2025

This year was defined by a new job, deep dives into AI, and a return to in-person community events.

Started a new job

In April, I started working for FareHarbor (part of Booking Holdings).

Conferences and Meetups

I attended several inspiring events this year, ranging from massive open-source gatherings to smaller local meetups:

AI

2025 was the year I embraced AI in my development workflow.

In May, I started experimenting with blog automation, using LLMs to parse links and generate descriptions for my monthly posts.

By the end of the year, I was diving into Antigravity, a new AI-powered IDE from Google, which I explored just before the December AI House event.

I participated in the 10xdevs course, where I gained a better grasp of how to use AI in my development workflow.

Tools & Workflow

I made some changes to my tools:

terminal: switched to Ghostty after years with iTerm2.
window management: adopted Alt-Tab and Rectangle.
process management: started using mprocs to manage multiple processes in a single terminal.
file management: discovered superfile (TUI file manager) and copyparty (portable file server), but I am not actively using them, treating them more as interesting tools.

Inspiration

book: The Phoenix Project - a "thriller" about DevOps that changed my perspective on IT operations.
documentary: Python: The Documentary - a nostalgic look at the origins of the language I use daily.
video series: Graham Weaver's "Last Lecture" series, especially "How to Live an Asymmetric Life".

Writing

As always, I've kept up with my monthly summaries, where I compile a few sentences about each month, along with any interesting articles, tools, and other materials I've come across. Each month, I also add a personal touch with a photo I've taken.
