Let's start with an introduction.
Hi, I'm Stefan, also known online as DoubleThePsycho. (Why? Because I'm twice as psycho as a regular psycho!)
I'm a 27-year-old developer, tinkerer, chaos-organizer, and extremely stubborn problem solver from Norway.
First impression quote? "Definitely unstable, but probably useful."
I started messing with web development when I was around 17, learning HTML from my friend Foxxite, and from there I fell into the deep end of websites, forums, themes, addons, automation, and eventually full-on software projects.
My first big web obsession was XenForo. I started learning how it worked, how to customize it, how to rewrite parts of it, and how to manage communities built on it. XenForo is still my favorite forum software, mostly because it hits that sweet spot between structure, flexibility, and "I can probably bend this into doing whatever cursed thing I want."
Over time, my interests grew beyond websites. These days I spend a lot of time building tools, scripts, and automation systems, especially in PowerShell, Python, and C#. I like making things that solve annoying problems, remove repetition, or turn messy workflows into something I can actually control.
A lot of my projects come from the same place: I see a problem, I get annoyed enough, and then I start building a system around it.
That has led me into things like:
- advanced PowerShell scripting and module development
- automation workflows for files, folders, backups, and media
- C#/.NET application development
- Python scripting and CLI tools
- website theming and forum customization
- working with databases like PostgreSQL and SQLite
- experimenting with AI-assisted development
- using multiple AI tools together as coding agents
- designing project structures that survive my rewrite-everything impulse
- homelabs and the dangers of diving an impulsive dipshit SSH and sudo
How the chaos gets organized.
A suspicious amount of my time goes into building, breaking, rewriting, and improving projects. Some days that means websites; other days it's PowerShell scripts, C# apps, databases, file workflows, self-hosted tools, or trying to make several AI coding agents cooperate without setting the entire project on fire.
I use AI heavily as part of that workflow, but not in the "press button, receive app" way. It's more like having a chaotic little development council: ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, local models, and whatever other tool is useful at the time. I use them to review code, stress-test ideas, generate alternatives, document decisions, and catch the sort of mistakes that become obvious approximately five seconds after I push something.
The fun part for me is still figuring out how the pieces fit together. AI can type quickly; I still want to understand the system, decide what belongs where, and be able to fix it when one clever shortcut inevitably turns into tomorrow's problem.
I'm not really interested in clean, corporate perfection. I like systems with personality: useful, slightly over-engineered, a bit unhinged, but still built with intent.
What do you do when you're not fighting computers?
Not everything I do has to become a project, although I have a truly terrible habit of trying to turn hobbies into systems anyway.
I'm a furry, a brony, and generally very comfortable being a nerd about whatever catches my attention. I like fandoms that leave room for creativity, customization, dumb jokes, and people being unapologetically weird. If that sounds cringe, excellent — we've established the filtering system works.
Gaming eats a respectable chunk of my free time too, especially Minecraft, Factorio, and emulated games. Unsurprisingly, I tend to gravitate toward games that let me build, optimize, customize, automate, or get stubbornly good at one incredibly specific thing for no defensible reason.
Also, yes: I love weed. Getting high is one of my favorite ways to make the part of my brain that treats every minor inconvenience like an engineering ticket finally shut up for a while. Put on some music or YouTube, maybe start a game, and let the system idle without immediately designing a monitoring dashboard for it.
Otherwise I'm usually listening to music, watching YouTube, daydreaming, talking absolute nonsense with friends, or mentally designing something I may or may not ever build.
My sleep schedule is also less of a "schedule" and more of a cryptid sighting, so depending on the day I may either be awake at completely normal hours or operating on some cursed timezone known only to me and probably a few raccoons.
