Craftsmanship

Behold, a brand new website!

A new website, the being of many things.
It’s a new beginning.
It’s a new way of writing, sharing and expressing myself.
It’s a new exploration of tech.

Have you heard people saying things like…

• “We need to ship the feature by the end of this sprint.”
• “The client just saw the latest version and they need the copy changed immediately.”
• “We should first focus on the next release, we’ll discuss the DB design in a later stage.”

These are all normal, expected and common phrases. We hear them all the time.

Simple is… very hard.

Did you ever stare at your screen and wonder: “How did we get to this level of WTFs/minute?”

Maybe it’s even a regular event for you.

A few months ago, I started learning a new programming language: Golang.

Yes, the language with the weird creature mascot.

And everything was uncomfortable.
How do I do the most basic things?

Many developers I’ve met love optimizing their workflow. So do I.

It just feels great to discover an efficient approach to a problem you’ve been faced with daily for a long time.
To find that new shortcut that now saves you 3 clicks and moving your arm to that mouse and back to the keyboard.

“I almost got it! Surely if I fix this one error, the damn thing will work! Right? …Right?”

Creative solutions for analytical problems

So often, coding problems require the creative side of our minds.
