Adapting to change is a necessary step forwards. But isn’t it like that everywhere?
Domenico Schiraldi

Domenico is a full stack developer with a humanistic studies background. However, quite by accident, he has found the answers to many unexplained technical curiosities in the coding theory.
He compares programming to mountain-climbing. Both require total dedication, an obsessive precision in analysing processes and a rapid response to unexpected events…… but when you reach the top the view is breath-taking!
