Writing

Technical substance. No corporate fluff.

I publish daily on LinkedIn — series on tools, patterns, performance, and the demoscene. Each post is backed by data or decades of hands-on experience.

Active Series

Monday

◆ The Unix Way

FreeBSD vs. Linux solutions. Both sides benefit from the comparison. pf vs nftables, ZFS snapshots, service management.

Tuesday

✦ Technical Beauty

Celebrating elegant tools. SQLite, Git, nginx, curl, WireGuard, ZFS — software that earns its place through decades of stability.

Wednesday

▣ Stack Patterns

Problem, pattern, code. Practical solutions in CSS, HTML, Rust, and full-stack development. Copy-paste ready, tested.

Thursday

© The Copy Cat

Patterns that worked in Context A, blindly copied to Context B. MVC for everything, unit tests as dogma, Agile estimation theatre.

Friday

☆ The Invoice

What you buy vs. what you actually pay. The hidden costs of microservices, Kubernetes, npm, serverless, Docker, and Scrum.

Saturday

⚠ Beta Stories

Software decay under the microscope. Electron bloat, forced updates, feature creep, enshittification. Data-driven, not polemic.

Sunday

Performance-Fresser

Root-cause analysis of performance killers. npm, React Virtual DOM, CSS-in-JS, Docker overhead, Webpack, JavaScript bloat.

Bi-weekly

✧ Bytes of Art

The demoscene as cultural heritage. 4K intros, cracktros, tracker music. Extreme constraint as art form.

Bi-weekly

⚔ Divide et Impera

Critical analysis of development paradigms. Agile as hostile takeover, team autonomy as balkanisation. Systematic, not polemic.
