Blog
Previously I only used to have a simple portfolio website at this place. But in my day to day work I figured that I actually get in touch with a lot of awesome technology and daily I discover something interesting that is worth writing about to help others in the same situation. This is what this blog will be about. I’ll share my knowledge, give hints on problems related to programming and operating a modern software and tell my opinion on programming styles and recent debates.
