    That makes sense from a SaaS business owner because security and privacy are a part of software business. However, I didn't specifically talk about software business. A medical doc…

    I think it's much better to become rich and then buy security and privacy than to implement them with your manual labor. Your time is a lot more valuable than your money if you act…

    Don't obsess with security and privacy unless they are your core business

    Making a simple sandwich from ingredients is a full-time job that takes roughly 6 months. You grow chickens, fetch sea water, make bread from ingredients, and so on. Unless you sel…

    Programming language agnosticism is the only way to move forward in life

    I'm not going to speak about specific languages because they will distract readers. What I discovered over years is that I should just use the right tools for each job. Trying to u…

    Still, I wouldn't tell COBOL programmers to maybe ditch COBOL and write another language. They chose it over other languages for their own reasons. It's okay to mention rust or any…

    Language Evangelism Is Annoying

    A rust evangelist, who has a clojure job with some rust coding on the side, came to clojure community and couldn't stop mentioning Rust to me in clojure community. I told him to st…

    Compilation is not just about optimization. It gives you flexibility and robustness. Compilation options let you tweak programs. In my direct experiences, gentoo source packages br…

    The official and semi-official overlays are reviewed, but third party overlays aren't. Each third party overlay is maintained by one person, so you have to trust the person behind …

    Most advanced users don't really care much about latest compiler optimizations. I don't. I think linus torvalds still just runs GNOME or KDE on fedora. Linus doesn't care about com…

    AUR is not your repository. I have my own overlay where I am the king. I want to be the boss of my own things. Waiting for permission to take over maintenance of an abandoned AUR p…

    AUR is one repository where you can't just update an outdated package maintained by someone else who quietly gave up maintenance. I have my own gentoo overlay where I have complete…

    Nowadays, you can get binary packages from gentoo linux if you don't change USE flags. You don't even have to compile linux kernel anymore. Gentoo Linux has overlays. You can compi…

    The choice of tools depends on what you want to write. For some applications, react/node makes more sense. For some applications, .net/angular makes more sense. For some applicatio…

    Don't obsess with any programming langauge, dynamic typing, or static typing.
