About Ravlik — Slow, Steady, and Solid Tech

Welcome to Ravlik.com.

This blog is the creation of a web developer with over 20 years of experience in the trenches of code, and a deep-seated enthusiasm for the world of AI.

It began from a simple belief: the best way to truly understand a topic is to teach it. This site serves as a digital notebook—a place to document the journey through the ever-changing worlds of web development, Linux, and now, artificial intelligence.

So, why the name “Ravlik”?

“Ravlik” (равлик) is the Ukrainian word for “snail.” In a world obsessed with speed and “moving fast and breaking things,” the snail is a reminder of a different approach: slow, steady, and deliberate progress. It represents the importance of building a solid foundation of knowledge, one concept at a time. That’s the philosophy behind every article you’ll find here.

This blog is for you if:

• You’re tired of surface-level tutorials and want to understand the “why” behind the code.
• You’re a developer looking to master CSS and build beautiful, responsive layouts.
• You’re a student or professional setting up your first Ubuntu server and need a clear, step-by-step guide.
• You’re curious about the practical applications of AI and how to integrate them into your projects.

The mission here is to create the resources I wish I had when I was starting out—thorough, practical, and focused on solving real problems.

If that sounds good to you, I invite you to start with this guide on [Link to a good starting-point article].

Let’s build something solid together. You can follow along for tips and updates on X (formerly Twitter) and check out some creative AI experiments on Suno.
