                <description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been tinkering with making website since I had an internet connexion, but I switched to full-time dev only recently. Before that I was more on track to do computations in civil, thermal and energy engineering. I was studying and doing research in the early 2000&#039;s, exactly when computer simulations were booming. Computations that used to take weeks were done in seconds, precision scale exploded. For engineers it felt like software was eating their craft and that juniors would never learn the...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[My timeline has something a bit nostalgic, to say the least. Old-timers rave about the days of reading niche blogs, finding strange communities, surfing from obscure link to obscure link until you stumble upon a gem. This has sadly recently peaked with &#039;s post, but the feeling was there everywhere. It seems like the core, the underground, is gone. Is it AI? Is it social media? Is it the world going mad? Dunno. What I do know, though, is that it strangely reminds me of a vibe I’ve gone through a ...]]></description>

                <title>The one question that made me turn down a job offer</title>

                <description><![CDATA[Last month, I went through a full interview process for a tech lead role. It went well — I liked the team and product, and they seemed to like me — until the very last minute in the CTO interview. One question completely threw me off balance: I was so unsettled that the rest of the interview was an absolute mess. I more or less dodged questions. Something in me just didn’t want to answer that question. It felt wrong. The whole process was most likely screwed at that point anyway, but that interv...]]></description>
