The most important details

Hey, I'm Andreas! If you're reading this, you're probably looking for some fresh insights on software development, programming or perhaps a few Linux tricks that will make you more productive while working at your comptuter.

I get it — there are a million tech blogs out there, but let me try to explain why you should stick around and explore mine.

I'm a 31-year-old lead developer and architect over at AURA. My job involves solving business problems by building robust systems that save time and eliminate the tedious tasks that nobody likes to do (like the one you should probably be doing right now). I dive deep into the nitty-gritty, but also keep it practical. So if you're tired of cookie-cutter advice and want something with real-world application, this is the place to be.

This blog will include my personal takes and approaches to real problems I've faced, solutions I have built, lessons I've learned and the frustrations (and incidental triumphs) along the way. If you're into Linux, software, the occasional hot-take or just want to be a better developer while avoiding the nonsense in a world sprawling with AI-slop, you've come to the right place.

But hey, I'm also human. So when I am not designing systems or arguing with a computer, pipeline or service why it doesn't want to work today you might find me

Running through the forest like I am training for a race (which I might be)

Climbing rocks, because who doesn't like pretending to be Spider-Man

At the gym throwing dumbbells like I'm starring in a Rocky montage

Sipping some freshly brewed coffee, attempting to be a real connoisseur

Building mechanical keybaords because nothing else feels quite right

Shooting with my analog camera, when pixels just don't cut it

So, why read my blog? Because I don't just talk about theory, I share how I tackle real world challenges, which will hopefully be useful to you as well.
