This weekend, I finished reading “The Art of Spending Money” by Morgan Housel. If that name rings a bell, it’s probably because of his mega-bestseller “The Psychology of Money” from a few years back. He also writes a blog well worth reading. I never read “The Psychology of Money” because, from skimming the table of...

For the longest time, I was an article hoarder and jumped from one read-later app to another. But most of the time, it stopped at the hoarding part and never got to the reading part. Until I found out from Marcel that there is a superior way to manage articles you want to read. I’m even a bit ashamed to admit that...

In the hectic world that software development seemingly has become, reading “The Joy of Building Slow” by Andy from !Boring1 felt like a breath of fresh air. And it deeply resonated with me. The current zeitgeist (at least according to my YouTube feed) seems to be to create apps in the shortest amount of time...

Back when I first started designing and coding things for the web, one of my favorite channels was the one from a designer named Mackenzie Child. In hindsight, one of his videos had a huge impact on me. Despite it being a simple video with a simple message: But the great thing about our world today, with the...

It’s been almost two years since launching this blog. Back then, I used to write very frequently on here1. But since then, that habit of writing daily has faded quite a bit. And especially lately, my brain felt very scattered across different things that are very important to me when it comes to creating and...

Although the occasion is very devastating, I still found the quote below worth sharing. For context, the whole interview revolves around uncertainty in life and how to cope with it from a philosophical angle. Philosopher Wilhelm Schmid (translated): […] There is also the other side of life, where something...

Recently, I listened to this great interview with the creator of Claude Code, Boris Cherny: If you don’t know, Claude Code is currently widely considered the gold standard when it comes to agentic engineering. So his words carry a lot of weight. What you’ll immediately notice when you hear Boris talk is how calm and...

Ok, hear me out here. Two days ago, I posted this note: With the exams finished and my new personal website out in the world, it's time to dive into the world of iOS development again 🥳 I will talk more about the app in the next couple of days, but as a little teaser, here's the icon :) Well… maybe not anymore....

Last Sunday, approximately 1.5 years after its launch, my old website got retired1, and this new one got published. Maybe you’ve seen it already these past couple of days – if not, then welcome! In this post, I want to give you a glimpse behind the scenes, some decisions I made and why, and where we’re heading....

If I had to choose one direction, that I could push the IndieWeb towards for the next couple of years, it would be the social route. Just having a personal website, which already makes you part of the movement, can be incredibly lonely without any additional tools. This is definitely something we need to improve....

It’s the beginning of December again, which means Spotify Wrapped has just dropped. Like last year, I want to share mine here and encourage you to do the same, so we can all discover some great music :) This year, Spotify used a TikTok-style vertical scroll for Wrapped instead of the old Instagram Story format. I...

From “I love calculator” by Andrej Karpathy, founding member of OpenAI: The calculator is incredible. […] To perform its function it only requires light (thanks to its tiny solar panel on the front) […]. If you traveled back in time with this little thing that you can hold in the palm of your hand and gave it to...
