Hola, I’m Cesar Aguirre! 👋

I'm a software engineer, lifelong learner, language enthusiast, and avid reader.

I work remotely from Colombia 🇨🇴 (not Columbia) as a C# backend engineer and digital writer.

With 10+ years in software engineering, I've written bad code and changed my mind about comments, method length, and Clean Code.

I'm not "passionate" anymore. I'm lazy. A VP of Engineering once called me lazy as a compliment. Best feedback I've ever received.

Everybody brags about their achievements, but here are some of my failures:

• I was fired from my first coding job.
• I failed the interview process at a FAANG.
• I once crashed a database server with a poorly written query.

Probably I've run a DELETE statement without filtering it first, but I can't remember. And I've introduced (and fixed) so many bugs I've lost count.

But I've learned valuable lessons from all those experiences.

And that's what I write about here on my blog and in my books.
