Every time I walk around my neighborhood — we live in a residential area on the edge of Arad which, technically, is private land, because it doesn’t belong to the city hall yet and the streets haven’t been handed over — I see, especially in spring and summer, that the electric scooter thing has really...

I’m at Auchan right now, and I thought I’d write this post from here, since it’s directly connected to what I want to say. If I had to pick one thing I can honestly call a mini-obsession, it would be bags and backpacks. Everywhere I’ve traveled, I’ve come back with a bag. When I was...

Recently we spent 10 days in Italy, a kind of vacation. Of course I still worked a bit during it (yeah, whoever knows me knows I can’t fully stop), but I still enjoyed the beach, took breaks, worked in the evenings sometimes. It was a nice period overall. But I want to tell you about...

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...
