Until you get to the point you’re an adult, the start of the year is nothing special. But then… you begin to hate it. I am not sure how many expenses there are in your country, but I just had to pay those this month: Car insurance – I have 10 years and a couple...

This is entry #6 for the Bloganuary challenge. Today’s prompt is “Why do you write?” I have an older article about this in Romanian here. I also have this article on this blog subject: I consider this blog my long-running project. Over the years, I’ve contributed to a lot of projects, either on a personal...

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,...

This is entry #3 for the Bloganuary challenge. Today’s prompt is “What is the earliest memory you have?” Our brain is an interesting concept, it tends to forget things to make room for new memories, at least that is how my brain works. But in fact, I think I never forget things but somehow put...

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...
I am a coffee guy – period! I like coffee and sometimes maybe I drink too much of it. I am also a programmer so the perfect stereotype – programmers drink coffee. I drink it for the taste, not to keep me awake. I can drink coffee (maybe even 2-3) and in the next 10...

I have another post with my trial experience from last year, you might have to read that first, this one will be a little different. Read it here. So… if you read my blog you might know that last year I trialed for a job at Automattic. Even if their canned rejection message on Slack...

I am going to be short with this post: we did not win it. We had two chances, both I and Catalina submitted applications but neither of us got randomly extracted. There is still time for us, to hope that this program will not be canceled or a better alternative to legally immigrate to the...

It has been a while since my old iPhone 11 had bad sound coming out from the speaker and the volume was way too low. Probably in all these years, I had all kinds of dirt and debris entered in the speaker place. The same thing with the microphone, it had muffled sound and I...

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...

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...

Thanks! I like customizing my own theme a lot and adding hidden features and easter eggs :)) Not sure if…
That does sound brave, Filip. Finances can leave one feeling powerless, sometimes, and pushing through fear is courage. Thanks for…
