Attractive people dilemma: 1. You get less corrective feedback 2. Skill and kindness become mandatory 3. People project higher expectations 4. Feedback disappears - not mistakes

Isn’t it great when you treat certification exams like PlayStation trophies? Feels just like chasing a platinum - a ton of work, but so worth it.

Trying to run Next.js server-side routes inside the Firebase Emulator, but Postman can’t get a response from the Next.js API endpoint. Logs show the route is hit and a response is generated, but nothing returns to the client. Anyone else seeing this issue? @Firebase @FirebaseDev

If there was one thing I learned in survival, playing Ghost of Yotei and Ghost of Tsushima, it was when to flee and isolate opponents - take them on one by one. So, it’s ok to flee. And duel is dumb in real life - you’ll really get hurt. You can only learn this in Lethal mode.

I love how Bill Clinton mediates conflict in this Masterclass masterclass.com/classes/presid…

The most important thing in life is taking steps you won’t regret. There may be factions or disagreement, but if you stood for something — even if it failed — at least you can live with it. Sometimes, others only realize later how right you were.

I can tire my body any time. But my mind stays sharp — always thinking about code.

Feeling truly inspired by General Stanley McChrystal’s Masterclass — a reminder to get back on my feet and keep doing what I believe is right. masterclass.com/classes/genera…

Be strong enough to do what we know what is right even after significant pressure.

Played around today. Here's a sample GraphQL running both backend and frontend in Docker: github.com/franznoel/grap…

Looks like I’m job hunting again. The market’s rough right now for software engineers, but I’ll keep going. Software engineering roles are tougher to find these days.

It’s time to focus at work for the entire 10 hours. 😉

That was just it…! It’s done! My purpose is done…! 😌

That documentary ‘What Jennifer Did’ in Netflix really hit me. Sometimes the scariest battles aren’t in the shadows — they’re in the quiet manipulations no one else sees.

In an INFJ–INFP bond: the INFJ is the Prophet, the INFP is the Writer. The Writer rewrites the story. The Prophet accepts the ending — even when it hurts.

The gift and curse of being an INFJ: You see people even if they’re not ready to be seen. You love gently, quietly. And when you walk away… they remember. Everybody does.

Sometimes you protect someone knowing they may never understand - or even thank you. Like Batman, you take the hits, fade into the shadows, and let them think they saved themselves. Because it’s never about the credit. It’s about making sure they survive the night.

Spotify Smart Shuffle gives me an emotional heart attack when the playlist doesn’t match the feelings I expected. I came for healing, not heartbreak. 😏

@ElonMuskAOC What are you trying to promote…? Don’t even think about a civil war.

Who would win?
