Practical write-ups on Linux, IoT, Vim, and developer tools — from real projects and hands-on experimentation.
My first ESP32 project used HTTP for everything. It worked — barely. Here's what I learned about MQTT, BLE, Zigbee, LoRaWAN and the rest after building real IoT dashboards and realizing there's a better way.
I was convinced I needed to ditch VS Code and go full Vim. Then I discovered the VSCodeVim extension and realized I didn't have to choose. Here are the commands I learned during that obsession — and why you can use all of them without ever leaving VS Code.
I switched to Void Linux with DWM and never looked back — but the terminal was intimidating at first. Here are the 20 commands I actually reach for every single day, with honest context about when they saved me and when they nearly broke things.
I was using the same Linux tools for years and never thought to question them. Then I found these 10 alternatives — all faster, cleaner, and smarter than what they replace — and realized how much time I was leaving on the table.
