Hi, I’m Razvan. I’ve been writing code since 1998, podcasting since 2011, and building things for the web, the cloud, and a few clever devices in between. These days, I run Burzcast — a small, trusted software company focused on building custom solutions with a bit of AI, a lot of cloud, and plenty of care. We work with good people and interesting problems, usually for the long haul.

 
We’re trying to bring you in—not just as a colleague, but maybe even a work friend, someone we can rely on, collaborate with, and grow alongside. We want to know more about you—not because we like asking awkward questions every time we meet, but because we genuinely care about finding the right fit. Nobody likes being asked about their passion over and over again, and honestly, we shouldn’t have to if it shines through your work and presence. We want to see your passion, your personality, and how you align with the team and our shared vision. If we see that, we’ll open up to you, take responsibility for your success, and treat you with the respect and care you deserve. Together, we’ll share the vision, work toward common goals, and look out for one another. That’s the foundation of any great organization, and we want you to be part of it. But before we can do that… who are you, exactly?
Breaking free from the one-up culture liberates you to form more authentic connections, fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. It’s time to triage your friends and acquaintances, setting boundaries with those who perpetuate this toxic behavior and surrounding yourself with genuinely supportive individuals who prioritize empathy and genuine connection over competition.
Is blogging still relevant in 2024? Absolutely. Blogging enhances personal branding, boosts SEO, and provides a space for deeper audience engagement and content control. Unlike social media, blogs offer lasting value and opportunities for monetization and networking. For me, it's a way to share passions like coding and podcasting, connecting with a like-minded community. Invest in your blog, own your content, and create lasting value for your readers.
