2024: year review and a delightful message from my boss. 2025: same goals, same people, same job, but one particular hobby getting into the spotlight

“It’s a widely known fact that most moms are ready to kill someone by eight thirty A.M. on any given morning." Is it just me who thinks this is a genius beginning of a detective novel series? And this, made me realize that the reason this kind of humour works, is because it's actually partly true. So dear moms, children of moms, husbands of moms, wannabe moms... listen, we need to talk.

It's been about 6 months since my internship ended and my tech journey started at a local tech company. It's time to summarize what I have learned so far, and what were the biggest challenges along the way. I still love what I do, and I know how lucky I am to say this. Before this job, I used to stay in front of my code editor about the same time, but would never think I'd be paid for it so soon...

Today was a terrible day. My social awkwardness reached its peak, I also faced some health issues, so I decided to stay at home, put my weirdest green face mask on and enjoy youtubeing (yes, it's a word) for a whole afternoon. And guess what? I stumbled upon this video: 5 Signs of an Inexperienced Self-Taught Developer. It's time for some introspection.

This March started with my very first tech conference attendance. The Limitl3ss conference organized by the 3SS company turned out a great success. Here's a picture of me during the break with an unknown gentleman on my right. (By the way, if you recognize yourself as the unknown gentleman in the photo, please text me asap, so that we can retake this pic properly hugging each other and smiling to a camera. XD)...

I rarely have them from April to October, so maybe it's the lack of sunshine and that I'm getting old, but I found a few activities that help me bounce back. Here's my list. It doesn't work for everybody. It might only work for me, but I share it anyway...

I'll try my best to write as much as possible for this personal blog, so after the second of January, here's an update of how things have been going so far...

Today is Saturday, and I woke up to this scenery. Okay, except for the coffee in the picture, cause that one didn't prepare itself unfortunately. But other than that, just a perfect weekend with fresh snow, no tasks, leftover meals, theatre ticket, healthy kids that can entertain themselves and a brand new book...

I like beginnings. And today is the first day of 2024. Second. Anyway. I started this year in my pyjamas watching the second season of the Reacher, drinking ginger shot and blowing my nose, cause I gut the flu. But. I have a good feeling about this year. It's like getting killed in the first few seconds of a DOTA 2 match. That match is supposed to be a win...
