Machine Lines

Some things you should know

• My name is Mike
• I know very little about anything (but I’m working on it)
• As a programmer, I spend most of my time writing pieces of text which solve problems
  • Although the problems are often caused by other pieces of text, which were often also written by me

Some things I’ve worked on

• Julia, a fast programming language
• Rel, a datalog with probabilistic programming
• Flux and Zygote, machine learning systems
• Juno, a live-coding IDE (now Julia VS Code)
• Miscellaneous open-source projects
