What I really dislike about myself is that I seem to be unable to focus properly on one thing at a time. I get excited about something, start doing that and five minutes later I see some other shiny thingy and I just have to start chasing that and so on. A great example of […]
Open the Windows
Since I started doing any programming at all I never thought about using Windows. The choice was always between either Linux or macOS. When I took my first steps with Python I used Linux. Fast forward a few years and when I started programming again (this time with JavaScript) I used macOS. I had (still […]
I’m so excited
I have struggled a lot to come up with a new interesting project that I could do and improve my skills while doing that. It has actually been always a problem for me. It’s really hard to figure out what to do that would be both interesting to do and useful (for me or others). […]
Django (unchained)
I spent last weekend doing some stuff for school and there was an assignment to make a personal site. I already had one but I had been planning to make a new one for a while so it was time to get my hands dirty. I think I said that I’ll make a blog for […]
A cup of Java
I have an ongoing process to update my pages but it is a rather slow one. Usually during normal weeks I manage to squeeze around 5-10 hours to do some coding for my own projects. And that is the best case scenario. I have these great visions of how I want my blog and page […]
Type type type
Not too long ago I switched jobs (again) but hopefully for the last time (at least for a few years). Now I finally get to do for a living what I love to do which is code. Officially my title now is Software Engineer but I don’t feel worthy of it. Not yet at least. […]
A glimpse into the future
For a while I got sucked into the flashy but messy thing called front end development. Even though I had said before that it ain’t for me. But yet I found myself doing web dev with focus on front end and I did like it. Making things with Vue felt natural and fun but I […]
A blast from the past
Not so long a go I got an email which was a review of how I spent my time during 2017. Sometime at the beginning of June last year I installed RescueTime to my laptop which I mainly use for development and school stuff. RescueTime logs the time you spent on different things in the […]
New Year and 100 days of code challenge
My New Year’s resolution was to do the 100 days of code challenge. It’s pretty simple: spend an hour coding every day for the next 100 days and tweet your progress every day with #100DaysOfCode hashtag. I am not going to tweet since I don’t really use Twitter but I will (and have coded) for […]
2017
My 2017 summed up (from end to beginning): The mobile app ended up being my last project for this year. Towards the end of this year I had less and less time to spent on coding and more and more of excuses for not having time to sit in front of my laptop and just […]
