I might be old fashioned, but I think bringing your Bible to the church is important. The Bible is our guidebook, our standard.

If you can carry your phone and wallet to the church or everytime you leave the house, you can bring your Bible as well.

The digital version helps but it is not the same thing, not the same feeling.

Later edit: And yes, my oldest son Joshua reads Romanian and English and he takes his Bible to the Church as well.

PHP vs Python – personal experience

I’m a PHP programmer *most of the time*. I started learning PHP first, at the same time as HTML and CSS, and almost daily since then I coded in PHP. The syntax is elegant, you write code fast and it just works, especially if it is paired with a great framework like Laravel. But the...

Facebook videos – bad UX?

I absolutely hate the Facebook videos UX. Everywhere you go on the internet, clicking a video pauses the video itself. Not on Facebook. Here, you click the video and it expands and goes to the dedicated video page. Ok, maybe sometimes I want that. But even in those cases, the UX is bad. That’s because...

I am working on getting more patience in the traffic, both as a driver and as the right-seat passenger. This morning I was driving back from school and kindergarten and I was really relaxed knowing that I...

My Stages as a Programmer

I don’t know about other programmers, but I find myself in two stages quite randomly. 1 – I love programming. It’s the stage where I feel like the world can change with my lines of code. The stage where I say, “Wow, this is cool, I can automate this because I know programming, let me...

For the first time since… forever, today is the first time when I left home for a few days and forgot to pack my laptop’s charger.

Luckily, this thing charges with any USB-C cable and I have a power brick that is able to charge it, slower than its original charger, but at least I can work.

Is it just me, or anybody likes the coffee to be lukewarm or even cold? I hate hot coffee, I cannot properly feel the flavour.

So I make my cup of coffee and let it sit for 30 minutes or longer. Change my mind.

Why do I like to continue listening to “canceled” people

There’s an increasing trend nowadays. A person makes a mistake, or there are allegations that the person did something bad but nothing is yet proven. Guess what, I also made many mistakes but I am not famous enough and nobody cares. So why do we feel the urge to blame and cancel people for their...

Guess it's obvious, but the theme is created by myself with Tailwind CSS. You can find the source code here.
