2026-02-03 — Just got here
As you may have noticed, this page has barely been modified. I have arrived today, so I'm first gonna be making myself at home for a bit. I hope I can soon share a bit of myself with you.
2026-02-04 — Introduction and a bit of my day
I guess it's time to explain a bit what I plan to do with this space.
I'm someone who's currently working on themself, and one of the many things I'm working on is bringing structure to my life.
My objective is to share with you my journey through this little journal. I'm still not sure how much I'm gonna divulge or whether I want to share my real world programming projects.
Right now this is a blank page, and I guess we'll see as we advance.
Today has been a productive day for sure, I have learned a lot and, being about 3 projects in, I'm starting to really feel like I understand what I'm working with. The documentation
starts to feel like home day by day. This makes me feel, I guess, capable? My objective was to become proficient at one thing at a time, and I feel like this is happening.
Therefore, today, I am happy. And writing it down here has made me realise that.
Thank you.
PS: Do excuse the unstructured format of this page. I'm just letting my thoughts and feelings flow on the keyboard.
2026-02-10 — I'm still alive
Hello again :)
I have been a bit busy so I couldn't give an update. Usually I will be writing here when I have some time off in the evening and I'm sitting in the ~club to wind off.
My programming project is advancing at an okayish pace. I would like to dedicate more time to it, but I'm sometimes busy with other important things (socialising, chores, etc.).
But some days I do lose a lot of time just laying in bed or on the sofa, although my rule is that if I want to sleep, that's cool, as long as I don't do other stuff
like doom scrolling, gaming, etc. My brain was just not made for that kind of input, I get distracted and become an escapist waaay too easily.
Sorry if the update isn't too big, my will to share stuff about myself fluctuates a lot. But I plan to come back again with more tidbits about myself.
2026-02-20 — Breakdown
Hey, how's it going?
Today I arrived in a broken and ashamed state. Since last Friday I have actively destroyed the structure I was building for myself and
engaged in self-loathing, amoeba-like impulse-seeking behaviour. But I have come so far, I just need to fill this little hole, and maybe, just maybe, I will make it.
You will hear from me soon again, I hope.
2026-03-02 — Signs of life
Good evening again! Just wanted to give signs of life. It's being difficult right now, but I'm prevailing. I'm trying to come back. I need to come back.
2026-03-10 — My programming project: Update
Hi! I thought I might give a little update on the programming project I'm working on (and why).
I'm trying to pivot into a back end (or maybe a full stack) position as I had been working as a (more or less) front end developer for the past two years. It's hard,
since for now people aren't really interested in my job applications as I am still finishing a title (for which I still need to complete an intern phase and I will be done).
However, I'm not happy with just having a title. I want to work on a portfolio that shows that I can complete projects by myself, specially with the technology I have chosen.
This technology is Java, specifically Spring/Spring Boot.
For now I have completed one such simple project (with this specific technology, I have completed others in other languages). But that one is more of a short POC. Currently,
I'm working on an actual project that I plan to put online for people to use for free. Right now I have finished the back end part, which is the interesting one, and today I'm
starting with the front end. For that, looking at what people are looking for in the job market, I have chosen Angular. As I'm writing this I'm configuring NeoVim to include
an Angular language server and so on.
I know it's a bit of a boring update, but I just thought I'd give a bit of more insight as to what my situation is right now. There's a lot to share about me, but I'm not too
big on dropping it all at once (and it's a lot).
Thanks for hanging around.
2026-04-07 — Internship
Today I had my first day as an intern!
I finished a course (it's sort of a trade school) and the last part is an internship for 317 hours. I was lucky to find a place I could actually program in (most of the places
were about being a CRM/ERP engineer, which would land me back at my old job essentially).
I'm delighted with the people and projects I'm gonna work with. This is my time.
I just wanted to share my mood with you. Whoever is reading. Probably nobody, but it doesn't matter! I'm looking forward to the next few months and I plan to give everything I have.
See you guys around! :)
PS: The project I talked about last post is put on hold. The back end is finished though, which for me is the important part.
