- 8 points
- It turns out time flies fast. Over 14 years on HN.
Being there I've been exposed to some life changing things.
Thanks!
All the best in 2024!
- There are Toastmasters clubs which are online only. There are Toastmasters clubs which carry hybrid online/on site meetings in many time zones.
As for learning speaking over Zoom one anecdata point: I wouldn't get my job if not for Toastmasters and later a lot of TM meetings over zoom.
Looking at the screens for many hours 5 days a week I prefer face to face TM meetings.
- Swimming 3 times a week for about 45 minutes changes the body and mind.
And is a little addictive like ex. running.
Background: I've been swimming for the last few years for about 10-20 minutes twice a week and I've experienced the changes.
Switching few months ago to more intense sessions led to dramatically higher rate of the change and I start to think about the ways of sustaining this. For now I've bought the swimming paddles and this works.

I'm redirecting my career path from industrial maintenance management to software development.
I've done, among other things, over 10 years of code maintenance and functions extensions in a live industrial production environments.
My current preferred tool set: Python, PostgreSQL, Django, Git, Docker, Linux. Now I prefer boring tools which allow me to concentrate on the problem at hand.
I'm open to other tools as needed.
My most recent project is Polish law change monitoring service available at https://unkot.pl. Access to the source code hosted on gitlab.com available on request.
In the past I've used go (golang), cython, neural networks with feedback loops running on CPUs, genetic programming.

I've designed and implemented event driven architecture with log based source of truth for the system which is distributed, eventually consistent, can work with unreliable network.

- https://unpoly.com/ is a good choice - it's description is true:
"The unobtrusive JavaScript framework for server-side web applications Unpoly enables fast and flexible frontends for server-rendered HTML views. It has no dependencies and plays nice with existing code."
