What is something I want to achieve this year?

This year I’ve decided to join the Bloganuary challenge and respond to a prompt daily. This is a good exercise to write something daily. Today’s prompt is “What is something you want to achieve this year?“ This year something I want to do is start reading. I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts and video...

Trading is not gambling

Lately, I have been attracted to the trading world. Lots of my free time went into learning this world, concepts and strategies. I’ve lost some money, I’ve re-gained it back, I am building a strategy for myself. But often I hear people that say trading is gambling, or the same type of thing. No. Trading...

What I like about the US #1

I will start a small series of quick posts about things I like in the US versus my own country/Europe. Today I am going to talk about clothing. I like that I can go to Walmart and buy a dozen packs of socks – Hanes Cushion. This type of socks: I cannot find good pair...

Romanians and their concern about others

I find it hard to believe that some fellow Romanians are making fun of the US president, either the current one or the past one, but we still have a president that called me and those fellow friends “religiously fanatical”.

Accused of shoplifting!

One of the things that annoy me the most is when we visit a shop, no matter if it’s big or a smaller neighborhood one, it that anyone is suspected of being a shoplifter. Have you ever experienced this: you visit a small shop, maybe one in your neighborhood… and exactly where you’re looking for...

Afraid of an IT job market crash?

Started wondering a few weeks ago if the IT job market is in a bubble right now… wondering this because there seems to be an incredible market opportunity right now to get a new job. Got a ton of calls, received a lot of emails, and let’s not forget about LinkedIn where I get leads...

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...

Guess it's obvious, but the theme is created by myself with Tailwind CSS. You can find the source code here.
