An absolute word salad. Dead internet theory

I continue to spend most of my free energy learning Finnish. Only a few more years and I should be able to finally focus on my career again :') Two new projects of note this month, one specific to Finnish language learners, and one that is probably useful for language learners in general: * https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/tsk - A Finnish pocket dictionary with a TUI interface. This is the first nontrivial thing I've…

Are you relocating permanently to Finland? Do you have a blog post of your experience there?

I relocated permanently back in 2021, in fact, soon after finishing up undergrad at Northwestern. I'm a dual US/EU citizen and I moved to be with my Finnish wife. I'm here now!

I don't have a blog post to share. My experience here has been largely positive, modulo the obvious financial caveat: My take home salary really is about ~30% of what it would be had I stayed back in the United States and followed a similar career trajectory. In the long run I think this is an eminently fixable problem, however :)

I've been working on https://nuenki.app, which selectively translates websites as you browse the web so that you can learn languages while you procrastinate.

I'm also doing some electronics - I'd like to make a tool that gives blind people without light perception light perception by putting a lightweight device on their forehead that delivers haptic feedback based on light intensity. I'm doing that with a friend, and we're planning on open sourcing the specs.

Working with clients I realized that many companies lack basic monitoring and observability. E-commerce shops go down and no one notices. DBs do thousands of useless queries per minute. Emails stop sending silently. I’m building a tool to make monitoring setup a no-brainer. I’m talking about basic website monitoring setup in 5-seconds — literally. The problem is not a lack of tools. The existing tools are not even th…

So uptimerobot.com is complicated for you?

After work hours I'm continuing work on my Saas for hairdressers. There's some big players there but I feel like I can at least still try.

I'm honestly really surprised about how much I get stuck on business logic decisions. I went into this thinking making appointments, basic managing of employees and all that would be simple and relatively similar across salons.

Additionally I'm considering where I should move to. I wish to live in a place where owning substantial land for homesteading in a relatively climate safe area (relatively doing a lot of work there but imagine not already arid or with high storm risk) is not completely out of grasp. My region of Belgium is too densely populated for this. Even if I'm not moving to a different country even next year I figured it's the kind of thing that takes a stupid amount of preplanning.

Said someone living in a comfortable country with a stable government. You can’t seriously believe this right?

There is optimum level of state intervention. IMO monitoring people with cameras for speeding is a step too far. I bet you are the same type of person who values software privacy haha

Then why even have speed limits if you don't want to enforce them?
