I thought it would be interesting, at least for me, to tell my journey with computers and in particular programming. It's a good exercise in retro- and introspection.

The Internet is full of wonderful things. I get to share some stuff via Twitter, but there is a level of temporal fleetingness about tweets that I was never satisfied with. And I'm not even yet talking about availability, long-term archiving, etc.

With this in mind, I decided to use my blog and to create a separate section where I'll publish a monthly curated list of interesting links called The Cache. My intention is to be somewhat selective and not overextend the list. Probably, for now, aiming for about 5 links. For the most part, the links will correspond to things discovered throughout the month of publication.

At the beginning of November 2020, I started a new job 🎉. This was great, mainly because in mid April I was indefinitely furloughed in my previous company, and that didn't change until the last day. Being furloughed wasn't that bad, I still had a state supported salary equivalent (slightly better) to unemployment benefit, and I kinda got to have an extended parental leave with my almost 1-year-old son. Moreover, this allowed my wife to make good strides on her own career.

After a long hiatus (where I had a son, went through a pandemic [which is still going], and changed job), I plan to restart my blog.
