But in the real world, every if statement, every tiny decision, every deadline, and every project big or small leads to some kind of burnout. I’ve had several...

Artificial scarcity

And it is incredible that in 2022 this thing still works. Like some scammers in Romania that teach you to...

New monitor in setup

This week I received the new portable monitor that I ordered last weekend. I mainly ordered it for when I am on the go and I really need the second display (because I have the 14″ Macbook, you know…. tiny). But since I got it, why let it get dust on it and not use...

What brings me joy

This is entry #5 for the Bloganuary challenge. Today’s prompt is “What brings you joy in life?” There might be days when I am down, days when I am very happy, or regular/normal days. There might be periods of time when I am in the mood for coding and stay at the office desk more,...

What is a treasure that’s been lost?

This is entry #4 for the Bloganuary challenge. Today’s prompt is “What is a treasure that’s been lost?” I am going to be grim in today’s post. A treasure humanity has found one day but lost again nowadays is peace. I live in Romania, an eastern European country located near Ukraine. The war that Russia is...

Am I really brave?

This is entry #2 for the Bloganuary challenge. Today’s prompt is “How are you brave?” I never considered myself a brave person, but now that I think about it… there might be some part of bravery inside me. Why? Because I have a higher risk tolerance than others, and you need to be brave for...
