Wrapped up my final trip to Europe for 2025. Next trip to this part of the world is scheduled for mid January. Had a great time mingling with many developers here. Looking forward already to the next year.

Got delayed at the Geneva passport control (exit) for an hour this morning.

The officers were super nice and kept me updated as I waited.

Apparently there was an issue with their new system and many of my entry and exit over the past few months were not showing up!

I've never had to program something does not automatically translate to that concept is never needed, is useless, or no one should ever use.

My grandma never too a flight, but she was wise not to call for an end of air travel.

Each time someone encounters a technical challenge if they run away from it, they becomes an expert at fleeing rather than at problem solving. We need to develop perseverance, the stills to device solutions, and the will to ask for help and collaborate.

I’m probably the only idiot leaving Transylvania on the day of Halloween!🎃

Had a great time with workshop and CodeCamp in Brașov. Now on my way to Niș for Game of Code.

Ran into issues with a task late last night. Slept over it, with hopes for this morning.

It took a dark turn, however. Listened to some hallucinations, edited Perl scripts, installed Python packages, and used a few shell commands, to finally get exactly what I wanted. Phew.
