Yes, another software engineer with a blog. Well, why would I start a blog when there are already so many others covering the same topics? Why am I special? I’m not. I just want to talk about my profession. I don’t expect anyone to care enough to even read my posts. In fact, my posts will probably include some unpopular opinions (or at least what I think are unpopular), but they’re still my opinions.
What I Will Talk About?
I’ll mainly share my opinions and the way I do things. My posts aren’t meant to be educational. I don’t have the credentials to teach and I’m not trying to. I don’t plan to dive into the basics, but honestly, I’m not entirely sure where to start either. So let’s make it interesting. If you’d like me to start with a series about the basics of Go, you can leave a comment on my LinkedIn post where I share the link to this post.
I’ll probably talk about Go the most, since it’s the language I have the most experience with. But I’ve recently started learning Rust and really started to enjoy it, so there will probably be some posts about my journey with Rust as well. Or who knows where life will take me? I’m not making any promises about the topics. We’ll just see where the adventure leads.
How Did I Start?
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a police officer when I grew up. But my uncle, a software developer, practically raised me. I was constantly surrounded by his stories about programming and the work he did. At first, I couldn’t get enough of them, and soon I found myself wanting to try it out. He gave me a little guidance and that was enough to spark my interest.
By the time I began thinking seriously about my future, the choice was obvious. I wanted to become a software engineer. I studied Computer Engineering at university and followed the path into software engineering.
