Introducing DevBytes Quick Dives Into Software Engineering

Hey there you! WordPress managed to break my latest backup, sadly today’s posts wont include any gifs 😭

Hey you, welcome back!
Today, I’m excited to share with you a new series on my blog that I like to call DevBytes (inspired by the concise and engaging style of LTT’s “Quick Bits”).
DevBytes aims to deliver bite-sized insights into the world of software & hardware engineering. With fun! (I hope)

What is DevBytes?

DevBytes is all about making quick, practical knowledge accessible. Every post in this series will be a quick dive into a specific software engineering concept—be it coding best practices, debugging tips, agile methodologies, or introductions to the latest technologies. Along with hands-on tips, I’ll also try to explain underlying theories such as the role of tensors in LLM models, which are fundamental to understanding modern AI architectures.

Why DevBytes?

Because why not?
I’ll try my best to create a repository of safe, reliable knowledge and share what I love with the people. Also, it gets hard to find time for deep, long articles. I’ll try to keep everything short. I may add some GIFs (it’s supposed to be pronounced as “/ɡɪf/”), though.

What to Expect

Over the coming weeks, I’ll cover topics such as:

  • Explanations of fundamental theoretical frameworks—like how tensors work in the context of transformer-based models.
  • Quick fixes for common coding issues.
  • Best practices in software design and architecture.
  • Tips for streamlining your workflow and boosting productivity.
  • And many more nuggets of wisdom I’ve gathered over my coding journey (since 2009!).

The idea behind DevBytes is to offer you both rapid, practical insights. Whether it’s a fast refresher or a quick dive into a technical concept, DevBytes is crafted with your busy schedule in mind. Also, if the topic needs more detailed explanation, I’ll explain it under different categories as well, making DevBytes the tip of the iceberg 😄.

Join me in this adventure, and let’s make software engineering a little more byte-sized and a lot more enlightening!

Happy coding, and see you in the next DevBytes!

ABOUT ME

Hey there! I’m Metin, also known as devsimsek—a young, self-taught developer from Turkey. I’ve been coding since 2009, which means I’ve had plenty of time to make mistakes (and learn from them…mostly).

I love tinkering with web development and DevOps, and I’ve dipped my toes in numerous programming languages—some of them even willingly! When I’m not debugging my latest projects, you can find me dreaming up new ideas or wondering why my code just won’t work (it’s clearly a conspiracy).

Join me on this wild ride of coding, creativity, and maybe a few bad jokes along the way!
