You are a nerd, you know that?
Almost nobody from my close circle knows about the konami code.

I invited John Cena to sing for us!!!!!!!!!

Syntax.fm joins Sentry
My favorite podcast, Syntax.FM got acquired by Sentry. More details about this here. I think I started listening to Syntax (looking through the episode list right now to remember) around January 2018. I did not listen to every episode, but I listened to most of them. I always loved Wes’ and Scott’s dedication to the...

In simple terms: How does a crypto wallet work, how does the blockchain work, and how can you be hacked?
I am part of various Facebook or Telegram crypto groups where inevitably there are also many beginners or less technical users. Often I see phrases like “my funds were transferred to another wallet, but I don’t understand how since I had both pin and face ID authentication”. Let me explain briefly and in simple terms...

Burnouts in web development
People tend to think that web developers have the perfect job: work from home, stay at a cozy office and type some text that transforms into programs. 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...

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...

PHP, CodeIgniter, Laravel, Vue, React, front-end… or how I changed my stack over the course of time
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...

Building PayForSpace – adding a new way to validate transactions
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...

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...

Between contracts
Since when I signed the contract with the current company I am working with now, I never actively searched for another offer or contract. I’ve kept refusing offers because I don’t like being unstable and moving every three months or so for 50 euros extra. I’ve kept refusing until I got an offer from Automattic...
