Barbados was a bit of a touristy trip - took the normal tours and trips. However since I had a local friend there I also got to experience local people and places tours don't go. Like caves of the east coast and hearts of

When I bought the ticket to see my friend in Barbados like 6 months ago it was more like plan F in case nothing else works out. An escape route. But now, surprisingly, I've come to quite enjoy my job. I still get tired

I've vowed to not say "fine" ever again unless I actually am fine for some strange reason. Currently my life is practically only going up and emotionally has only bounced up from as low as it's ever been. For no particular reason.

Doing startups are a pretty stressful way of life. Not because 9 in 10 startups fail, but because I poured my heart into mine for months and only then it failed. It's like finding out there's no Santa Clause. Feels like being a drunk.

Half a year at my job this last month has been an emotional ride, which took me by surprise. Through confrontation of my own fears and wanting to advance into more fields I've found that being an employee is still very hard for me.

Didn't talk much, didn't express much of anything, but had a whole world going on inside of me all the time. So I was an introvert. People knew I did a little bit of poetry and were surprised when they eventually found out what

I think my biggest failure this time was getting emotionally attached. Yes, the project did not generate any money, but it did what it was supposed to do - (in)validate the market. Emotion was what kept me hooked on it and not letting

On the day of deep sadness I drove to work, but couldn't actually enter the building. I just sat there for half an hour and then left. The next few hours went by as I drove around aimlessly. At one point doing 20 laps

This week my thorough routine of exercise, meditation, writing and playing guitar isn't helping anymore. My awesome job seems like something to stay away from. My own projects that I'm usually exited about just seems like failure staring at my face. Today I'm sad

All developers with entrepreneurial ambitions are guilty of this - we create a great solution with no users, since we were so sure of it's usefulness that we didn't actually do any research. This is my (oh I don't know..) 7th time doing this.

We have a 10 person team and are expanding rapidly so we take building culture seriously. We talk, we experiment. My technical lead has been bugging me. Every discussion we have we seem to talk passed each other and we never conclude the same

I've been thinking. I wrote about why I want to start a Youtube channel. Well I haven't so far, because of time limitations. Also at one point I understood that whatever I wanted to offer Youtube was full of already anyway. Today my mind

The best ideas are the ones you don't write down, but keep coming back to you. Here's one of them RMD.ee Estonia is lacking a quality news source that would.. list only valuable info from home and international in Estonian RMD is basically

So it's been a month since I started my morning and evening routine. Here's what it's consisted of: The Routine Morning 8am Workout Meditation Blog post Evening 10pm (turn off computer and TV) Learn guitar with Yousician. Learn a language with Dualingo. Read a

I'm scared of stuff all the time. Right now I'm scared about the exam I'm gicing will flunk. As in either it's too easy, too hard or the server isn't going to handle itself. Whatever. Often I make decisions based on what frightens me.
