Prague days 2 and 3
Wednesday started with Damianne and me heading to a co-working space to meet with Jirka. It was the first time I tried WeWork. It works very similarly to FlexDay, only it has options all over the world and not just in Canada. You download the app, create an account, reserve a location either on demand…

From Prague with Love
I remember, back in 2016, sitting by the river Thames looking over the tower bridge in London and thinking about the people who live there, surrounded by all that history, all those monuments, and they don’t really care. It’s part of their day. It becomes mundane. I had the same feeling about Rome. If I…

The Sound of Music
Austria was always a country I associated with several things that were often present in my life. The sound of music which I have watched so many times, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert due to my love for classical music. Freud, in a more generic way and Schrödinger because of my completely random but a bit…

The Sound of Woosic™
The most expected week of the year so far has come and gone so fast that it feels almost cruel.

But then, the whole Developer Apprenticeship thing happened and threw me off a bit. Mostly because I started another blog to help me study (Rosie Codes), where I share things I…

How do we stay connected?
Working remotely has become a reality for many during the pandemic and for a lot of people this has became a permanent move. Some companies have switched into being 100% remote, like Shopify, others have adopted an hybrid approach, but the truth is, several people will now work from home (or from anywhere). And this…

Digital Nomad Visa – Spain
My friends back home will kill me if they read this. I’m not even back from one trip yet and already planning another one and writing about digital Nomad Visas 😏 I don’t consider myself a digital nomad. I guess to be qualified as a nomad you need to be location independent, and I’m not.…

The road so far
And here I am. Two weeks into the Developer Apprentice Program and I haven’t gone crazy. YET! 🤣 If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the Developer Apprentice program is a career path program at Automattic to help people who want to move to a software engineering role. You can rotate into a developer…
