it's been some months now that I have been using the Logictech MX Keys keyboard. I wanted to give it some time but the fact that some of my friends bought it as well and they are also satisfied, validates the fact that it deserves a good review. For my day to day work, I have been using a Topre- Realforce mechanical …

It is almost a month now that I wanted to write this short review, for Container Security by Liz Rice, one of the most concise tech books I have read recently.

I keep spending some of my free time playing around with Slack and specifically Slack bots. More to come on future posts but for now I can tell that I am amazed by the quality of the Slack Java SDK called Bolt.

I remember the old days when I used to collect HD wallpapers. Spending hours and hours on different sites (do you remember devianart), trying to find stuff that I like and making sure this wallpapers folder was always backed-up. I had multiple copies of it on CDs and then DVDs and then somewhere online. It is kind of …

As a mac user and active developer I use a lot of package managers, update managers etc. Most of the people would be familiar with things like: homebrew sdkman (for JVM developers) If you happen to be like me and use Terraform, then I have only nice things to say about tfenv.

Αναρωτιέμαι πολλές φορές αν ο κόσμος συνεχίζει να διαβάζει blog. Καταραμένη Google όταν μας έκοψες το Google Reader χάλασες όλη τη φάση. Νιώθω ενοχές που δε γράφω τόσο συχνά. Το έχω γράψει και παλιά, όλα αυτά τα χρόνια έχουν περάσει πολλά post από το μυαλό μου και συνεχίζω να μην τα γράφω. Ελπίζω ότι το 2020 θα είμαι …
