An irregular blog by a human software engineer and an amateur musician. 2026-02-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://blog.sergeyev.info/posts/feed.xml 2026-02-01T00:00:00+00:00 2026-02-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://blog.sergeyev.info/posts/here-we-go-again/ <p>It's been a while since I've tried to maintain this website or otherwise post anything online. But all this recent turmoil makes me want to create <em>human-generated</em> content again.</p> <p>I've just <a rel="external" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79871488/dynamically-change-log-level-with-tracing-rust/">answered a question</a> on StackOverflow, first in a long long time. StackOverflow has been helping me throughout my whole career for over 15 years. I took it for granted and barely contributed back. I don't want it to die, at least for nostalgic reasons. It is somewhat awkward to see my old questions and answers there, with some technical naivety and a poor language use. But also, rewarding.</p> <p>I've read too many excellent blogs that made me raise the bar for my own content too high. But the key to happiness is low expectations, and that bar only exists in my head. So I hope to post something occasionally anyway, even if unremarkable, of limited use, or off-topic.</p> <p>Tiny steps accumulate, if consistent; compound interest works; something is better than nothing. I have to remind myself of it every day as it is only noticeable over the span of years.</p> <p>(Still not sure if I want to start from scratch or restore the old posts that used to be here. They may not pass that imaginary quality test in my head anymore.)</p>
