How this came to be

2 Oct 2026

I never seriously considered writing a blog before. I entertained the thought, but always postponed it as I deemed it not important enough for me to spend time on.

I’ve always considered something else to be a higher priority: if I had spare time, I would spend it on a hobby or work on a project.

But now things have changed

With AI, I have more idle time on my hands. Well, mostly I have a lot of context switching going on, and so it’s nice to sometimes just stop and focus on something that really depends on me: with the current way of handling agents, I usually have to think intensely, issue a bunch of commands and then wait for the AI to finish.

In such a moment of idleness, I noticed a message from an ex-colleague and friend of mine, Nicola, who updated me about his new job and how AI was making some automations a breeze. I took the opportunity to show him this agents orchestrator that I’m building as a tool to work on my other projects and he asked me if he could see the GitHub repo. I explained that I couldn’t have something like that out in the world because it was deeply intertwined with my setup, and even had my own environment keys in it… Some of them weren’t exactly dealt with in an elegant way.

“No, no, I can’t put that out in the world. It’s gonna be a security risk both for me and for whoever would use it if I made it public. As it is, it needs hardening. I might refine it at some point, but it’s not in my plans at the moment.”

“Okay, do you have a blog then?”

He made it sound so natural, as if having a blog were common sense, something everyone just knows to do, that I almost felt guilty for not having one.

Maybe it’s actually a good idea in times like these, when it’s increasingly important to have a personal brand, something to distinguish yourself, whether you’re looking for a job or you’re just promoting your own work. Trying to get your voice heard increasingly feels like yelling into the void and fighting a war with thousands of other applications and systems and people that are trying to get everybody’s attention.

There you have it

So I think this could be a win-win, where I practice my admittedly rusty writing skills, talk about what I’m doing and maybe it’s going to be useful to somebody else.

So here’s me rambling about my thoughts and my own projects. First of all, to show Nicola what I’ve made. And later to possibly showcase something else that I’m working on.
