I find my self doing lots of work in the terminal lately, I have to admit I was not that type of guy or an expert, but over the years I needed to step my bash/cmd/terminal game. So I just red yesterday this very short and simple article, and I was like, wait a minute I've done some of these mistakes in the past. Master …

I am thinking (or maybe I can see), that while more companies jump to the cloud, migrating their existing software solutions and services, things like tech-debt or architectural-debt are going to become a first class citizen and hot topic, again. Which is a good thing! Really! I am very happy about it, because I do …

Last Thursday & Friday, I did a short trip to Greece in order to attend the very first Voxxed Days in Greece, it took place in Thessaloniki. First, I would like to congratulate, the master mind behind the overall organization +Patroklos Papapetrou , who eventually succeeded and materialized a long-lasting dream …

Wow, how many lost minutes or hours, every day, because I did not know this a long time ago. I am bit ashamed. How many times, while working on your mac you get to Open a File, and the system by default opens an editor or an application that is usually set by default. I can not count how many times I have killed Xcode …

I always enjoyed sharing knowledge. One of the reasons I blog is to share my knowledge on things around my job as a software engineer. Founding and running (with a handful of friends) the first Java User Group in Greece back in 2003, was due to the fact that we could not get sufficient training or access to personal …

One of the great things, when living in London is that you have access to meetup's and communities for almost every technology you will ever manage to get interested in. After attending the first EU Kubernetes Conference - KubeCon (2 months ago), this was my second time attending the 'Kubernetes London Community' in …

Πριν από 4 μέρες κλείσαμε 1 χρόνο ως νεο-μετανάστες, όπως πολλοί που διαβάζουν αυτό το blog είναι ήδη υποθέτω. Θεωρώ οτι ανήκουμε στην κατηγορία, αργήσατε αλλά τα καταφέρατε μιας και αρκετός κόσμος την είχε ήδη κάνει την τελευταία πενταετία. Θυμάμαι εκείνο το πρωίνό στον Ελ.Βενιζέλος, νόμιζα οτι πάω διακοπές και θα …

Το να βρω νέο dojo και να ξεκινήσω προπονήσεις είναι στιγμή ορόσημο σε κάθε αλλαγή χώρας. Εύχομαι οτι δε θα χρειαστεί άλλη. Μετά απ΄το σύντομο πέρασμα σε ένα αρκετά συμπαθές και μικρό σύλλογο στο Luxembourg, σήμερα έκανα την πρώτη μου προπόνηση στο Sobell Judo Club, στην περιοχή του Isligton (κοντά στο emirates) που …

It is known that I am not the biggest fan of Spring, but at the time being I work for an organization that maintains too many projects utilizing Spring (in different forms and versions). I still remain skeptic towards Spring, of course there are some very nice ideas, there are some nice (too many) abstractions, there …

Όταν πρωτό φτάσαμε στο Λουξεμβούργο, για κάποιο καιρό σκεφτόμουν αρκετά έντονα το σπίτι μου στην Ελλάδα, το δυτικό Χαϊδάρι. Ο πραγματικά υπέροχος καιρός σε αυτό το μικρό καταπράσινο κέντρο ευρωπαϊκό χωριό δεν με βοηθούσε αρκετά. Έβλεπα καθημερινά ειδήσεις, ήταν και εκείνο το δημοψήφισμα, νιώθαμε οτι φύγαμε μάλλον, την …
