Linus Norton
- Software engineer aspiring to achieve simplicity in work and life.
- Tunbridge Wells, England, GB
My passions are programming, software development and building products that have a positive social impact. I spend most my time developing with PHP, Java and JavaScript but I also have an interest in Python and Haskell. I enjoy setting up a well run software development process based around unit testing, continuous integration and continuous deployment.
At some point in my life I hope to help create something that is of true benefit to society. I would like to be in a position where I can pass on my knowledge of, and attitude to development.

Prefix free: Break free from CSS vendor prefix hell!

Rowan Manning - Quite cool, It'd be great if tools like LESS/SASS did have this built in too! At the moment, I manually write mixins for this stuff.
