• Attending Craft Conference 2023

    I had the opportunity to attend this year’s Craft Conference – well, after learning that there was a software engineering conference regularly being organized each year in my hometown. I’ve been missing this piece of info for years on my end! 😅 General experience The conference was located at the Hungarian Railroad History Museum which…

  • Running macOS inside Linux with Docker-OSX

    It just happened to me that at my current workplace, Process Street, I had to fix a bug in our iOS application. But… I’d like to do this on a Linux box, and not on a MacBook. What to do in this case? Let’s run macOS inside a virtual machine! Prerequisites CPU virtualization Your CPU…

  • This site is now opted out of Google FLoC

  • Does ‘software engineering’ even exist?

    I’m not even sure if software engineering exists, or whether it should be called as such. See my opinionated post below. How software emerged As a reference, I have a ‘mechatronics engineering’ MSc, which is mostly a mix of electronics and mechanincal engineering. These classic engineering fields are called ‘engineering disciplines’. Mechanical (and also civil)…

  • Self-taught software engineering: Coursera & co.

    I really enjoy Coursera courses and have been doing them since I have been doing software engineering. It’s a great way to broaden my knowledge since I’ve never received formal computer science or software engineering education. Just a quick update: I added a list of what I have completed to the About page. Not really…

  • Goals for 2020

    It’s nice to have a list ready about what I would want to achieve this year. One is really ambitious of course, but this is something to refer back to later during the year, something to get inspired from in times of difficulty. So here we go. Share this post
