First 3 months status

The first three months are over. What I did so far: I got my AWS certification. I was accepted as a trainer for EFPSA where I will help students of psychology to improve their soft-skills. I am planning to create video tutorials. I will deliver Java sessions relate to OOP for a Java training academy. I am quite happy with my progress so far. If you want to collaborate with me in delivering a training session or something related to technologies, please feel free to reach out.

What if I was like Seth?

I start this blog with the idea of being like Seth Godin. He post one blog post every single day, no excuses. So far, I am doing a good job. I wonder where this journey will lead me. Do you think it is worth the effort to post a single blog post daily?

Back to work

Vacation was nice, but what I really like is to work on meaningful projects. I am happy to be back and ready to take on the rest of my project. It is good to know you contribute to the success of your company and team.

Changing the environment

There seems to be something magical when you are in a sunny country. People smile a lot and your mood is good. Now think about if you work in a dark and cold office. Would you have a good mood? Part of the culture building in any corporation is not only look “cool” on the outside but also shift the cubicle narrative and make inside also nice, so your employees come more energetic and creative.

Reservation please

This week I am in Porto, a beautiful city in Portugal. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit this city. But make sure you have a reservation in a restaurant, otherwise you might start arguing with your spouse where to sit, just because the nice places are already been reserved.

The silent killer

The silent killer. I used to think that the world is relatively safe.   But more and more I educate myself. The more I realize how dangerous our surrounding is.   This latest article showed me more issues and treats we will face soon.   Meet the fungal infection.   Fungal infections are estimated to kill at least 1.6 million people a year, according to Global Action for Fungal Infections, a research and fundraising nonprofit.   There are only three classes of antifungal drugs commonly used for severe fungal disease, Dr. Spec said, all of which can cause toxic side effects. Fungi are also developing resistance to these drugs, Dr. Spec said. At least seven Candida auris infections were resistant to available antifungals in 2021, the CDC said, up from four in the years before 2020.   This makes the exotic dream to live on a desert island almost unattainable.   What if you catch such a disease there? How will you survive?   This makes choosing where y...

What if no one reads it?

What if no one reads what I write here? How about if no one cares about your work? Would you still do it? The goal with this blog for me personally is to achieve consistency and mastery. It is a gift for me to me. You can learn new things in your job and become better, or to learn a new skill and move to a company that care. Again, everything is in your own hands.

Are people lazy for taking vacation

I love what I do, but I also need a time off to regain my energy. In Europe, we are very blessed with 20+ days of a vacation. Yet, there are countries where the law guarantees them only 10 days. Are those people happier than Europeans? According to the world happiness index, the answer is definitely not. Many countries in the EU rank on the top of that list. The challenge is how we can promote happiness and fulfilment as part of our job criteria.

To pay or not to pay

What if an AI bot had stolen your intellectual property? This discussion is about to happen as many publishers start asking this question: “Was my content being used to train the algorithm?” What do you think? Should AI companies be forced to pay when they use your content? And if yes how will you find out if they use your article or not? More information is below: “Clearly, they are using proprietary content—there should be, obviously, some compensation for that,” Mr. Thomson said. At the heart of the debate is the question of whether AI companies have the legal right to scrape content off the internet and feed it into their training models. A legal provision called “fair use” allows for copyright material to be used without permission in certain circumstances. In an interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said “we’ve done a lot with fair use,” when it comes to ChatGPT. The tool was trained on two-year-old data. He also said OpenAI has struck deals for content, when warranted. “We...
