This is super cool. Are you guys hiring remote engineers in Europe? I am an electrical engineer turned developer. I would love to be able to work on something that merges both to s…

I just switched to Linux because Windows is _really_ bad lately. I recommend Linux Mint. It has the windows feel for sure. I am not exaggerating when I say it works better than Win…

Recently switched to Linux Mint from Windows and it has not only been good. It has been cathartic. I enjoy computers again! I am self-hosting some services, what an absolute joy.

I’ve been using Windows my entire life. In the past, I tried Linux without much success, switching back within a few weeks. However, Microsoft’s software is just beyond bad these d…

That definitely sounds like Mexico.

Oh boy this was a good one

Credit cards offer rewards which are really beneficial to people that properly use them. In my country, credit cards are safer because they offer better fraud protection mechanisms…

I have found that it’s way more effective to reward good behavior than to punish bad behavior. Rewarding good behavior takes more effort than punishment though. It requires more pa…

I don’t have kids. However, this same concept can be applied, and verified, with dogs. I have made it a rule to never deceive my dog, and she trusts me because it. If I pick up her…

This post really resonates with me, specially this line > Just keep in mind the cost you’re paying, and be extremely cautious if you ever find yourself resenting your downtime. Cur…

Reading your website I've understood that your customers need to send you a complete set of architectural plans and you use your software to generate the MEP plans. Currently I wor…

Thank you. You can be average and still make a small dent in the world.

The problem is that the things you mentioned(car with cash, helping kids, community projects, etc) are average. And there is nothing wrong with it, I know. It is not about trying t…

That is it. I am aware of that fact, I am absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. How do you deal with that?

I have been thinking about this recently and it is deeply bothering me. Even if you are good at what you do(heck you may be slightly above average) you will still not be the best. …
