The Great Triage has ended

At the end of February, I started what I called the Great Triage. The goal was to reduce the number of songs I starred on Spotify by listening to them randomly and removing them if I didn’t enjoy them anymore during one month.

The Great Triage has begun

When my parents bought a Spotify family subscription back in 2017 (I was 18 at the time), I started to furiously like every song and album that I could find. At the beginning, I was awesome ! No need to download MP3 into my mobile phone, and I could listen to so much stuff.

How I changed the way I teach for this year

The scholar year 2023-2024 is my second year as an adjunct professor at Lyon 1 Institute of Technology, in parallel to my day-to-day job. But even if the content of my courses is still the same (Programming 101 and Security 101), I made a few changes to the way I share and teach stuff.

I'm leaving

Today was last day at Virtuo. I joined in September 2021, right after the end of my BSc, and it was my first “real” job1. At the time, I was wondering what I’ll do in the future: should I endure 2 more years at the university to obtain a master, or should I find a job?

Partial history search using the Up key with Bash

I’m a big fan of Bash. Every time I tried another shell (especially Zsh), I always ended up using Bash at some point. There is one cool thing with Zsh tho: when you start to enter a command and then press the Up arrow key, you go through all the previous commands in your history that start with what you typed.
