Hey πŸ‘‹ I'm Vastrik

I write about technology, wacky IT stuff and surviving the cyberpunk going on around us. And been doing this for over 10 years.

I'm a software engineer from Siberia, ex team-lead and indie-hacker living in Berlin πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

I have a dog, a camper bus and run an online community. I do some pet projects too.

This is the English version of my blog, where I sometimes translate articles from the main version.
