Last week I decided to ditch NixOS, as it was getting in the way of my work. I’ve setup a Fedora based distribution called Bluefin, which went smoothly but has taken some getting used to. There are things that have been great, and some not so much, mainly due to the desktop environment, which I’ll need to resolve.

18 months on NixOS… and I’m done. I’m moving to Bluefin. I loved the idea of NixOS, a declarative, reproducible, git tracked OS.

K3S is a lightweight version of Kubernetes and is used for running on resource constrained environments.

In this post, I’ve tried to outline the purpose of building an online presence and personal brand. My goals are to grow my brand as a Software and DevOps engineer, but that doesn’t preclude this being used for any other type of career, digital or otherwise.

CQRS can help you break up your solutions into logical parts that reduce the contextual burden, making your software more understandable and your job easier.

I’ve been using vim for close to 10 years, in various forms, vim, nvim, vscode extensions.

After 14 years as a software developer, I still wasn’t a true touch typist, I would hen-peck my way through my work, I managed but it was not optimal.
