What I read over the past year
Sharing the list of books I read over the year and what I took away from them.
Personal blog
On development. And everything else.
Lately I have been working with AI a lot, and in one of the tools I kept hitting the limits. So I took a look at the stats. Well: 10 billion tokens, and almost a billion a day at the peak. Looks like I am up to something.
The tech stack I use in 2026
I started putting my stack together back in 2007. Here is what I actually work with in 2026, and why the choice is what it is.
How we built a lottery back in 2018
One day I came across a project online that I liked, and I suggested to my friends and buddies (who also happened to be my colleagues) that we launch “the same thing”. What came of it and what conclusions I drew, I tried to describe in detail and in an interesting way.
The AI tools I use in 2026
I got to test the most popular AI platforms and their various models, both for work and for personal use. In the end, I singled out two favorites for myself.
The story of one bug, or the classic “works on my machine”. Everything is fine locally, CI is green, the containers on the server are fresh, and yet every now and then the error I had already fixed shows up again. Four hours of searching and a very simple and funny answer.
My view of what is happening to the IT job market in 2026. We will look back at how we got here, assess the current situation, and I will try to give a forecast for the coming years (spoiler: I am not the most accurate forecaster).
Welcome
It only took me 20 years in IT to finally start a blog. Sharing my experience in development and startups, and sometimes just life.
