It is true – this blog looks boring. There aren’t any images in the front page; posts only have images when necessary, normally to illustrate a point, or when it’s a photo gallery post (those are still to come!). The background is dark which some people might find depressing – […]

Later this month, I’ll be turning 28. It’s strange to think now that I had started learning English when I was 8 – this means that was 20 years ago. A fifth of a century. It makes me feel… Old. See, at this point in my life I am at […]

I have certainly not abandoned this blog – it’s just that the first months of 2023 were absolutely crazy to me. And in my absence, it seems like ChatGPT is the thing that everyone is talking about now. ChatGPT was released in November 2022, and it quickly has become part […]

Ah yes, FAANG. Not long ago, the end goal of a programmer’s career was to work at FAANG. They had the best salaries possible, all the perks, all the ball pools, cool loopy sliders instead of boring stairs, and free food at the cafeteria. They have basically set the bar […]
