“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” –Gustav Mahler

I like computer programming and the boring tech.

After > 20 years of software engineering I moved along towards the dark side working as a software architect careerwise. What I like about it is, that I can still work on complex problems and avoid riding the weekly coding hypetrain. It’s a reliever fiddling with stuff I feel passionate about rather then to focus on non-sense just to keep the resume relevant.
