Hello World

My name is Sergey, and I am a web developer originally from Minsk, Belarus (at the time of writing located at Warsaw, Poland). Growing up, I was always really interested in technology and the internet. I made my first commercial website in 2008 when I was 12 (a page for rent of kids masquerade costumes, if you were wondering).

hi

Over the years, I have dabbled in web development as a hobby, making some poorly designed websites and writing some pretty awful code. Regardless the fact that I received not one, three fully formal developer education from best technical universities around the world, there were a few things that I didn’t know, and I didn’t know that I didn’t know them. As an example, I only discovered CSS pre-processors about a year ago, and it has literally transformed my workflow since!

Nowadays, I have improved a lot in my skill. I’m plugged in to as many designer and hacker news outlets as I can to make sure that I’m doing things right. Even so, there are still things that I don’t know. Whether that is due to the ever changing nature of the industry, or the fact that I more and more trying to educate myself without any outside help, I am constantly learning new things to improve my craft. And I can’t be the only one.

So I have decided to start this blog, “simplex code” (no, it is not because simple code already were taken), where I share my ever growing knowledge about software development and life as a developer in our rapidly changing world. Particularly little simple code snippets that, as a developer, you could get away with not writing, but you should. Or things that you may be writing but don’t really understand why. I’m sure there will be things I just learn that pretty much all developers already know about, but I guess I have accepted that I might look stupid!

As I am currently a full stack developer, most of my posts will be related to those areas. However, I am aiming to fulfil my potential in order to find an use for my Master Degree in Neural Networks (things are that ML and AI around every corner nowadays). I hope to do one of those AI-Cup challenges at some point during the year.

A Credit

I was inspired to start this blog by John Sonmez, particularly by his book “Soft Skills: The Software Developer’s Life Manual“. If you are a developer and haven’t read it already, go do this now!

My First Website

The design is actually not awful (it is)! But the page make-up…

So many things. Not showing code tho…because…because it is NDA between me and child’s lack of professionalism

I hope you enjoyed my first post.
