My 2022 setup

You know the drill… new year, new setup. Not entirely true, I don’t plan on switching my setup every single year, but I made some changes this year that are worth mentioning. You can read my 2021 setup post here. The main thing I started to miss in 2021 after I built my powerful Hackintosh...
A special word from me for you:

PHP, CodeIgniter, Laravel, Vue, React, front-end… or how I changed my stack over the course of time

Also: Keep up to date with the fast-paced changing scenery of the tech world. Back in 2012 when I got my first programming job right after I graduated high school, I did not have any experience with PHP frameworks, I’ve mainly used plain old PHP for my freelance websites and the only thing closer to...

Whittier, Alaska

Do you know those Facebook posts and pages that randomly appear in your feed and you get some real facts? I did not follow any of them, but Facebook seems to know that I like those and randomly shows me those kinds of posts from time to time. A normal human being would read the...

On the 2nd of December I finally decided to make a major upgrade to the device I am working on so I decided to get a Macbook M1 Max, the top configuration with 64GB of RAM and 2TB storage. The problem is that in Romania you only have two options if you want to configure...

3 months as a front-end developer only

It’s been 3 (almost 4) months now since I moved on to my next contract and it’s been quite a nice ride until now. I noticed that even though I planned on writing more stuff on this blog, I’ve been kind of inactive and I hate that. So here I am making a retrospective of...

I will start streaming and live coding this week

I have been watching a ton of live coding lately and I really think it is something powerful and nice of other developers. Then, I saw this tweet by Florin Pop: I don't care when people say that coding streams will never be as big as gaming streams. You might be right, BUT, I'm going...

Accused of shoplifting!

One of the things that annoy me the most is when we visit a shop, no matter if it’s big or a smaller neighborhood one, it that anyone is suspected of being a shoplifter. Have you ever experienced this: you visit a small shop, maybe one in your neighborhood… and exactly where you’re looking for...
