Welcome to the campfire (About)
Introduction
Hi! My name is Eli. I am seasoned software (including, but not limited) engineer with previous experience in a few different, non-technical areas. I made lots of tricky choices that made my path full of rose thorns, rather than flowers. Yet making myself out of desperation valley last year once again opened entirely new world for me. World of books, deep thoughts, high-quality values.
And people. People guided by long-term values living deeply inside. I've been struggling doing this for entire life, and these struggles and knowledge is one of the my life's aspect I am going to share on the walls of my cave. Meanwhile still looking for a way out of it.
Software development
Programming and IT is my daily bread and butter by a choice. Steep curve, where each step leads me to understanding how much more things there are to learn and put my hands on. I am deeply convinced true passion grows from natural curiosity and effort.
I have spent many years in e-commerce mastering different aspects of PHP development, frontend development, DevOps and slightly management. Currently I am in love with Go programming language. Obviously I have joined Rust hype train and putted my toe into that door.
Content
According to my beliefs and values I am not starting this to become a better prompt engineer and more heavy generative algorithm user for content creation. You should be sure thoughts I post here are not machine generated due to the fact it does not make sense for me personally. The same goes with photos. I enjoy making photos and I enjoy most of the aspects of making and editing it. I believe everyone deserves to distinguish generative content (existing content rephrased). I treat the possibility to skip it as a part of respectful relationship.
However, this rule won't work for images, as I am using generative algorithms to create images for my thoughts and ideas, to represent them visually. This skill is the one I never truly wished to developer. I mean this is the awesome skill, but I never had patience to learn enough. Maybe it will change one day.
