Go developer, came up through C#/.NET. I build small libraries, terminal tools, and a pile of games and simulations — most shipping through my own Homebrew tap, a couple as web apps.
Built using the require edges between my Go modules:

The TUIs are built on Bubble Tea; the games and sims run on Ebitengine. Most CLIs install from my Homebrew tap:
brew install danielriddell21/tap/<tool>unum and fiat-lux also run as web apps at riddellious.dev, whose infrastructure I keep as Terraform in riddellious-dev.
