Hello dear reader. Long time it's been since something was published on this blog. It is not for the lack of ideas.

It's merely lack of focus on pointing my keyboard towards this blog. I was busy with... work. Changes, projects etc.

Since last time, "vibe-coding" is a thing. For now. Just like script kiddies were back in the days I guess.

What else changed? Oh, my adoption of AI tools has increased. I keep testing and using different tools and approaches. Some worked, some didn't.

I found some particular case where these coding tools have helped me reduce time. But most of the time I still wonder if it would have been easier if I would have done it myself. Including something I haven't done before.

This is an annoying hit-and-miss. Because it's something new, it's unclear to me how it works, what "good" looks like etc. So it's more a feeling. And when AI tools suggest various settings, variables, packages that don't exist, that makes it very frustrating.

Anyway, so back to the updates: yes, work. New projects, new programming languages that I spend my time in. New challenges.

All of this means no time for this blog, no time for LinkedIn (I barely write something there as well). But it's ok. It's just a phase.

What I really miss are the podcast episodes. The ones with guests. And that is something I still have to postpone since it takes too much time and energy that I don't have available right now.

Other than that I can't really complain. Life is good and, with the help of some mentoring, I was reminded that it matters more on what you focus on and that you have control over what you focus on. Otherwise, you will be mostly miserable. I still don't get it 100% right all the time, but it gets me unstuck.

Even though the political climate is difficult locally and externally, even though there are talks of upcoming crisis, meltdowns etc, I am still happily working on what I love. And that makes an entire difference.
