Matteo Fogli @pecus.it · 15/04/2025My previous role as CEO (of my own company) was as much technical as business. I have shifted into an exclusive managerial role that I enjoy, but I still crave for code, despite having very little time to devote to it. Finding balance is difficult, when Frontend is well rooted in your heart 010
Matteo Fogli @pecus.it · 16/03/2025Someone higher up the corporate chain might not know what implications blind requests to dev have. Make sure they understand the consequences and act accordingly.

Matteo Fogli @pecus.it · 24/02/2025Fascism always fails. It is destructive and it is awful and not everyone lives to see the other side, but it always, always fails. It takes work. It takes fighting back.[…] And through it all, it feels impossible that we will win. But we will. 010

Matteo Fogli @pecus.it · 03/12/2024My personal Advent of Code is making sense of a badly structured dataset, including non continuous datapoints that need gaps filled, over different stata granularity (hours, days, months, …) and where time zones considerations are an afterthought.

Matteo Fogli @pecus.it · 02/12/2024Interesting AI rabbit hole.

Matteo Fogli @pecus.it · 26/11/2024With AI we’ll recover some of the more prosaic meaning of “script“: we’re effectively telling what to perform and how, a play that recites code, up to the point the actual outcome is the only thing we’ll value (code being a mere “script”). #promptEngineering is more about Shakeaspere than bits 200
