Self-proclaimed writer

Survived 20 years in IT. Mostly intact.

A pen name. I try not to pull punches — though I do flinch when they come back.

I’ve been a developer, DevOps tinkerer, Scrum Master, and reluctant team lead. I worked in startups that moved fast and broke things — and in enterprises that moved slow and broke people.

After two decades of production fires, buzzwords, and PowerPoint‑driven decisions, I decided it was time to document the madness — with just enough sarcasm to survive.

No, I won't tell you which parts are based on real conversations. You already know.

IT Dictionary

A Survival Manual for the Tech Circus

Coming September 2025

From debugging trenches and absurd Agile rituals, through Corpoland’s soul‑crushing bureaucracy, to Startupistan’s hoodie‑fueled chaos and AI’s confident hallucinations — IT Dictionary is your darkly funny survival manual for life in modern tech.

Across 1,666 entries and five painfully accurate realms, the book translates the secret language of IT into what people actually mean:

  • Part 1: Core IT – Survival Mode Activated:
    Production fires, polite blame games, and the art of surviving 3 AM incidents.
  • Part 2: Agile Rituals and Other Cargo Cults:
    Stand‑ups, retros, and the ceremonial theater of “velocity.”
  • Part 3: Corpoland – Where Ideas Go to Get Approved:
    PowerPoint-driven decisions, buzzword currency, and bureaucratic purgatory.
  • Part 4: Startupistan – Chaos, Hoodie and Deadline:
    Fake metrics, heroic all‑nighters, and pivots faster than coffee cools.
  • Part 5: AI – The New Kid in Town:
    Confident hallucinations, vibe coding, and the shiny new messiah of tech.

If you’ve ever blamed DNS, survived a sprint retro, or wondered whether your entire industry is just a well‑funded joke — this book will feel disturbingly familiar.

It’s part dictionary, part therapy session, and part satirical mirror of the world we chose (or accidentally fell into).
