Hard battle but I won’t let my kid (and future ones) have a phone until teenage years. But then again I started playing on the Gameboy pretty young like 7 years old and that was pretty addicting.

Rarely visiting or even just calling their (grand)parents.

Gotta admit I'm not using my Claude Code subscription to the fullest. Too busy with renovating a new house. But I am trying to build a web-based Esportsfort since Apple rejected new versions of the mobile app.

I don’t understand why you want to make big cities more green. Like, what is your priority? Why would you want to live in a big city? It’s for economic growth and business opportunities. Not a walk in the park and sunny picnics. Go to a nearby village or forest for that.

UN rightly laments that 3.5x more people die in Europe from heat-related causes than do Americans from guns every year, but instead of recommending AC as the obvious answer, these are their suggestions 🤯. Eco death cult.

Still waiting on a foldable iPhone. Or maybe I’m just broke.

My son doesn't usually get screen time, but if we go out to dinner and I bring him, he gets iPad screen time if he wants. There's no reason to torture the kid with adult conversations in the background.

The AI LLM comparisons are getting to "which note taking app is the best" levels.

Every year, developers bring their ideas to life in ways that push what’s possible. These winners showed exceptional innovation, user experience, and design—from accessible game design to supercharging creativity.

Ngl, American tech companies should just forget about Europe and focus more on Asia.

X could just let the EU have their own community notes called EU notes and let their team put the notes on tweets. Then we could see how accurate their information.

Was in Shenzhen a few days ago. I’m super surprised that all cars are electric and there’s no sound at all. Extremely peaceful. The scooter traffic is a bit of a mess though.

Every day it's harder to believe in the European model. The most basic needs like food, healthcare and transport are becoming expensive or incredibly inconvenient. Comparing my experience in the Netherlands to my recent time in China. Food prices are absurd. Even for a basic

Microservices were the reason I started and stopped being a backend engineer. They were easy to understand and start with but they became incredibly annoying to work in.

AI will make software engineering more accessible than ever before, but the top engineers will still be in demand. Everyone has played football at some point in their life, everyone can start playing it. However, only a small percentage gets paid to do it.

Happy New Year to everybody. I truly hope you find meaning and purpose if you haven't already. Wishing everybody the best for 2026.

I don't want to write code anymore. Just want to read. Getting tired of it. Thanks people smarter than me.

Netherlands wanting to ban fireworks because of 1% of the population abusing it for violence, while the other 99% had a great, unforgettable time. My son of 20 months had such a great time watching the fireworks in my neighbourhood. Too bad we have to suffer because of others.
