I'm Nicolai, a 9517 days old software engineer and homecook from Moldova. I'm into tech, backend, event-driven architecture, cooking, coffee, warm weather, vim, monospaced fonts, 00s desktop setup screenshots, legacy iOS and probably something else.

On February 24th, I woke up in Lviv (lucky enough) from an air raid siren and news that Ukraine was invaded by Russia, now full-scale. Me and my wife were lucky enough to not get killed by a russian missile strike, we slept on the corridor floor and sat in the bathroom next night during another air raid siren at 4AM. We then left to a safe place, but it's not the case for tens of millions of citizens of Ukraine. suffering from this terror led by Russia, not knowing whether they will be alive tomorrow or within the next hour.
