Dusting off the old blog

The astute reader might have noticed that this blog only has a handful of entries, with a pretty sizeable between the first and the rest. The reason is that, as I was attempting once more to write down some of my thoughts, experiences, opinions, I actually found the repo for one of my former attempts at doing so, presumably during the 2020 lockdown. I managed to salvage a single post from there, sending the rest to the scrap pile for reasons of really poor writing on topics that I’d like to revisit.

One of the drives behind this new attempt is addressing impostor syndrome. Forcing myself to write what I consider “normal techy stuff” is making me face the reality that I’m actually pretty good at my job. On the flip side, I also want to show that the things I’m being asked to look into usually don’t require expertise as much as tooling, perseverance and curiosity.

I shall try to do regular updates, but am not making any promises.
