Stories from an Italian Software Engineer
Me
I’m not fronted or backend.
I’m not DevOps or SRE.
I’m not Developer or Architect.
I love software in any shape or form.
I love the fact that I can “materialize” ideas with it.
I love problems and I love challenges.

Browser as notepad
From time to time, I need to note something down, from a snippet of code to some lorem ipsum.
Of course, I can open a text editor and paste the text there but is it worth keeping another window around when I already have a browser open on one of my screens?
Juniper vpn on linux!
Are you running a 64bit linux flavor and you are having problem to connect to a Juniper vpn system, even using a 32bit firefox with a 32bit jre plugin as many online pages suggest?
It's a Trap!
I do a big use of shell scripts, and many of them contain a for loop, do you know what normally happen when you press CTRL^C and the script is executing an action inside the loop?
