Somehow it seems I’m post-social media: Most of the time I can’t think of anything to share or publish. And frankly, it nowadays sucks to lack a personal identity.

I just don’t get why some certain worldwide spoken language calls it "corn" when there is the beautiful, non-generic and unique word "maize" for it.
Do native speakers even realize that corn simply means grain? 🤔

I wish I wasn't burnt out. I often go for *months* without doing literally anything, living off my savings, until a tiny, god-sent burst of productivity comes along for a few days.

Surely this one very last – promise! – dopamine hit triggered by my thumb swiping that glowing glass rectangle will fix me!

If I could change one thing about the software industry, it would be adding way more quirky humor and whimsy.
And I don’t mean silly meme pics in medium dot dom coding tutorials but instead more original and fresh styles like Nikita Prokopov‘s, for example.

I envy ADHD folks who seem to have a new project idea every 4 nano seconds.
Maybe I should team up with them so we’ll hit a healthy middle ground together by reluctantly bringing my depressive and depressing can‘t-do-attitude into the mix?

If Structured Concurrency is the equivalent of Auto Layout, which many people also found quite a bit too hard to grasp, then what will be the equivalent of the liberating (or scary) paradigm shift that was SwiftUI?

I‘m mad at the world again today. Why are we little more but talking apes? Why do we constantly take advantage of others for money and power? Why do we elect leaders who do their job very poorly?

When it comes to software development, I‘m all about care and quality. LLMs are not. Maybe it’s as simple as that.

Isn't it kinda silly of mathematicians that they don't like to participate in lotteries? I mean, how unlikely would it be that *only* statisticians, of all people, shouldn't be able to win? If they knew anything about their profession, they should know better :P

Whenever I read 'tackle', I just read 'tickle' instead and everything makes a lot more sense. Gotta tickle the upcoming work week, folks!

Because I can never tell if it is a mental health issue or a current state of the world issue I decided to abandon the concept of 'worrying' altogether.

The fact that I completely loose faith in humanity every few days implies that it somehow gets restored in between?

I know it's silly to pick on colloquialisms, but whenever I read the phrase "that's how I roll" I just can't help wondering where to? And tf why?!

I wish Americans wouldn’t pronounce "Das Boot" like something a computer does when starting up. It‘s not that hard.

Truth be told, I‘m an #AppKit aficionado. With all its quirks and shortfalls and strange corners it’s the equivalent of an old house: somewhat smelly, out of style and surely in need of renovation.

We’ve managed to come up with and master the idea of infusing liquids with carbon dioxide and in the process invented „fun drinks“ – I’m asking you: Is there anything at all mankind cannot achieve?!
