Why I Started Single Concern

Welcome to Single Concern, my virtual space!

My name is Tayfun, and I graduated in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, with a particular interest in software engineering and artificial intelligence.

I find the idea of sharing projects, reflections, and decisions made throughout one’s professional career particularly interesting.
Many things we learn gradually fade over the years until they are forgotten. This is even more true in our field, where everything moves at an incredible pace.

For this reason, I would like to keep track of what I do, what I learn, and above all, the decision-making process behind the choices I make.

The goal of this blog is precisely that: to build a public space, entirely managed by me, where I can freely share my point of view on the topics I have studied and gained experience in.

Writing forces us to clarify our thoughts. Documenting is valuable both for myself and for anyone who reads it.

One of the core principles I appreciate most in software architecture is the Separation of Concerns (SoC). Dividing a system into multiple parts, each focused on a specific problem, brings many benefits: reusability, extensibility, and maintainability, just to name a few.

It is a concept that I have always tried to apply across the different programming languages, frameworks, and projects I have worked on. This way of thinking can also be applied to real-world problems. For example, how we study, reason, and break down complex issues.

That explains the name of the blog: “Single Concern” comes directly from this mindset.

While writing my articles, I will use artificial intelligence as a support tool. The goal is to write the way we used to some time ago: manually, one paragraph at a time.

Perhaps this is a somewhat unconventional choice, especially at a time when AI is being used almost everywhere to automate more and more activities. However, I would like the ideas and reasoning shared here to be the result of my personal experience and genuinely mine. The interesting and rewarding part is precisely this: writing and communicating in my own voice.

At the same time, I do not want to rule out AI-generated articles altogether. If I ever publish one, it will be placed in a dedicated category so that this is always clear and explicit for the reader.
