You are a nerd, you know that?
Almost nobody from my close circle knows about the konami code.
Usually the rickroll music plays when you enter the konami code, but I like to avoid cliches.
I invited John Cena to sing for us!!!!!!!!!

“If it breaks…” – our new car
For every car I’ve bought, I didn’t think too much about it; I’m not the type who knows cars in detail. I only know that it has to take me from point A to point B, and that’s it. Cătălina is the same as me when it comes to this: you see something, you like...

Your own platform is the safest bet
It seems like lately, people are looking for all sorts of new, “free” platforms, but everyone is running away from building their own. There’s something “unique” about social platforms that makes you feel good: followers. I don’t care about the people who follow me, or more precisely, their numbers. I care about having a place...

The Refrigerator Story
An alternative title would be: How not to rush into throwing money away. One day about two weeks ago, an error appeared on our refrigerator and it stopped cooling at all. It had never done this before, and the error code wasn’t even listed in the instruction manual. To make matters worse, it had just...
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.

DV2024 statistics update – 25th of June, 2024
Since I wrote here that I built a scraper for CEAC data to get statistics more quickly than once a week that Xarthisius publishes here, I will start posting updated statistics in between the “official” ones on Xarthisius’ page. I will try to keep the same format every time I post, but as I perfect...

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...

Diversity visa 2025 – we won!!!! ✅
It’s May 4th. May the force be with you day. I came back from a round of board games with our friends, and I tried to check if we won the diversity visa. Of course, the website is stuck from the thousands of visits per second, but after a few minutes, I can check. I...

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...

A thing that I am working on
No, this is not another side project or something regarding my professional life, it is about something personal. 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...
