Ordinary Nick

Hello, I am Rostislav Novák (Ordinary Nick), a software developer with eight years of experience. I am primarily using Java programming language, but I can quickly learn any other language. Also, I have an interest in DevOps.

All programming languages are very similar. Always learn common programming knowledge

In my opinion, the programming language does not matter. All languages are quite similar. That's why I am focusing on the knowledge of programming paradigms and techniques, design patterns, algorithms, and other things in computer science. Also, I like trying new technologies.

Learning

How I resolve problems.

Keep it simple

The solution should be simple, but also it should not be a hacky solution.

Make it extensible

The solution should be very robust and easily extensible for new changes.

Performance vs readability

The solution should perform fast and responsive, but the priority is readability.
