Learn something new every day
All posts about how to learn, how to find resources, recommendations, etc…
Today I learned how to sell on Amazon. And eBay too! This has been a long journey that started pre-COVID and continues to sell even today. At most, it shows that the one skill you ever need- is to know how to learn. I started with zero knowledge in selling so literally everyone can. In…
Today I learned how to release a new version for dev testing faster. By leveraging external tools, and installing in-cluster components you can enhance your dev cycle, deploy new versions at the speed of light, and, eventually, bring new features in less time. Usually, the development cycle consists of shorter and longer cycles. You start…
Today I learned why and how to go generate. A small replacement for makefile I already wrote of. But what are the differences? Why use it, and also important- when not to. And a little more technical information you might need. As part of developing an actual project, you sometimes need to generate files. You…
Today I learned about monkey patching. Sounds wired, right? I’ll explain what that means. Talk about some use cases with examples in Go. And align with best practices when using this. Bonus- the funniest software license I have ever seen. So as the title spoils, the main topic here is testing. Or more specifically- Unit…

Does it really lightning fast? Before we talk about bloom filter, let’s talk about why you should be familiar with it. Consider yourself developing a backend that should support…
Today I learned about Inter-Process-Communication. Although it sounds trivial to transfer data between different processes. It is actually quite complex.
Today I learned how to make information find me. Instead of investing time looking for a new framework or where to learn a cool tool – you can sit back and wait for it to come. Similarly to sports- I’d also recommend you to find a small slot every day and learn a small thing,…
Today I learned Go. Sound too simple? it actually is! Go was first presented in 2014, pretty new compared to the other popular programming languages like Python (first release in 1991, v3.0 in 2008), C (1972), C++ (1985), and java (1995). The main reason was to create a programming language that will be as easy…
The time is mid-2020, not only that we start to have Corinavirous everywhere, I got the 2nd most terrifying news people can get – “You are getting fired!”. This was half a year after moving from a network analyst position to a DevOps position. At first, I knew that this is not the end of…
