About

Eric Li; I'm currently a student at Texas A&M University. I love building software that's fast and accessible. I also believe that we can and should always strive to make our software this way. Hopefully, this helps me create tools that make people's lives easier.

I'm always impressed at how software can accelerate human progress. I love thinking about how software can complement everything from math to philosophy. Basically I like making old things more ergonomic, and hopefully one day replacing them.

To preface this, Joel Spolsky has some famous beliefs about rewriting software, and I (with much less experience than him) generally agree. However, I also think we can do better; probably not in the same codebase but de novo. Interfaces will inevitably be reimagined as we find new solutions. Linear replaced Jira. Figma replaced Sketch. The next generation is being built, and I want to be a part of it.

Otherwise, when I'm not coding, I love cooking, reading, and staying active through soccer and rock climbing. I also keep a list of helpful links for tools and resources I find useful.
