Hey there, I'm Kevin. This, nehalist.io, is my personal (tech) blog where I write about software development, tech in general and sometimes personal things. You can also find me on:
The person
As mentioned above my name is Kevin, born October 1990, a full-time full-stack developer currently working for working for Lorem Ipsum web.solutions in Graz. But software development is not just my job - it's my passion. Ever since I've been a child I like to understand the "Why?" and "How?", hence spending (probably way too much) time in front of computers trying to extend my knowledge and becoming better at whatever I do.
For more than half of my life (which equals approximately 15 years) I've been working with numerous programming languages, technologies and tools. As of today I consider myself a full-stack developer, mainly working with JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Angular, Node), PHP (Symfony), different kinds of (No-)SQL databases and all that kind of things.
Blogging has always been a fun way to improve myself. I can't just post things I'm not certain about - every* post requires further investigation, additional reflection and a reasonable amount of certainty in terms of quality before hitting that "Publish" button.
If you want to master something, teach it.
— Richard Feynman
Outside the world of software it's likely to find me playing games, spending time with my family and friends or trying to stop my cat from going insane.
* = Mostly. If you think I'm spreading nonsense please get in touch with me and let's talk about it!The blog
With my first post published somewhere around 2004 (when I had no idea what I was doing) my blog has gone through multiple iterations regarding its content, name and logo.
It used a variety of different blogging engines, including custom engines, WordPress, Gatsby and currently is using a custom fork of Ghost hosted on Uberspace. In addition to that it uses a bunch of individually created webhooks to realize an Algolia-powered search engine and the contact form.
