Øystein Hagen Blixhavn is passionate about getting stuff done, in basically all senses of the words. If it reduces wasteful effort and time, fantastic. If it improves the developer experience and increases their flow, amazing! This aspiration has led him to roles as system- and platform architect and platform developer, because these roles are directly concerned with increasing rate of stuff getting done.
Learning stuff and gaining cool insights is another thing that drives him, and his talks always seek to stimulate curiosity and induce this feeling in the audience.
