Facebook videos – bad UX?

I absolutely hate the Facebook videos UX. Everywhere you go on the internet, clicking a video pauses the video itself. Not on Facebook. Here, you click the video and it expands and goes to the dedicated video page. Ok, maybe sometimes I want that. But even in those cases, the UX is bad. That’s because...
Right now I am not listening to anything on

My Stages as a Programmer

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...

Raycast wrapped

I installed Raycast at the end of February this year, so the data you can see in the picture below is almost for the whole of 2022 year. I find it interesting that Whatsapp and Outlook are the most open apps, but I think I know why: I keep VSCode and PhpStorm almost always open...

My 2022 setup

You know the drill… new year, new setup. Not entirely true, I don’t plan on switching my setup every single year, but I made some changes this year that are worth mentioning. You can read my 2021 setup post here. The main thing I started to miss in 2021 after I built my powerful Hackintosh...

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...

Building PayForSpace – Episode 1

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...

I will start streaming and live coding this week

I have been watching a ton of live coding lately and I really think it is something powerful and nice of other developers. Then, I saw this tweet by Florin Pop: I don't care when people say that coding streams will never be as big as gaming streams. You might be right, BUT, I'm going...

On taking bold stances (WordPress vs FLoC)

Google is known for wanting to know as much as possible data about its users so those pieces of information can be worth more when selling. That is what FLoC, their new idea, basically does: they are trying to replace cookies with a new thing so they can go around regulations, especially in the EU....

How I started my programming journey

I always had a thing for computers now that I think about it. I was maybe 5 years old when my dad bought a 386 computer with MS-DOS on it and I was blown away by it. I used to have two “games” in MS-DOS that I could play: a starship shooting bullets and floating...

The problem with perpetual licensing

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know should know by now the perpetual licensing pattern: you buy a license to certain software, you receive updates for a year or two, depending on the license, then you stop receiving updates for the app and you can use that version forever. The main problem with...

Guess it's obvious, but the theme is created by myself with Tailwind CSS. You can find the source code here.
I still use WordPress 🧡. The theme is custom Laravel though 😎.
