Walking 📝

I am walking along the street. My whole body is tingly. My vision cuts in and out at random moments.

Installed a MineCraft server for my daughter today. That was simpler than expected :-D

Now I want to code a MMOPGR again OO

This is amazing:

I made a game. It’s called Flappy Dird. It’s Flappy Bird inside MacOS Finder.

I was at a presentation / networking event at my alma mater. I’m proud of myself that I was able to do this. And it was very interesting to listen to the presentation (about cyber security). And talk to other people there.

Dust 📝

I sit in front of my computer. The electrician cuts at the concrete in the next room with his angle grinder.

It feels strange to go out of the house so early for work. But sometimes it needs to be done.

Todays lesson: Do not sow a hole in your pant s while wearing them Oo

I hate migraine!

📺 Watched the last episode of Ted Lasso yesterday - not realising that it was the Final episode. I liked the ending, but it also made me a bit sad. Would love to see more in this universe.

Sooo good!

A dream is a dream, with random signals creating unique patterns of activated neurons in our brain. We search for sense and order in patterns. Known patterns help us feel safe and manage life.

I’m so happy with espanso just today again noticed how much time it saves - when you have set it up. I use it a lot when I write about people my surroundings.

For example I can write : pm&m and it gets replaced with M&M ([[persons/marc-example|👤 Marc Example]] & [[persons/matilda-example|👤 Matilda Example]]).

It is “nice” when you find out that the temporary timetable for the kitchen renovation is the real one – and it starts next week OO.

Finished the first season of The Morning Show 🎥 today. I liked the acting and story. But I need a break of all the drama OO

A good post about what to do as a regular developer in a project. But the content is important no matter what you exact role is.

So here’s the opportunity that you have as a bottom-of-the-pile developer: making connections!!!

But if you come to me with a request rather than a defined task, I say that a senior digs in; asks questions; finds out more; challenges assumptions; takes steps back to look at the broader picture; and does some “systems thinking”, before knuckling down.

I usually does not take long to destroy any hope of getting it done for the release they want it :-) But it is important to have persons knowing the whole system and knowing what I going everywhere. Especially when the team is split over multiple (external) persons.
