There’s an old film starring Michael Douglas that comes back into my mind every few years or so. The story follows a man who played by the rules of the game, only to lose everything anyway. Eventually,

I am two months into a new stage of the “getting healthy” journey. The journey that began two years ago when I decided it was time to lose the weight — that my aging bones could no longer handle the extra

Us humans are fascinated by the idea of morality. Almost all of us, with very few exceptions, think about it often, and carry, for better or worse, an internal compass that guides us. For something so

A fun little story with an important lesson ▶️ 3Speak

I was recently watching, to my own detriment, a conversation featuring Andrew Wilson and several opposing voices. For one reason or another, he seems to be invited onto these platforms quite often. I suspect

There is a hidden cost to putting yourself out there—an emotional cost—one that’s hardly mentioned because most of us are very self-conscious. A Journey of Validation Months ago, when I finally found the

I’m having a political conversation with someone I know is ethically aligned with me. This person, like me, hates how the system has placed its boot on the throat of the common folk. If I hadn’t used a

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve said in the past ten years that I’m an anarchist. To most people, when I say this, it sounds like I’m declaring war against the world. I think that reaction exists because

As with many viral videos on social media, there are always people who feel the need to copy them. A funny sketch, a prank, an inspiring phrase — something designed to hit you right in the feels. Normally

Turns out Senior Devs are still needed after all. You could argue its poetic justice of a kind, and it may be the case. But, I also think its part of the reality of the Bubble we are living in. I like

I can’t remember where I heard the story, but that hardly matters. In truth, there are countless similar stories out there, and plenty of books that deep-dive into the subject. So why do I feel like I

There's probably no need for me to point fingers here. But, this is something that happens on our community. Quite often, somebody has an idea.Somebody shares the idea because they feel inspired, and then

Some pseudo-philosophical thoughts on the current market situation for a rainy Wednesday. This video also doubles as me testing 3speak's newest front-end, but that is another thing altogether. (oops...

Most of the time, when I try to make a point, I find the best way to do so is by telling a story — something I learnt, something I lived, or something I heard. For days now, I’ve been thinking about this

I was visiting my father six or seven years ago, the first time I ever experienced the world of ride sharing, as they call it. For one reason or another, a lot of Uber clones began operating in the big

I've spent most of this week learning about the architecture of a very complex system. As someone who has always been fascinated by puzzles, I think this part of software development feels like candy for

There are times, especially when money is tight, when I consider going back to working for someone else. To clarify, in case anyone thinks I’m waving a flag, I simply mean being someone’s employee again.

It’s crazy to me how easily I can injure myself these days. I mean, it shouldn’t be crazy—I’m getting older—but I forget that fact far too often. Yesterday was one of those times. It was just past five,

I'm testing out a video encoder for 3speak, so I'd figure killing two stones with a single bird might be good. At any rate, I wrote this little story last week. Any similarity with current events is

I was listening to a conversation on Discord the other day, sort of a podcast-style chat. The theme of the night felt prescient to me, especially with things in the U.S. reaching a boiling point. That
