FTL Faster Than Light

2021-07

This game has a special place in my heart: - It was my way to cope with the first 2020 lockdown.

Algorithmic Code Challenges

2021-06

Some people hate the so-called algorithmic code challenges, probably because of their overuse in interviews, but to be fair - I love like them.

Justina Valentine Freestyle

2021-05

This one is for the hip-hop fans that can appreciate a good freestyle. It’s not only the first woman to do the five fingers of death, but she did it on top of her head with very hard beats.

Failing on Important Interview

2021-04

I am writing this many weeks later after the events transpired, so this “thingy” would lose its emotional parts, but this may be for good.

Illusions of Time

2021-03

Nostalgia would be a prevalent topic in these journal-like series, so this great video by Vsauce is unsurprisingly the thing of the week.

Anki Flashcards

2021-02

I found out about Anki in a very nice article called How to Make Yourself Into a Learning Machine Although I am yet to try the many good practices mentioned in the post, I did try using Anki flashcards during my interview prep.

Not Just Bikes

2021-01

The first video I watched from Not Just Bikes was sent to me by a friend with a high interest in city planning.

Darkest Dungeon

2020-52

Darkest Dungeon is an indie game I bought on a cyber Monday discount, after seeing in a couple of streams and reading how unforgiving it is (I’m an FTL veteran, I like such games).

Honeypot Documentaries

2020-51

I love watching videos about open source engineers and their projects. Often I will have one of these days where it’s plain hard to motivate myself to work on my projects, or some chore (especially if it’s not that interesting and it feels more like a boring chore).

Walking at Night Videos

2020-50

I’ve watched many of the binaural city walk around city X videos, but it wasn’t until this year’s pandemic that made me fully appreciate them.
