Two Years Later
Short hindsight on the technical blogs I have published in the last two years
Two years ago, I published my first technical blog.
Back then, my career was on cruise control while I was leading an IT project, I was in a complacent period, and everything was under control. Nevertheless, I felt something was missing; I was doing more of the same. I lacked the enthusiasm I had had until a few months back.
I have never felt such fatigue before; it was totally unfamiliar. Instead of dwelling on this unsatisfying situation, I stopped to think of what can help me fill in the void.
In the beginning, I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for, but I figured out the general direction: a new technology realm.
It perfectly fit my role as a technical manager. The amplitude of topics I was handling ranged from business aspects to designing technical solutions, so I decided to find the spark in the technical domains. Throughout my career, I’ve been learning new technologies and experienced them; however, this time, I decided to challenge myself and share my experience publicly.
That was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone, and that’s how the first blog-post emerged.
So, two years later, and over 50K readers, here is the list of my technical blog-posts so far.
