I had a conversation with my Mum. It was cool enough to write about it. Expect some nostalgia.

This is a post dedicated to all the people I consider “my kind of person” – those who share my values and make life a little brighter. If you’re nodding your head while reading this, you’re probably one of them!

I have an issue when I see something fake or unauthentic, especially when it comes to people who either fool or BS me or others.

What triggered me to write this post was one person in my network, who was a regular poster and a very active member. One day, I saw a post from them that said something like: “The most satisfying thing about starting a new job is logging out of LinkedIn and feeling grateful that you don’t have to check it for a while.” They also disabled comments.

The other day, a friend of mine shared an exciting moment—they received a ♡ from a very famous person on Twitter/X. Given their current follower count and reach, this was quite a thing! It made him proud to be noticed by someone he “follows” (someone I respect too, for that matter).

And honestly, it made me happy as well! I hold my friend, and their contributions, in such high regard – so such recognition shouldn’t come as surprise:)

Wish you lots of health, happiness, and success in 2025! 🎉 May you feel love from the people who matter to you and even from the strangers you encounter every day!

As we step into a new year, an idea keeps buzzing in my head… What if big social media platforms just stopped working? Imagine a world filled with meaningful conversations, vibrant communities, and personal blogs—where we don’t spend time discovering the most-watched TikTok video of 2024¹.

During my holiday, I found fulfillment in various activities like coding, woodworking, gardening, and housework. What I learned is that the most rewarding moments are when I fully immerse myself in the task, enjoying the process without fixating on the end result.

Here are some of things that were with me in January. A few tools and a few observations I have made recently. I’m writing about Arc browser, Mastodon and social.lol.

Improving daily work is more important than daily work

I’ve always assumed that DevOps are the people who work between servers and developers. Well… that’s not true!

Believe it or not, but most of the people don’t want to make other people’s lives worse and they don’t plan to ruin your day! At least, I think so:)
