My view on technology

More than 30 years ago, I started my first formal job, and with it, a ritual that has stayed with me ever since: beginning the day with a cup of coffee. I usually drink coffee mainly on workdays, which is why I can consider it a symbol of my professional life. One cup turned into two, and coffee went from being extremely sweet with cream to plain and black. My taste for coffee has evolved, much like my professional journey, from being an individual contributor to leading several software development teams. Each day and every project has been marked by this ritual. Every cup of coffee has witnessed conversations, decisions, lessons, joys, sorrows, triumphs, and even failures. As the Oracle says in The Matrix : “Everything that has a beginning has an end.” Every finished cup of coffee, or a task, a project, or a work stage, is an invitation to start something new. What matters is treasuring what was learned along the way. In my most recent professional adventure, which began in April 201...

Moore's Law was formulated empirically and states that the number of transistors in a microprocessor doubles every two years, while prices are halved during the same period. Origins The law was proposed by Gordon Moore in April 1965. Moore graduated from CalTech and, in 1968, co-founded Intel . In a microprocessor, transistors are the components that enable the mathematical operations needed for a computer to function. By the early 1970s, microprocessors contained 2,300 transistors. Observing advancements in technology, Moore initially estimated that the number of transistors would double every year, but 10 years later, he adjusted his prediction to every two years. Is Moore’s Law Accurate? Over time, Moore's Law has been monitored and has proven accurate. From the 2,000 transistors processors contained in the early 1970s, by 2017, they had reached 1 billion. Another implication of Moore's Law is that prices decrease by half within this two-year period. This means that ...
