I've never had to program something does not automatically translate to that concept is never needed, is useless, or no one should ever use.

My grandma never too a flight, but she was wise not to call for an end of air travel.

Each time someone encounters a technical challenge if they run away from it, they becomes an expert at fleeing rather than at problem solving. We need to develop perseverance, the stills to device solutions, and the will to ask for help and collaborate.

I’m probably the only idiot leaving Transylvania on the day of Halloween!🎃

Had a great time with workshop and CodeCamp in Brașov. Now on my way to Niș for Game of Code.

Ran into issues with a task late last night. Slept over it, with hopes for this morning.

It took a dark turn, however. Listened to some hallucinations, edited Perl scripts, installed Python packages, and used a few shell commands, to finally get exactly what I wanted. Phew.

Every developer starts by learning. The real growth happens when you start sharing. 🚀

At #dev2next, @bjschrijver.dev's keynote showed how this simple cycle transformed his career — and how it can transform yours too.
