A journey, with a road bike, on a summer day through an obscure local village

A tale of sweet watermelons

I've worked as an engineer in an automotive factory.

Learn Emacs and stop complaining now, you're a pro!

In summery rivers / The kids are swimming / Their naked asses / The moonlight gently kissing.

I've studied the effects of electromagnetic fields on patients with carotid stent implants during my PhD.

I like to develop software projects in computer-speak and not through endless plans, meetings, chit-chats and documents expressed in non-formal languages.

Replacing Lisp's beautiful parentheses with dozens of special tools and languages, none powerful enough to conquer the whole software landscape, leads to fragmentation and extra effort from everyone, vendors and developers alike.

Then why is not everybody using it?

Software teams that have not mastered the technical language invent their own observer language together with the adoption of legions of tools and procesess

A generic distinction between the style and motivations behind big, corporation-like software teams and small, independent ones
