If you read my previous ones (first and second), you’d have remembered that I spent year one waiting to be let go, and then I spent year two trying to understand why I wasn’t let go all the while trying to […] The post “Does daddy live here?” appeared first on UnstructedTech.com .
I’ve started writing at least three articles on various AI-related topics but frankly, things are moving so fast that I can’t even manage to mentally process one whole thing before realizing that there’s something more urgent to talk about now … But anyway … At this point I believe we are all aware that there […] The post My predictions for the future with AI appeared first on UnstructedTech.com .

Recently I haven’t been having that much time to write about tech stuff. That’s a bummer and I hope to improve that in the future.

I’ve been thinking about writing this retrospective for a long time. Hell, even when I started, back in September 2022, I […] The post Reflecting on two years in Microsoft appeared first on…
I’m anxious of unknowns. Seriously. Whenever I’m faced with something that is new and unknown, especially if it’s work related, my brain will try running away screaming in anxiety. Like so: Suffice to say, WinDbg was absolutely one of those things that I’ve never, ever in my life even considered opening. No sir. Nope. I’ll […] The post Getting started with WinDbg appeared first on…
I wrote five articles (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5) where I explored various ways on how to attach the debugger the moment the (Windows) process starts.
