I came to a realization that most engineering work these days is working on systematically preventing disasters.
Building systems where mistakes of certain class of bugs are not even possible (e.g. content access levels, rate limits, etc.)

How much time you have left in today?
I'm releasing a new mini-app. Built on the thesis that if you visualize your passing time, you're less likely to waste it.
It won't tell you how to spend it. That's something for you to figure out.

What I fear the most is losing the ability to notice beauty in the world.
The day beauty turns mundane in my eyes and ears, there's nothing left of me in myself anymore.

Finally got around to writing my retrospective for 2022.
This is something I started doing last year. It helps me gather my thoughts about everything that has happened over the previous year. Writing it gave me so much perspective and self-reflection.

Some portfolios have a "Now" section to show off what you're working on these days.
I decided to make a step even further and I added a real-time "Now" indicator. I'm currently traveling, so I also added a little map with my current location if you try clicking on it.

I claim that it's real-time, but in reality, it's connected to a specific Google Calendar and fetches data from there.
With this, I can easily put information into this calendar about what I'm doing, where I'm at, etc.
Then my website just fetches the data and displays it.
