I love hardware and servers. And I enjoy working across every stack from iOS and Android to Python, PHP, JavaScript, Node, Java, Kotlin, C, Go, Rust, and C++.
I love programming in general.
I love opening old machines and seeing how everything fits together.
At this point I have become a hoarder of PCs parts and even old servers. I keep them because every piece has a story. Every board and every chip is a reminder of how far computing has come and how everything we build today began with a simple idea.

Many developers think everything is solved in software.
But the truth is simple
Many hacks and many real solutions live inside the hardware itself.

If you know how your CPU works
If you know how RAM behaves
If you know how your system moves data
You suddenly understand why your code runs the way it does
You understand why something is slow or why something breaks under load
You understand why some systems scale and others hit a wall

The older I get the more I realize that the design of our hardware is the real origin of all programming decisions.
The way Von Neumann designed a computer shaped everything
The structure of CPU memory and buses guides how every program must run
Even modern GPUs and distributed systems still follow the same old rules of physics

When I learn a new language or build a new system I always go back to one question
What is the hardware doing under the hood

Once you understand that
Everything becomes easier
Debugging
Performance
Architecture
Even machine learning
It all makes more sense

So I write this as someone who loves keeping old machines alive
Someone who opens old servers just to admire the layout of the board
Someone who enjoys seeing how things were built before cloud and containers took over

Hardware is the foundation
Software is the expression
Understanding both is the real power
