In this age of cloud platforms, Internet of Things and SaaS products that are easy to integrate with, the effort of automating parts of your life is shrinking down substantially with every year that goes by.

One of the most used caching schemes is Least Recently Used (LRU).

Over the years, people involved in computer science and engineering have worked really hard on optimisations of various natures.

You can spend quite a bit of your programming career without working with trees, or just by simply avoiding them if you don’t understand them (which is what I had been doing for a while).

Looking at any programming language you will (hopefully!

If you come from an object-oriented background, you might have tried concurrency in your favourite OO language before.

Being new to Elixir and Phoenix, I spend quite some time in the projects' documentation.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of years, you probably know what two-factor authentication (2FA) is.

In a previous post1, we took a look at linked lists and how we can apply them in a hypothetical use-case.

Data structures and algorithms are the bread and butter of computer science.

If you have ever tried writing a daemon for MacOS you have met with launchd.

Recently, while writing a small Golang program for setting reminders I came across a small confusion that I guess most newcomers to Golang will have - how to organise a package in a way that will enable it to cleanly contain two or more binaries.

Idempotency is an often used term in computer science.

Nowadays, having an API on top of your application is considered common.

Have you ever found yourself publishing an API, either an internal or a public one?

REST as a concept was introduced by Roy Fielding in his doctoral thesis, named Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures.

The web, as we all know, is driven by APIs.

Starting a greenfield application everyday is nearly impossible, especially in your daily job.

Recently, I have been building an API as part of my day job.

Object-oriented programming and design is (or, was?

Most of us use Git on a daily basis.

I don’t think that at this point Rubygems needs any introduction.

Imagine you just woke up, took a shower and you immediately go to your coffee machine to make that strong, large, morning, double-shot, extra-spice-and-everything-nice cup of coffee.

We’ve all been at this point where we have bloated our classes with primitive values all over the place.

Indexes in relational databases are a very imporatant feature, that reduce the cost of our lookup queries.

We have all heard about indexes.

Reactive Programming is a very interesting programming paradigm that I started pondering with last week, which ended up in an article on this blog.

Reactive Programming is a relatively new and interesting programming paradigm that has picked up quite a bit of popularity lately.

Recently I started tackling refactoring in Ruby with my blog posts.

In the last couple of years, we have seen a lot of development in the devops field.
