@lyse There – kind of – is a story.
I sometimes write x86_64 assembler just for fun. It’s rare, but it happens. In 2019, I had quite a bit of wrist issues, so I couldn’t type a lot. I still went to work, so, well, I still had to type a couple of hours every day (which is *a lot*, if you think about it).
During that time, I had a little pet project where I wrote a simple grep in asm:
https://uninformativ.de/git/grep.asm
Skim through the code and you’ll already see a ton of movq instructions. It’s a very basic and common instruction.
The punchline is: I wasn’t really able to finish this project (due to those wrist issues), but I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally wanted to. So I put the keyboard on the floor and wrote like 50% of that code using my feet. Yes, you read that correctly. 🥴 Yes, I am crazy. And this somehow got stuck in my head. movq movq movq movq movq movqmovqmoqvmom … I was quite literally dancing it. 🥴 💃 When I got fed up with my previous nick name, I searched for a new one for quite a while, but couldn’t find anything good. So I just chose movq, because it was floating around in my head anyway (and I already had the domain). 🤷

@movq Oh mate, what an absolute great story indeed! You are truely insane! :-D You went completely nuts back then, but I love it. I really do. That's some real dedication. I never tried to type with my feet but I'm pretty sure I would always hit multiple keys at once. Aiming at the right key just seems to hard with the toes. So glad I asked. Never imagined such a bloody amazing background! :-) I hope your wrist issues are under control now!
@lyse 🤣 Wo ein Wille, da ein Weg …
Yeah, everything’s fine now, but I am very careful these days and I pay close attention to what my body is telling me … It’s managable. 👌
