Writing is an underrated skill, and any intellectual worker is required to write.

A recent hiring process required me to write down a debugging story that included application code and infrastructure.

I was reading the other day a nice blogpost by Matthew Garret (mjg59) about being able to use SSH keys to sign Git commits.

As perks of the job, I tend to find myself having to maintain old code bases with many outdated dependencies.

Project management is a basic necessity of developing software (and things that are not software).

I have seen a rise in the number of opinionated tools present in the common mindspace in the last decade.

We started a book club at work at the end of 2020 and the first book we went over was the extremely famous Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler.

This blog is now hosted in srht.site.

I try to keep track of improvements in the projects I depend on the most, and sometimes I even track their development with the hopes of being able to contribute something back.

Using Emacs, you eventually need to learn Emacs Lisp (elisp) as everything is written in that language.

I recently read Scott Berkun’s, “The year without pants”.

October 6 - 7th 2020, originally in San Francisco (via Zoom).

Last June it made the fourth year I’ve been using Emacs, so I felt it worth going a bit down memory lane.
