I had a recent conversation with some Muslim friends, where they raised my attention to the story of Jacob in Genesis, where he fights with a man. They were showing me a Christian commentary on this text where this man is said to be God himself, and possibly even Jesus…

Christmas time is here, it’s the most wonderful time of the year or so they say. But why is it? As a christian I would say it’s a wonderful time indeed, because we are — or at least should be — celebrating the birth of the most wonderful person in…

In March 2021, I left the company and the project that I worked for 9 years. This is my goodbye message. If I’m going to be completely honest, I never liked to read this kind of goodbye messages, but now that it’s my turn to go, I feel compelled to…

As a follow up to the previous article, I needed to warn you (and me) about powershell closures. They didn’t work as i expected The confusion point for me was that $Foo can be changed by the invoker, unless we add the .GetNewClosure().
