Hello world


In September 2018 I was eager to work on something that I could use to then market myself while looking for a job overseas. I was still in Japan, feeling a little lost, not knowing where my life was going. Professionally, everything was fine. But I felt like a mess.

That project was supposed to be a full-stack portfolio/blog and I worked hard on it… for 2 weeks. The plan was to keep learning and use all my new beautiful skills to keep improving it, fantasizing on all the advanced features that I would put in day by day… then reality happened. Oh, reality, you awful monster.

I did most of it in a month and then everything else dragged for a year and a half. I completed it just a couple of months ago, wrote a first post and then abandoned it, like every person sane of mind should do.

I don’t regret building it but it was overkill and I’m not going to maintain it. Does that make me a bad person? Probably.

But so does staring at my neighbors on the balcony to make them shut up and I sleep like a baby at night.
