As I get closer to 40, I end up learning the same lesson repeatedly: choosing the spicy wings is always a mistake.

If you’re placed on PIP as a Python engineer, does typing “pip install” just serve as an irritating reminder? (I guess you could just create a command alias.)

After 15 years of software development (and many years of Android and React Native), I’m finally building native iOS apps. Xcode is missing so many quality-of-life features available to other IDEs in 2024. I didn’t think there was a modern flagship IDE that would make me miss Android Studio.

Every time I make a public mistake at work, I just tell myself that it humanizes me and makes me more relatable.

I’ve spent over a decade building mobile apps for startups, and 90% of that in native apps. I have to say: the vast majority of app-centric startups are making a mistake by not using React Native or Flutter for cross-platform. For most cases, the result is indistinguishable from native for the user.

After half-assing my way through ML training a few years ago, I’m now taking myself through the Huggingface Transformers course. One of the hardest things for me to do (but the most important) is to truly become a student again without immediately looking for ways to achieve real-world productivity.

Too real

submitted 94 days ago • 0 comments

In tech, I’ve seen how far people can go in their career, and I always wonder how far I should try to follow. Then, moving to a smaller town, I see how happy people can be with even a meager living. I’m simultaneously comforted that I have enough while and also afraid of losing my drive to succeed.

I've realized that any answer to a question like "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" is just a projection of what you think will bring you satisfaction in the current moment. The "me" of 5 years ago had completely different struggles and ambitions than I do today.
