I've finally released public beta of my latest project - Vrite - CMS for technical (programming) content. It's also open-source now, so you can have a look on GitHub. About 2 weeks late, but still excited for working on this 😅

Did a live streaming interview. Recorded talk for a Japanese conference.
Did a video on operator overloading in Java.
Created a new talk covering external debugging tools based on a chapter from my book. I'm giving it next week.
Working on the requirement specification document in a new startup I'm building. That's raising a lot of questions.

Thanks a lot, Michael! Indeed it feels good to finish something (as opposed to just starting things).

Joining this community is a win for me!

Also, I successfully deployed my side project website with Firebase support: RepRecorder.dev. I started it about 2-3 weeks ago. I think it needs some more features to be useful, but I have a basic MVP working. Excited to add more features in the future!
