If you read this post you might be wondering what’s up with that USA flag in my office? Filip, I thought you are Romanian. Well, that means you did not read my old posts from this blog. You might start from this post called “Why we’d like to move to the USA?” and you’ll get...

You know the drill… new year, new setup. Not entirely true, I don’t plan on switching my setup every single year, but I made some changes this year that are worth mentioning. You can read my 2021 setup post here. The main thing I started to miss in 2021 after I built my powerful Hackintosh...
Also: Keep up to date with the fast-paced changing scenery of the tech world. Back in 2012 when I got my first programming job right after I graduated high school, I did not have any experience with PHP frameworks, I’ve mainly used plain old PHP for my freelance websites and the only thing closer to...

Do you know those Facebook posts and pages that randomly appear in your feed and you get some real facts? I did not follow any of them, but Facebook seems to know that I like those and randomly shows me those kinds of posts from time to time. A normal human being would read the...

On the 2nd of December I finally decided to make a major upgrade to the device I am working on so I decided to get a Macbook M1 Max, the top configuration with 64GB of RAM and 2TB storage. The problem is that in Romania you only have two options if you want to configure...

It’s been 3 (almost 4) months now since I moved on to my next contract and it’s been quite a nice ride until now. I noticed that even though I planned on writing more stuff on this blog, I’ve been kind of inactive and I hate that. So here I am making a retrospective of...

This week the Diversity Visa 2023 just opened. We did not apply yet, we still have to make good photos for all 4 of us, but we will most certainly apply for the second year, the second try. This year we’ll submit two applications, one for me as the main applicant and one for my...

I’ve started to build this app called PayForSpace really fast and one thing I don’t like about this thing is that I am forced to make compromises. After I checked out the Elrond gateway documentation, I saw that I am only able to get the last 20 transactions and that includes both sent or received...

Wow, my second stream already. This time I’ve streamed for a little bit more than 2 hours. I’ve continued working on the PayForSpace app and added some new features: Every box has an identifier Each box type has a price We created a new database table and a table to store data Once anyone buys...

Well… the good news it’s that the hard moment of starting the first stream in a foreign language has passed! Yeah, today I had my first almost-2-hours stream on Twitch where I started building the PayForSpace app. I’m gonna embed the Twitch recording here at the end of the post, but first, let me summarize...

I have been watching a ton of live coding lately and I really think it is something powerful and nice of other developers. Then, I saw this tweet by Florin Pop: I don't care when people say that coding streams will never be as big as gaming streams. You might be right, BUT, I'm going...
We started timidly, with low hopes but confident that if it's God's will, one day we will move to the United States of America.
We participated in the visa lottery for 4 consecutive years and on May 4th,

We owe everything to God, He will help us until the end.

You have really presented this well. Are you going to let Xarthisius publish this on his website?
Hello Filip, Sorry for not replying earlier My number is 2024OC22xx.
Nice. I like the breakdown format that you have done here. Really informative. Are you going to be allowing Xarthisius…
