About

Hi, I’m Aryan. I’m a programmer who’s in love with modern and cutting-edge technology! In 2022, I got my first job in programming as a .Net Back-End Developer. Since then, I’ve worked with many tools and on various projects, but my main focus has mostly been .NET.

Early in my career, I loved over-engineering things and using new stuff in my projects, but recently I’ve become a fan of simplicity. You can see my interest in simplicity throughout this blog too. Johan Cruyff (the Dutch football legend, creator of Total Football and Tiki-Taka) has a famous quote:

Playing football is simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing possible

I think this quote is also true for software development.

I know a bit about infrastructure and DevOps concepts, and I’m very interested in them. I try to study them in my free time.

I’m a huge fan of AI and try not to fall behind its trends (even though it’s really hard), and I continuously study it.

I’ve tried frontend several times, but the output was never satisfactory :) But I’m sure one day I’ll master that too :)

I completed my studies in Computer Science at Islamic Azad University-Science and Research Branch.

But well, I learned everything I know outside of university :)

About This Blog

In this blog, I’m going to share the things I’m learning myself. The experiences I’ve gained, the right and wrong paths I’ve taken, and…

There won’t be any zero-to-hero tutorials here; there are much more experienced people and much more credible resources for that.

I’ll try to explain things in simple and conversational language. In my opinion, someone who talks in a complicated and overly fancy way isn’t cool; being cool means explaining something difficult in a way that everyone can understand. That’s what I’m trying to do: keep things simple.

Things you might see on this blog:

• A deep dive into database indexes
• What is Cloudflare and what services does it offer?
• How to properly use AI in the development environment
• My opinion on a particular topic
• The differences between C# and Go
• How to write a good resume and how to apply

Things you won’t see:

• Project-based C# tutorials
• Clean code tutorials
• Those LinkedIn posts that say “don’t write code like that, write it like this” and get 50 reposts
• click-baite titles
• Is programming dead in 2093?

The blog itself and its content are also open source and licensed under the MIT License. You can see it here.

It’s written with Astro, is completely SSG, and is deployed for free on Cloudflare Workers.
