Timeline cleanse! One of the best programs in Barcelona: En Bici Sense Edat (by bike without age). People with reduced mobility are able to ride in back of bikes around the city, even to the beach.

Also, can you imagine having such a big ego that you write an entire public article about a city you don't even live in?
Insane. 🤯

I read the garbage opinion article on immigration in London, written by a Danish immigrant who lives in Marbella (Spain) and Malibu (US).

What kind of twisted reality distortion does it take to be anti-immigration while being an immigrant yourself? Oh yeah, it's called classism and racism. Got it.

oh yeah, even worse: giving them more work by cleaning stuff that they shouldn't be cleaning in the first place! 😡

Friendly reminder: your office’s cleaning team are coworkers too, treat them in the same way. It’s very easy to say hi and ask about their day. They may not be on your team doing engineering work but they work in the same office.

I absolutely hate when office workers act like they’re invisible. 😤

"Because no one would write an HTTP fetching implementation covering all edge cases when we have a data fetching library in the project that already does that.

No one would write a class when we’re using a functional approach everywhere."

Criticism is always welcome, especially if it is as innovative as yours 😁

If I had known I was shitting on Apple apps to an Apple employee, I might have made some legitimate feature requests. Glad you still enjoyed! 😅

My favorite part of CrossFit is developing gymnastics and weightlifting skills because I love being able to do things I once thought were impossible.

Today, I finally got my coordination and mobility right for my first set of 10 toes-to-bar reps! 🥳💪

I loved Mimi's talk at Future of Coding meetup in London (lu.ma/foclondon), she was so curious, creative and funny 💯

She showed us how she redesigned Apple's Weather app to be more helpful using natural language. You can check out more of her project at github.com/mimireyburn/... ⛈️

This was last night at the Future of Coding meetup in London (lu.ma/foclondon)

@todepond.com gave a very cool demo about how you can create music by coding with strudel.cc and mix it together with others in real time using nudel.cc 🤯

I don't think a live coding demo can get any cooler than this 💯🔝

I need a water filter for my flat in London.

In Barcelona, I use this Spanish company that provides you with water filters for the whole year tappwater.co/products/eco...

They also operate in the UK, so that would be a good option. Do you know any other UK company that I should consider instead? 🤔

Water Filter for Tap | Kitchen Faucet Filter | Tappwater

Elevate your water quality with our EcoPro Water Filter for Tap. The world's most sustainable faucet water filter for clean tasty tap water straight from the tap. Easily attachable to your sink, enjoy...

When you're at a coworker's birthday party and they introduce you to their friends, it's a very good opportunity to find out what they really think of you.

My coworker: "This is Marina and she can do 100 pulls-ups."

Even though I live in the UK, I've kept my Spanish number but almost every day I get AI calls trying to sell me something or scam me. It's gotten so bad I've had to disable the eSIM.

Anyone else dealing with this? Any solutions? 🤔

"According to a 2024 report by Salesforce, 62% of customer services in Spain are already automated by AI. Today, it’s easier to converse with a machine than with a real person. The problem is that no one likes it."

The bewildering phenomenon of declining quality

Airplane seats are getting smaller and smaller, clothes are unrecognizable after the second wash, and machines now answer our calls. Quality and care for craftsmanship seem to be things of the past
