Welcome to my first blog post!
Hello, my name is Tiago, and I'm IT student that is hungry for learning about web development, cybersecurity or anything new and exciting on technology. In this Blog I want to talk about the things that I learned and things that I enjoy doing in my free time like, building unnecessary/cool stuff and contributing to open source.
Tools
One day decided to install a linux distribution on my notebook, I was tired of using Windows and all that crap about using a system that you need to buy, to be honest that time I didn't know anything about all telemetry that Microsoft gave me with no choice. So I took a decision, let's install a Linux distribution but, which one? I ask my brother, and he said to me that an easy way in could be Ubuntu, a friendly distribution.
I didn't know that my curiosity, and the need to use the terminal on Ubuntu would give rise to a new big passion.
What I used:
- Ubuntu
- gnome
- bspwm
- gnome(back..., haha)
- Pop! OS
- Cosmic
- Arch Linux(current)
- Hyprland (very beautiful, but buggy)
- i3-wm (simple, straightforward and lightweight)
I'll talk about all this path in the future!
Web development
When I started studding programming, the first language that I spent real time learning was Javascript and I decided to specialize in web development, and throughout this process I learned about some front-end tools like React, Angular and Astro. On the server side I build some application with Expressjs and Fastify.
I'm currently learning Java with Springboot and in the future I pretend to learn Go.
I'll also talk about what I'm learning and some specific web stuff
Open source
After entering the Linux world and beging to use the terminal a little more everyday I discovered the open source community. It's really amazing what a community of developers can do. Neovim, Archlinux, Zellij, Lazygit, Zap and a lot of others projects made me love even more software development. Open source is true love to build cool stuff that you really care about, ain't this beautiful? So I decided to make part of this, of course, I contributed to Lunarvim and Astronvim, both Neovim distributions and I build a plugin to Zap a Zsh plugin manager.

Off topic
Beside programming and technology I love to play videogames and play/listen to music, so I'll write about this too.
