Marcel needed a bio for a non-programming-related web site and through some combination of sarcastic IM messages, I ended up writing one for him.
I like the idea of friends writing bios for each other. Even if they’re not going to be used. Here’s the one I wrote for Marcel:
Marcel happens to be a person who writes computer programs for a living. He also happens to be a member of the core team of developers who bring us the open source Ruby on Rails web application framework. But to identify him by these things would be wrong. Marcel is an explorer. You might call him a professional learner with a focus in computer programming.
You can follow Marcel in his journey by trying to guess which links, quotes, videos, and pictures on http://project.ioni.st were posted by him. You might get it wrong, but that’s OK. To most of you, Marcel will remain what you make of him. He’s OK with that if you are.
