Hey there, I am Jan

I am a software engineer based in Hanover, Germany. I have been shaving yaks writing software professionally for more than 11 years, most of it in Python, and I am a bit of a Git nerd.

This blog is an attempt at bringing my thoughts and opinions into long-form prose whenever they get too loud to be kept in my head. It’s named »strong opinions loosely held« for the eponymous concept that can be described as

having the courage to take a stance and act on it, while not holding on to an opinion beyonod reason if new perspectives open up that warrant a shift.

In a way, this is also what I am trying to do with this blog; having the courage to put down my opinions in words, even when I am well aware that they will not remain as static as they seem to be at first glance.
