Hey there! I'm Aien, and this is my website!
Aien is a software engineer, full-stack developer, and software architect. Passionate about Node.js, TypeScript, and Golang, sharing insights on web development and software architecture at aien.me.
You might be wondering, "Why does this website look like it's straight outta 1999?" Well, let me tell you why I've chosen to rock this retro style:
- Win98 Nostalgia: I'm a big fan of the internet from the 90s and early 2000s...
- Keep It Simple, Surfer: Modern websites can be overwhelming...
- Nostalgia Overload: Every time I look at this page...
- No Frills, Just Content: Unlike modern websites...
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this blast from the past. Who knows, you might even hear the sweet sound of a dial-up connection if you listen closely enough! 😉
