About the founder, Alex
My initial encounter with computing occurred in the late 1990s, my neighbor’s dad had a Win 95 machine that he’d let us play with once in a while. With the advent of 2000 millennium, I was already fairly familiar with various systems (thanks to my school network), which then led to a natural interest in programming (to be fair, there wasn’t much else happening on the Web back then!). I began with Visual Basic and Perl (rip to both), gaining a foundational understanding of software development.
The release of WordPress in 2003 was a key moment for me, as it prompted me to establish my first online blog and dive into PHP and server-side management. Over the years I got more and more interested in writing and building online projects, so much so that I spend more time writing these days than I do coding. Nevertheless, the passion is there and I highly doubt it will ever be extinguished.
In 2015, I was invited to come and join the Huffington Post team to help them build their “Code” column, which lasted for about 2-ish years in total. That’s also when I got to work with other editorials such as Entrepreneur and TheNextWeb. From thereon I have been juggling various projects and focusing mostly on creating informative platforms that are based on interests close to me.
What does Stack Diary mean? In the tech world, a “stack” typically refers to a set of software products and technologies used to build a complete application. In this context, “diary” means a repository of the said stack. It’s a fairly low-level name, but I was never a domain hoarder so I just went with what was available. I still think it’s a good name.
