Oh love oh life
O love o life and the question of the spirit. And our constant pursuit to seek absolution.
Being the eldest brother
i was talking to online friends recently about what better dictates an older brother. The reponses i was swarmed with was nothing less than helpful and wholesome. Thanks a lot fellas.
what makes a company culture
What is life?
Resignations
hard decisions
Technology is scary
Whenever you type-in something with your keyboard, your keystrokes are logged to better offer you autocorrect options. You are opting-in to submit all of your text to Google or Apple (microsoft and samsung also offer similar keyboard apps). The thing is, they exclude personally identifiable info so ads and trackers won’t be able to identify you, but is that really real? At what scale should we be all freaked out and start to be conscious about our privacy. Should we really put all of that trust in Google and Apple?. I’m not scare about my porn weird fetishes, but maybe i should.
My birthday
I’m 28yo have had two relationships, but this is my first birthday
Taking breaks
I argue engineers and managers to actively seek to shorten work days and work hours. 9-5 / 5 days is such an arbitrarily concept and it doesn’t translate at all to productivity, in fact counter to that it is the most unproductive thing we might ever have. It is almost always better to walk away from your problems, when you are trying to fix a computer programming bug. Please actively ensure you take good sleep, rest well, be hydrated and exercise your right to ask for vacations. It is not a super-hero or definitely not 10x developer to be working 24/7. We are not hiring for writers, but rather looking for intellectuals and creative tinkerers.
Robots
I argue that people almost turn to the robot mode when they are subject to a very mundane routinic type of daywork. Robot or the executor mode is the safest bet: you don’t get to think a lot, you don’t get to take risks, you just rebeat and always take-on the easy routes. That is fine and can get things done. You don’t necessarily want your Tirhal driver to be creativing about driving…

Let us change the tone
I worked with some Non Government Organizations (NGOs) for some time, not too much to draw any conclusion, but long enough to get to notice some patterns. They are all seem to be well spoken, smart, and have it figured out. They know what they are doing, and they all have this same accent, for the lack of a better word.
The non-achievers
I wrote this post 4 hours before the new year, or my timezone’s new year
9-5
I have not written any post recently (4 months since my breakup post). I want to use this article to discuss some of the ideas i have about “work”, and by work i mean professional work. I won’t be citing anything (at least for now since i’m using this post to get away from working so yeah), so take everything here with a hugge grain of salt.

A friend of mine was faced with his facebook’s posts being printed on money papers
Money’s paper is a special type of papers that only used by authorized companies. It is typically used in the company’s official documents e.g., contracts.

love
There is nothing inherently special about love. But it is still there, it hurts us, it touches us deeper than any feeling there is.
On life and love
Relationships are hard to maintain. It touches very deep parts inside you, it makes you more insecure and usually more dumber. Relationships are hard.

Software takes time. Tradeoffs are imperative
Software takes time and it can be quite unpredictable. I built the first version of noebs, a PoC that basically does nothing but acting as a reverse proxy to ebs in less than a week. It took some years later to add some functionalities that we initially created issues for them in ~ 2019. That doesn’t mean we necessarily spent the 3 years just trying to fix that– simply we shifted our priorities to other issues, or topics.
