Week 17, 2024 - Substack and AI Assistants

What an awesome week, full of spending time with great people. I managed to publish my thoughts on why companies should go one step beyond just tolerating, and fully embrace Celebrating Failure. I finished yesterday afternoon, and the first feedback is great, somebody even added that FAIL is just an

Week 16, 2024 - Tidying Up

I spent 45 minutes Thursday morning cleaning up the walking labyrinth and its surroundings that I discovered last week. All the trash, cigarette butts, beer cans, paper tissues, pieces of plastic toys, candy wrappers, and empty bottles created a strong contrast with this peaceful little forest not far from the

Week 15, 2024 - Slow circles

Monday morning I discovered the above labyrinth nearby and spent some time trying to walk it. Slowing down between taking the kids to school and starting the day felt energizing. In the spirit of trying out new things, I also went to my first-ever yoga class this week, and found

Week 14, 2024 - Writing, debugging and history

We saw the temperature climbing consistently above 20ºC this week, allowing us to fit in a nice small hike. Our noisy steps startled a deer couple, causing them to run away right before us. It’s great to be out in nature. That said, I took the above photo right

Week 13, 2024 - On Newsletters and the next Tech Radar

Happy Easter if you celebrate it — otherwise, enjoy a nice spring weekend. This issue got a bit long, I almost moved my thoughts about the new Tech Radar to a separate article to keep the size down. Eventually, I decided to keep it here: there’s a structure emerging in

Week 12, 2024 - Homelabbing, Leadership and AI Music

🦸 What I learned this week Oh boy, did I learn! I haven’t spent this much time in the terminal for ages. I received the replacement SSD on the weekend for my 2011 Mac Mini and spent most of the week playing with it and learning about virtualization, networking, and

Week 11, 2024 - Mobile development and AI in the terminal

This newsletter is going out a bit early, today we celebrate the 1848 Revolution in Hungary, and I’m planning to spend the day with family. I managed to attend the Craft Conf mobile development meetup this week. It appears that the industry is moving in two opposing directions simultaneously:

Week 10, 2024 - Flowers and AI

Spring is here! No doubt now. The other day I was walking around with a light jacket only, and more and more often I can have breakfast on the balcony. And the tulips are starting to show their heads in our garden! Back when my daughters were younger, for a

Week 09, 2024 - Rock and Roll

The blog is 1 month old now, and just like this week, February seemed to go by pretty fast. I had a good talk with a friend about mindfulness, and he shared a quote that he found funny in its absurdity (and I agreed with him): How to walk a

Week 08, 2024 - 3D prints and reflections

This week flew by filled with meaningful discussions with wonderful people. I’m grateful for the chance to spend time with friends — over lunches, in cafés, through a video meeting, or a simple old-fashioned phone call. I’ve found that audio-only calls, especially when taken during a long walk, enable
