In the fast-paced world of technology, keeping up with new tools, concepts, and workflows can feel overwhelming. That’s why I rely heavily on documentation—it’s not just a task; it’s a mindset. Documentation serves as my second brain, a system I can rely on to store, organise, and retrieve the knowledge I’ve accumulated over time. It helps me stay sharp, grow professionally, and contribute to others’ understanding. Here’s why it’s so important to me and how I approach it.

I’ve been diving deeper into Git recently, using it daily in my current role compared to just every other day in previous positions. While I’ve been comfortable with the core Git commands for a while, my current role has pushed me to explore more advanced Git concepts and techniques. I thought it would be useful to compile this guide as a reference, both for myself and for anyone else looking to sharpen their Git skills.

In the age of social media algorithms, personalised feeds, and endless scrolling, it might seem odd to rely on an older technology like RSS to stay informed. But for me, RSS remains one of the best ways to stay on top of my interests without the noise and distractions of modern platforms. Here’s why I still use RSS after all these years, how it helps me cut through the clutter, and why I prefer it over social media algorithms.

For many new Linux users, the command line can feel intimidating—an unforgiving interface where one wrong move could wreak havoc. You might worry about typing the wrong command, forgetting what to do, or feeling like you need to memorise a dictionary’s worth of commands to get started. I understand this fear—I’ve been there. But the command line isn’t something to fear; it’s a powerful tool that, with a little practice, becomes second nature.

I’ve always enjoyed exploring different operating systems, but it’s Linux based systems that I enjoy the most. Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate its flexibility, control, and the sense of community it offers. Here are some of the reasons why: 1. Flexibility and Customisation One of the standout features of Linux is its endless customisation options. Whether it’s tweaking the desktop environment, choosing your preferred package manager, or configuring system services, Linux offers unparalleled flexibility. I love that I can tailor the OS to fit my specific needs.
