This is going to happen for real! I already reached out to some amazing researchers and I started to read some papers. Also, I found an amazing name for the podcast (the hardest part... 😂 )!
So, few more things to iron out, but get ready because it will be amazing! 🚀

If you are a researcher and would like to participate, either write a comment here or send me a DM. Otherwise, please help me share this or tag someone that could be interested.

Thank you! ❤️

The goal is to make academic knowledge more accessible to anyone and to give visibility to the researcher and the work they are doing.

The format will be an interview focused on a paper that is representative of the work conducted by the researcher. We will go through it together explaining and discussing it. I don't have a preference on the topic, anything works. Duration about 30 minutes (ideally).

I am going to start a new podcast project, and I am looking for researchers (in academia or industry) that are doing research in any Computer Science "branch".

Happy to share that I have been promoted to Senior Engineer! 🎉

Fun fact: this is the first promotion of my life.

Yeah, love to chat with people and do my best to help them! 😄

In my career I worked with: Java, Scala, Python, Go. Also a bit of Haskell, but not much.

Which language I should learn next? And why?

TIL: Postgres tables have inheritance. 🤯

How cool is that?

The Value of Journaling I started to journal my work day some months ago, and I can say that it has proven quite valuable to me. Let's see why I think it can benefit anyone and how I do it.

Some thoughts about the benefits of journaling at work!

Migrating to Bear Blog Few thoughts on blogging, writing, the internet and why I migrated to Bear Blog.

After way too much time, I decided to refresh my blog and migrate it to the Bear Blog platform. Why? The details in a new blog post, of course!

From time to time we hear that someone is a "force multiplier". But what is a "force multiplier"?

Wrong answers only.

That’s a wrap!

A nice addition to my library. Hopefully I will be able to go through it fully… 😁

That’s fine. :)
I bought it in the end, I was missing a DB book in my bookshelf.

Is the book good? I see it is on discount at Springer!

A lot of 💩 on Netflix for the issues with the streaming of the live event, but folks, there were like 60 million users watching at the same time… Customers had all the rights to be upset, but anyway kudos to @netflixeng.bsky.social. 🫡

I love chatting with folks, though it's sometimes hard to find time. I have also been wanting to do something even more broadly impactful.

So I'm trying something new: if you donate to one of these education charities, I will go out of my way to speak with you.

I kind of miss the days when I was coding with a programming language and enjoying it. The language itself, few libraries, and that's it.
Now we have much more libraries/frameworks/abstractions, and it is great. Everything feels "magic".
But I had much more fun before... Is it just me?
