

, etc), life
