| Throughout my 10+ years of experience in Information Technology,
|
||
|
|
||
b I've tried everything
|

|
|
||
| from compiling COFF after LLIR lowering to designing a resilient ultra-scalable fleet of FAAS workers, from Substrate and IPFS to event-driven stock price prediction.

||
p
|
||
| Comprehending a technology is like surfing on the waves of technology trends, on the surface of the greatest whirlpool of singularity. Comprehension means fundamental, decomposed knowledge enough to build a solution at
|
||
|
|
||
b any scale
|
||
| .
|
||
p
|
||
| For me, it is not about thoroughly learning API of yet another web framework, it is instead getting hands on the set of tooling a technology offers, so that I may choose the
|
||
|
|
||
mark best framework suitable for the problem
|
||
|
|
||
| . If I were to compile my 10+ years of experience into one line, that would be the following:

big Right tooling is paramount.

b 2013:
|
||
|
|
||
| It all began with Warcraft®️ III™️ maps, such as
|
||
a(href="https://xgm.guru/p/ufs/index" target="_blank") UFS Arena
|
||
| . I did all the
|
||

b coding
|
||
|
|
||
| (cJass, a C-like domain-specific language) and
|
||
|
|
||
b design
|
||
| , and my maps gained some popularity in the Russian-speaking community.
|
||
li
|
||
b 2014:
|
||
|
|
||
| First steps in commercial product development:
|
||
a(href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/xc8kjswj4fb0m0z/presentation.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank") Anogram
|
||
| , a social anonymous service project. I did the

||
|
|
||
b design and backend coding
|
||
|
|
||
|in PHP. Unfortunately, the trend had quickly detoriated.
|
||
li
|

b 2015:

ul
|

li
|
||
| In 2015, I released an Android game called
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://www.moddb.com/games/jumpin-sweeties/videos/trailer" target="_blank") Jumpin Sweeties
|
||
| , written with
|
||
|
|
||
b LibGDX
|
||
| . My family and friends liked it, but it didn't gain much traction.
|
||
li
|
||
| With
|
||
|
|
||
b Ruby on Rails
|
||
| , I created a Bitcoin service for SMS number confirmations based on Google Voice, and after a couple of months sold it to a foreign customer for a good price. This marked the beginning of my journey as a
|
||
|
|
||
b solo entrepreneur
|
||
| .
|
||
li
|
||
b 2016:
|
||
ul
|
||
li
|
||
| This was the year of
|
||
|
|
||
b Telegram bots
|
||
|
|
||
| for me. First, I created
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://profitrobot.me/" target="_blank") @profitrobot
|
||
| , which climbed pretty hign in the bot store rating. The bot allowed users to earn lunch money by completing CPA tasks and watching advertisements. Profitrobot became
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="/public/img/posts/2020-08-07-hello-world/bot-a-users-graph.jpg") quite popular,
|
||
|
|
||
| and I managed to sell it to another entrepreneur.
|
||
li
|
||
| In parallel I worked on
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://t.me/soundmemesbot" target="_blank") @soundememesbot
|
||
| , which allowed its users to post sound memes in chats. Long story short, the bot became
|
||
|
|
||
mark massively popular all around the world
|
||
| , but I did struggle to monetize it. Required moderation efforts made me shut it down. Also, later Telegram team silently
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://fragment.com/username/soundmemes" target="_blank") took away the @soundememes username
|
||
|
|
||
| and deleted the channel, which is definetely a lesson learned.
|
||
|
|
||
small BTW, I still have the source code and sounds database, sometimes thinking about launching it again with NFTs...
|
||
li
|
||
b 2017:
|
||
|
|
||
| Not all the projects are destined to become viable, such that was
|
||
a(href="https://telegra.ph/CashbackBot-09-16" target="_blank") CashbackBot
|
||
| , a Telegram bot for
|
||
|
|
||
b cashback services
|
||
| . I've spent a lot of time building it, but the project was never launched, nor it was sold.

li
|
||
b 2018:
|
||
|
|
||
| This year marked the beggining of my two-years journey in the
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://crystal-lang.org/" target="_blank") Crystal programming language
|
||
|
|
||
| ecosystem. I loved being a part of
|
||
|
|
||
mark open-source
|
||
|
|
||
| (check out my
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://github.com/vladfaust") GitHub
|
||
| !). I created many libraries, including
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://github.com/onyxframework/http") web framework
|
||
|
|
||
| and
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://github.com/onyxframework/sql") ORM
|
||
| , and even
|
||
|
|
||
b contributed into the language
|
||
|
|
||
| itself. Also check out my

li
|
||
b 2020:
|
||
|
|
||
| By 2020, I was fed with all the imperfections of the Crystal ecosystem, and decided to move and build
|
||
|
|
||
mark my own programming language
|
||
| , Onyx. Oh, that was a ride. Long story short, too much for a single person. Yet,
|
||
|
|
||
b an enormous amount of computer science experience
|
||
|
|
||
| gained. Just look at the plethora of Onyx compilers I was working on:
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://github.com/fancysofthq/phoenix") C++
|
||
| ,
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://github.com/onyxlang/rs") Rust
|
||
|
|
||
| and even
|
||
|
|
||
a(href="https://github.com/onyxlang/ts") TypeScript with Zig
