I went the same route. I have bought stuff from the 2000s for my 10yo girl: pink plastic digital camera, mp3 player, a desktop PC in the middle of the living room.

Btw, do you know any website where we can legally download mp3 ?

I live in a small town and I have noticed that I just have be outside and look available. I may be gardening, washing my car or just hanging, and people will randomly stop to start conversations, or just say "hey". That reminds me of our grandparents and how they used to just sit on the front porch and someone would see them, start chatting, and maybe come in and have tea. We've lost those moments of availability.

I am building a few catalog workflows in n8n in order to synchronize our ERP data with Akeneo. I know it looks incredibly boring but as I progress I have to get in touch with many departments, and it raises questions about how we manage data within the company. The people I expected to be the most reactionary about it - after all I am sticking my nose into their business - are actually the most helpful because they see an opportunity to make some tasks less painful.

It resonates with me. I live in a small country (luckily an European one) where investments do not flow into tech. I have talked with many of my fellow countrymen that feel the same. Maybe we will never reach our full potential (professionally) by working here. Remote work is part of the solution for now, but it remains rare and requires a trust signal.

My only suggestion is to keep pushing until you make it.

Drawing! I always loved pencil drawing, but it is an activity I had to put aside because it's time-consuming and we have a 3 yo at home that is also very time-consuming. After years of not doing it, I feel I lack the meditative part of it.

I am evaluating drawing tablets, if you have any recommendation. I am thinking about the Huion Kamvas 13.

I regret buying an okay-ish car. I should have bought a cheap rubbish car, or paid the price for a good car. After 3 years of owning it, I'm stuck paying and repairing a car I want to dump.

I already felt the need to persist data between different nodes and workflows, so I made a bespoke API with dedicated endpoints that perform CRUD tasks (Yes, it defeats the purpose of a no-code platform but I can code, so...). I have to say I love N8n so far, it is a great productivity tool.

I like writing, but I always have a hard time getting started. In that regards ChatGPT has been a real game changer. I can just lay down some ideas, ask it to write an article, hate it, then write it myself.

I am working on a private transportation service. Think Uber, but in a small market. We have an aging population, poor public transportation and some of the bumpiest roads you can find in the West. It will fill a void.

Not my idea, though. Through our local geek community, I met this taxi driver who pitched his app idea. He convinced a few other drivers to pay a small fee to kickstart the project. Then he convinced me to help with the technical stuff, and I convinced a friend to tag along.

He is on the road looking for funding!

I see what you did there ;) One idea from the book that stuck with me is that we are too often in a rush to get this or that done, so we can move on with our life. Instead, we can take the time to do it the right way and find some kind of happiness in the process.

If there's any problem with your flight you're up shit creek if you have to deal via a third party.

I have learned that the hard way. My flight was cancelled and I don't get any notification. There is a real communication issue between OTAs and airlines. After a week of poking the customer service, I got a refund from Opodo, fortunately.
