  <footer class="bg-dark text-white text-center py-2">
    <!-- Your footer content here -->
  </footer>
</body>
  • d-flex flex-column min-vh-100 on : makes the body fill the viewport and act like a vertical Flexbox container.

  • footer: stays at the bottom even with short content.

You can never die

11 May 2025

If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die. ― Mik Everett

You can reread the above quote to this: “If the person dear to you is an artist, you can never die.”

Yes, because they will carry you in their art pieces. If they are a writer, they will hide you between the lines of their favorite poems or stories. If they are a photographer, you will be in their photos forever. If they are a musician, they will blend you into the rhythm. If they are a painter, they will add you into the corners of their canvas. And the list goes on.

You will be forever engraved in their art, sometimes in plain sight, sometimes hidden. When others see the art, the artist will see you.

Modernization of Apps

9 May 2025

One of the main topics discussed in the seminar I attended was modernizing legacy applications.

Legacy applications are typically monolithic in nature, making it difficult to scale or integrate new features quickly. The monolithic apps ruled the software industry for a very longer time, but now people are moving (already many moved) to its great alternative, the microservice architecture.

I’ve come across monolithic applications that are tightly coupled with environments like Oracle or .NET, where growth can become a painful process. Over time, these systems tend to become slow, expensive to maintain, and resistant to change.

Monolithic and microservice architecture

Unknown universe

9 May 2025

We will meet again
in an unknown universe,
where I am the wizard,
and you, my witch
where I will cast
the most divine spell:
“Tvayi prema karomi.”

Beneath the raining stars,
We will fall in love again,
after a million lifetimes.
