That's me, Ben.
Hey, I'm Ben Ripkens (bripkens)
and this my blog.
I live in
Düsseldorf
(Germany)
and I'm currently writing my bachelor thesis at the
codecentric AG.
This blog is about some
of the stuff that I encounter while developing, reading and the like. Most
of the time I can't get myself to write long articles, which is why you
will mostly find short code snippets, stories and links on this website.
