Anyone's started writing their Year in Review posts? I think mine this year will be a different one compared to the previous ones. I've started to enjoy writing more about my reflections so this Year in Review post will be going in that directions as well.

Similar to what I did with todos.aheenam.com, I’m really inclined to build a fully stripped down version of Notion. Just for writing and organising it. Not AI stuff, no calendar or email, maybe not even databases

Shipped a small side project: a todo app for solo devs juggling multiple projects. Built it mainly for myself — to code without AI but also to have a simple enough place to manage my side projects (Notion does not work for me)

In short, different platforms get different versions of me. And for Bluesky I think this is where the nerdy side lives — technical stuff, side projects, dev thoughts. What I've been sharing so far anyway.

Showing up more on social media — My plan for 2026
After rediscovering my values and voice, I'm rethinking how I show up on social media. Different platforms, different sides of me—here's my plan for posting with intention in 2026.

After a few months of trying, I’m back to light themes in my terminal and editor by default. If I ever change to dark mode they will automatically adapt but I barely use dark mode 🙈

Curious, is a popover that opens from a dropdown menu item a bad idea from a UX standpoint?

How does our 10 month old already know that he can swipe on a phone display? And we don’t even actively hand him a device. He hasn’t even any screen time yet. 😮😮😮

Since joining @buffer.com, I've been more active on social media than I've been in years. The team's energy is infectious, and I found myself posting more on LinkedIn, Threads, BlueSky, and Instagram. But with that came an unexpected challenge.

I used to roll my eyes at the AI hype. When my previous workplace announced “Everyone needs to use AI now,” I felt like following a trend rather than solving problems.
Here’s how I went from being sceptical to embracing AI tools:

How I Finally Made AI Work for Me
From skeptic to advocate: How I discovered the right way to integrate AI into my development workflow by taking ownership and focusing on amplification rather than replacement.

Two weeks into my new role at @buffer.com and I'm genuinely blown away. After applying 3 times over the years, I finally got in as a Senior Software Engineer. And honestly? It's everything I hoped it would be and more.

I'm late to realize this but I'm reaching so many people on LinkedIn, would have never thought that. Yes, it also attracts lots of spam but even without, it's a quite useful channel

Showing Settings from macOS Menu Bar Items: A 5-Hour Journey | Peter Steinberger
Why something as simple as showing a settings dialog from a macOS menu bar app took me 5 hours to figure out, and requires 50 lines of code for what should be a one-liner.

Wild part? Fully native SwiftUI despite never writing Swift before. Claude Code helped me learn & ship it. AI can be easily used as a tool for learning new stuff!
