I'm coko 👋

A french developer who’s passionate about programming and open-source.

I spend most of my time in the terminal and rely on a variety of command-line tools to help me on my day job: neovim, tmux, fzf, sed, rg, jq, git, curl, xh, ssh, and many more…

I also like DevOps: managing my home lab(s), deploying things with Docker, etc.

Sometimes, I write stuff on my blog: The Terminal Yard (tty)

fd .git --type dir --hidden $HOME/projects

find projects -type d

👒 vegapull/ One Piece TCG data scraper

I co-host a podcast called Terminal Tuesday with Orhun Parmaksız (ratatui btw), where we invite fellow terminal nerds to talk about their projects and setup.

We've had the chance to discuss with a lot of brilliant people all around the world about various topics relating to the terminal space.

I like to try writing existing stuff from scratch.

It's a great way to learn how things work.

❌ DO NOT USE the following projects in production apps ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

💀 http-rs/ Raw-dogging TCP sockets to make an HTTP/1.1 server

🔐 huco705-rs/ Rust rewrite of my old huco705 cipher algorithm

✨ base64-rs/ b64 (en|de)coder from scratch

🧩 sudoku-rs/ Sudoku library from scratch (generator/checker/solver)

All RTFW projects: github.com/rtfw-rs

gh --stats --user=$(whoami)

I push my code to GitHub for simplicity. However, I also self-host my own instance of Forgejo: git.lazyfreax.dev

I use it mainly to mirror my GitHub projects.

The reason?

Well, you never know what Microsoft is up so it's good to have a backup plan just in case 👀

Keyboards

I started using ergonomic keyboards in 2024 and haven't looked back ever since. A year after, I discovered Ergo-L and decided to adopt it as my daily layout.

I have had 3 different ergo keyboards in total:

★ sofle/ QMK config for my first ergo keyboard (58 keys)

★ crkbd/ Vial config for my previous wired Corne (46 keys)

★ zmk-config/ ZMK config for my newest wireless Corne Pro (36 keys)

More about my current keyboard at coko7/zmk-config

I have always loved drawing (on paper or w/ Gimp) and writing.

Even before falling in love with programming, I was scribbling characters on my notebooks and writing manga.

For more than 10 years, I have been building my own fantasy worlds and stories. And recently, I decided to put all of them in a wiki of Markdown files, which I edit with Obsidian.

The graph below is a recent snapshot of the entire wiki. The nodes represent characters, species, locations, organizations, etc.

The wiki is private and I don't really plan on opening it anytime soon.
I am just happy writing and drawing for myself ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
