we're hiring builders.
don't send a cv.
send what you’ve shipped.
projects. products. design. github.
show taste. show ownership.
late nights. early mornings.
you only get a few real shots.
if you believe in what we're building, message me.
remote in europe + north america.
bonus if you grew up on minecraft.

I knew Python… but couldn’t build anything useful 😐
That’s when the real Python lesson hit me.
Problem:
I understood syntax.
Loops, functions, lists - all fine.
But every time I tried to start a project, my mind went blank.
Fix:
Stopped “learning Python” and started using it for problems:
• Automated file cleanup → learned os
• Parsed CSVs → learned pandas
• Hit real APIs → learned requests
• Broke code daily → learned debugging
Result:
Python stopped feeling abstract.
It became a tool, not a subject.
🎯 Lesson:
You don’t get better at Python by knowing more concepts.
You get better by solving boring, real problems with it.

AWS Case Study: Certification → first cloud role in 90 days ☁️🚀
This is what actually moves the needle.
📌 Background
A non-IT graduate passed AWS Solutions Architect Associate.
Certificate in hand… but no job calls.
📌 The mistake
He treated the cert as the finish line.
• No projects
• No architecture thinking
• Resume = buzzwords only
• LinkedIn profile looked generic
🔍 What he changed
He spent the next 45 days doing this:
• Built 5 small AWS projects (Free Tier)
• Drew architecture diagrams for each
• Wrote README files explaining decisions
• Added cost + security notes
• Updated LinkedIn with project stories, not cert hype
⚙️ Projects he showcased
• S3 static website + CloudFront
• Serverless API (Lambda + API Gateway)
• EC2 Auto Scaling demo
• CloudWatch monitoring setup
• IAM least-privilege lab
🚀 Result
• Recruiters finally replied
• Cleared 2 technical rounds
• Landed a junior cloud role in 90 days
• Certification + projects = credibility
💡 Lesson
Certifications open doors.
Projects get you inside.
If your resume shows how you think, interviews follow.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. ~ Einstein
My current sabbatical in New Orleans got me rethinking the meaning of work, the universe, everything. We are at the doorsteps of machine super intelligence (ASIs), what will remain are only what’s human. Intuition of the Culture girl in Iain Banks’ Consider Phlebas could out guess Minds a million times smarter than her. What else can we, I do in the coming age?
I have 2 ideas. I’ve not been more excited than since I built isoHunt 25 years ago. I’m going monk mode in my cave
The vibes must flow. Long live the builders!
APPENDIX
Vibe coding is akin to the rise of Jazz around New Orleans. What was considered devil music, low class by uneducated self taught musicians breaking all the rules of classical music birthed whole new inventive genres. I believe this will happen to all sectors of knowledge work. Professionals relying on certifications and established processes with no creativity are not going to have a good time
I also hate the word artificial in ASI. First, there won’t be AGI, we are the general intelligence. ASI should be rebranded to be more accurately MSI. There’s human intelligence, and there’s machine intelligence. Artificial will be like a racist word. We will coexist like in the Culture

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
