Tech, life and everything else

Published on in 💬 Micro

I’ve found a nice place near my apartment, where I can sit down after a long day of work and can finally work through a few articles from my reading list. It is an old cemetery, which was redesigned as a park. There’s a school next to it, so it’s not that quite, but that’s ok.

No standstill?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

When I reflect on myself like this, I have long had the impression that I am a person who cannot live at a standstill. I always need a topic that keeps me busy, a thing in my life that I can optimize or at least a frequently changing topic that I can dive into.

Why I now mute my watch

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I am a user of a smartwatch. It is already the third smartwatch in my life (first the Sony SmartWatch 3, then the Samsung Galaxy Watch and now the Galaxy Watch 4) and I am actually quite satisfied with it. I always need an easy way to see the time, even when I’m riding my bike and can’t look at my smartphone (being on time is important to me!), plus it counts my steps and gives me the ability to view notifications right on my wrist so I don’t always have to get my smartphone out of my pocket first.

Just for the record: I left Twitter before it was cool to do so. 😊 But seriously, it was the right decision back then and I have no regrets.

Reflecting on my work

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I have been a full-time software developer for over a year now. I’ve since settled in well in the job, and I’m getting along better and better, even if the topics are sometimes still quite complex and difficult to understand, especially when it comes to “historically grown” things.

Published on in ✍️ Posts

Yesterday I announced a spontaneously developed GoBlog feature, reactions. The post also got a lot of reactions, over 900 times the buttons were pressed. But I also got some comments.
