Couple weeks ago I decided to stop following news. It has helped my mood tremendously. There are things I can't affect, climate change, wars, plagues and corporates being corporates. I rather focus on the things that I can: people aro

I saw a post where I noticed someone living in my country, sharing my most important values is having problems I've encountered earlier in my life. I sent him a message that if he's looking for someone to discuss with I'm her

This reminds me of a man who told in some Dirt Rally 2.0 Youtube-video comments how spending hundreds of hours on that game saved his family on motorway. Some incident happened before the car and the man was able to avoid the danger safely

Antabuse helped me quiting few years a go. It wasn't THE solution but one of the components in my success. It felt liberating that I didn't have to think that could/should I have a drink. That door was closed.

I fell into Legowelt rabbit hole few years ago. That was basically all I listened for couple of years. Then I was so happy to see him live playing on a small venue on Helsinki 2018. The gig was sold out but I payed good money for the doorma

Try to focus on people around you, family members, team members, friends... How could you serve them, make their day, help them in their struggles.

I own a house but my remote work space is at the basement. There's a small window but it's quite dark and cold here still. Not ideal but way better than coding in the kids' room as I did still year ago.

I just resigned from an early stage startup where I was the CTO. I burned out. Last summer I started asking our CEO if we should raise money to help us (basically me) deliver but he said it's too early as we didn't have many payin

This is inspiring! I just started as a freelancer month ago and it's hard for me to get out from 9-5 mindset. I'm not yet sure if I'm expected to put in full hours or just do my best. At the beginning I worked full days but p

I know what you mean, although my drug of choice is 3 minutes blitz. Lately I’ve gotten into letter chess on Lichess. It’s nice to be able to really analyze position and possible variations. Games last for days and weeks and you get emotion

I’ve been trying to teach my 5 yo kid to play chess. He’s very enthusiastic but there seems to be so many things to learn so he sometimes feels overwhelmed. Today I’m going to test some of the minigames in the book! Very nice, thanks for th
