Lost In It 🧭

This space is a logbook from a fellow wayfarer in the world of IT.

Like you, I often feel lost—staring down cryptic errors, wrestling with new technologies, or simply trying to figure out “what’s next.”

Lost In It is not a definitive guide, but a collection of shared experiences, observations, and solutions discovered along the winding path of software development. We embrace the journey, documenting the lessons learned, the mistakes made, and the unexpected discoveries that come with exploration.

You’re not lost, we’re exploring.

About Me | The Wayfarer

The Wayfarer’s Philosophy

This blog, “Lost In It,” is born from a shared feeling: the profound sense of being adrift in the boundless, fast-moving ocean of Information Technology. Like many who started this journey out of passion, I’ve often found myself crushed by overwhelming complexity and problems far out of scale. The lack of shared knowledge and quality in our artifacts only deepens this fog.

I identify with the philosophy of the Wayfarer—not someone with a strict destination, but one who finds the goal in the journey itself, and in sharing the road with others.

Designing Modular Bash: Functions, Namespaces, and Library Patterns

You’ve written Bash scripts before. Maybe you’ve automated a deployment, wrangled some log files, or stitched together a few commands to save time. But as your scripts grow, something changes. What started as a clean 20-line helper becomes a 200-line sprawl. Functions call functions that modify global variables. You copy-paste code between scripts because extracting shared logic feels harder than it should be. The script works, but it’s fragile, and you’re the only person who can maintain it.
