The STAF conference is quite unique among software-related conferences.

Although I still consider this blog a newborn (and it has been a quiet place in recent months) the main purpose of this space is to share my opinions and thoughts on many topics, including technology and my own research, but not only those.

This is my attempt to contribute to the April’s Cool, where instead of posting a prank-like post, some people decided to post something cool (obviously) that is unusual for the blog’s current content.

Why did I decide to create and try to maintain a (mainly tech) blog in 2026?

Since I returned to academia after working in the software industry to pursue my PhD, I have learned a lot.

This is the first post and its here just to test if everything is working fine.
