Most people celebrate a full calendar as a sign of productivity and purpose. I see it as a threat to my freedom. Here’s why every appointment—no matter how small—feels like a disruption to the life I actually want to live
AI
Last week I wrote about my experience with vibe coding. I’ve been using the Cursor AI editor, along with a Claude model, to build a web application that allows me to save articles I find online, highlight them, tag them, etc. For years, my app of choice for this
AI
Think of being a technical project manager with a dedicated team member who has solid coding skills. While this AI team member is well trained in code syntax and some best practices, it still behaves like someone who doesn’t see the whole picture. It focuses only on the task
slow living
Life is shorter than we think. Cut the noise, do what matters, and spend time with those you love. Don’t wait to start. Hug more, scroll less. We may not control time, but we can choose how we spend it. Make today count.

Growth rarely happens in comfort. From personal moves to walking El Camino de Santiago, this reflection explores how discomfort shapes resilience, strength, and memorable experiences, and why seeking it intentionally can transform our lives.
