As a polyglot dev with experience in JS, Python, Scala, Clojure, Java to name a few, Clojure is hands down in another league compared to all the rest. My experience is with Clojure is my productivity is a magnitude higher next to others. Th

There is simply no contest on acceleration, ease of use and cost of ownership. In Europe gas prices alone should kick over the transition to EVs. Currently only basic emotions and resistance to change are holding back a flood. Human behavio

my number one meter is sleep quality. Two burnouts after this is the most reliable metric. Two nights of poor sleep is serious, very serious. I've learned to take action to prevent prolonged stress, even changing gigs with my dream sta

I paid 30000 euros for roofing for a house a little bigger than that. I would have danced naked on the streets for 20k.

100% merino wool hiking/running socks are perfect for hot and humid. I've ran +20 hour ultramarathons in hot conditions with them. They are much better than cotton. Plastic socks are good for 1 hour gym sessions.

what if .. the story of there being a god separate from you is just a story. The nondual or advaita insight is that you are divine already, just pretending not to be. It goes deeper than that and should not be made another story but experie

it will get worse. Governments choose to fight the people instead of changing their agenda of driving us towards extinction. Expect Extinction Rebellion to grow fiercely and protests to expand all over the planet.

Spotting a junior dev working over their capacity is the responsibility of seniors to tell them to take it easy. Remember how they (and yourself) worked you to the bone and how it would have helped if someone would have stepped in early. Yo

Did it result in burnouts? I was part of such a mess and two out of four team members got burnout, myself one of them. It did teach me to get the fuck out early the next time I feel the same emotions of inadequacy and pressure on me. And in
