Hi, I am Insane. Insanelogs - Log of insane Main website: https://www.insanelogs.xyz Blog website: https://blog.insanelogs.xyz My objective with InsaneLogs is to share knowledge and quick tutorials across different domains of computer science that I learn every day — in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. The goal is to help you get started with a topic quickly, and then dive deeper on your own. I believe it’s always better to have something working or functional first, before reading a ton of theory about it!
