About me
Who writes here, and why.
I’m Roel Van Steenberghe. I combine teaching at Odisee university college with running my own business, and I’m currently working on an assignment for ACA Group, the IT company that acquired vBridge, my previous company. That combination leads to fascinating insights and anecdotal wisdom, and a blog is simply a nice way to air them. In recent years my posts mostly appeared on other sites, but the time is right to bring my musings back to a domain of my own. I’m not committing to any particular frequency, so quiet and busy periods will probably alternate.
Why this blog
I believe knowledge only comes into its own when it is shared. That is even more true in the age of AI, although I keep strict boundaries for myself. You won’t find any AI-generated text here. I allow myself the pleasure of writing, which makes the language a little more colourful than an automated version would be.
The use of AI on this site is strictly limited to:
- setting up the site and its infrastructure
- as a research tool
- automatic translation and spell checking.
