Hi! I’m Andri. I will write about all sorts of tech. Then I might complain about things that I think should be fixed.

During the day, I work as a Tech Lead at PARKPARK. Opinions are my own

Is it readable because you’ve made it simple. Or is it readable because you wrote it?

Joel Spolsky on C: "I'm a big fan of C β€” but I think nobody should ever code anything in C.Β It's simply not possible to use C safely."

I became ill yesterday (nothing serious) and when I had watched all the TV i could stomach I read the ActivtiyPub spec. I'm starting to see a lot of potential in it.

Anyway; If you're making the next Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You'd do yourself a service in reading it.

RT @soniagupta504@twitter.com: I always liked that lawyers and doctors "practice law" and "practice medicine."

I like to think I "practice development."

Are you a programmer that struggles with imposter-syndrome?
- In a field this broad, everyone is an imposter in some way
- Own it and keep learning. Nobody knows everything.
