eBPF is one of the more interesting additions to modern Linux: powerful for observability, networking, and policy without reaching straight for kernel modules.

WebAssembly, sockets, and PWAs make the browser a much more serious application platform than it used to be.

Decentralized systems are still interesting to me when they solve real coordination or ownership problems. The surrounding experiments have been uneven, but not all empty.

Linux namespaces quietly changed infrastructure. They made modern container tooling possible and gave us a lighter, more reproducible way to package systems.

There is a lot of value in running more of your own stack if you are willing to trade convenience for control.

I still like the general direction here: usable encryption, identity, and device trust. I also prefer a YubiKey wherever it fits.

A fast-moving area with obvious usefulness and obvious risks. I like the tooling, but I care just as much about security and data privacy.

I have not worked on this platform yet, which is part of the appeal. The surrounding open hardware ecosystem is interesting too.

React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin all chase the same goal: one product team, less duplicated effort, and a more consistent experience across platforms. The tradeoffs are real, but the payoff can be worth it.

Still one of the best ways to shake real bugs out of software, especially when combined with good harnesses and persistent coverage feedback.
