About
Welcome to the personal website of Brett Gilio. I am a programmer and researcher in compiler construction, formal methods, constructive mathematics, type theory, category theory, and intuitionistic logic. I am also passionate about software freedom, functional programming, deterministic software, type safety, and enthusiastically opposing framework-driven programming.
In addition to mathematics and computer science, I have formal education or extensive personal study in both analytic and continental philosophy, as well as political philosophy, biological sciences, musicology, music theory, history and philosophy of science, and performance art.
My blog will feature a wide-variety of topics, from my personal computing habits, ruminating thoughts on mathematics and computer science, as well as the occassional post from the other topics I have mentioned above.

Mathematics and ComputationA few ways to make money in FOSS
I work on free and open-source software full time, and I make a comfortable living doing it. And I don’t half-ass it: 100% of my code is free and open-source. There’s no proprietary add-ons, no periodic code dumps, just 100% bona-fide free and open source software. Others have often sought my advice — how can they, too, make a living doing open source? Well, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. There are many varieties of software, each with different needs, and many kinds of people, each with differen…
