Hi, I'm Ciro Iodice Napodano, also known as Jerotz, an Italian computer programmer based in Certaldo, IT. I was born on August 28th, 1964 in Naples, IT.
I spend most of my professional time writing code - either server-side or client-side - and novels.



My email address is myfirstname [at] thisdomain
I receive many emails: while I'm thankful for this to happen, I'm not able to reply to every single one. I understand this could sound rough, but otherwise I would not work, neither have time for me and myself. If you don't get a reply the first time please try to resend your message if you consider it truly important.

My social channels

I post not so often (but lurk at it), in Italian language, on Facebook, especially regarding my life and my activity as a writer. There's no need to ask me to be friend, the account is open, so you can just follow me.
I constantly read (but rarely write comments)

I also own a LinkedIn profile, where you can find more about me, my skills and my professional life.

MY BOOKS

I wrote six novels, spanning from hard-boiled themes to exoteric and mistic atmospheres.
They're all published on Amazon

IL PAESE DELLE DONNE (2014)

My first hard-boiled novel, Il paese delle donne, was self-published on Amazon KDP 2014

• Italian edition paperback and ebook.
• UPDATE: Now you can read the first five chapters of IL PAESE DELLE DONNE for free (ePub format).

The main themes are post-war deseases, brain damages, abuse countermeasures, mental control and, of course. technology and cyberculture

This is the book cover, designed by me.

CODE

I mainly write open source code for the backend with LAMP stack and with Angular or Flutter for the frontend. 

Fundamental things I believe about society and life

• Fixing (if still possible) the climate change issues should be the main goal of humanity right now. We don't have enough information, so we should move as if the worst forecasts will become true.
• Redistribution of wealth is one of the main goals of society. People in economical struggle should be helped using money from taxes and other public resources.
• There is a systematic bias against women, even in very developed countries.
• Life is too short to work like crazy for most of its part.
• Intelligence is positively correlated with being nice to others.
• God likely does not exist, but there is no way to prove it.
• Arts are one of the few things worth life's best efforts. Programming is art, if done in certain ways.
• Modern programming is becoming complex, uninteresting, full of layers that just need to be glued. It is losing most of its beauty. In that sense, most programming is no longer art nor high engineering (most programs written at big and small corporations are trivial: coders just need to understand certain ad-hoc abstractions, and write some logic and glue code). Only very few programmers are facing the artistic face of programming. Only very few programmers are facing high engineering in programming.
• Artificial Intelligence will completely reshape our society very soon. If a universal income is not provided in a timely fashion (as AI makes many workers no longer relevant) we are going to be in big trouble.
  (These thoughts and the the theme of the website are taken from Salvatore Sanfilippo webpage. Hope he will not get upset for this.)
