Work feels unpleasant (lacking motivation, tedious, challenging) when we lack focus.

What gives us focus?

Attention (presence) is combined with agency (when our abilities and beliefs align with our context).

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

If you are not embarrassed by your past self you have probably not grown up yet.

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

There is no plot.

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

No CS degree? No problem! Don't let anyone tell you you need a fancy piece of paper to be a programmer.

Deconstruct, Learn, Code, Repeat.

Your future is at your fingertips.

Who says running several web services can't be easy?

Loving using @PikaPods to run several small services, such as my web archive. Fewer servers to maintain, more time for the fun stuff!

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

Ever wondered how I juggle running teams, toying with keyboards, and drinking double IPAs?

It's a dance, my friends—a dance between chaos and control.

After 20 years not doing any music, I'm deep into it again. Just released a new EP: https://t.co/AjkFne8Jm2

Coding:

10% typing.
90% mystery-solving.

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

@dissolved Yes, there's always a new dungeon. :)

I haven't posted here in a while. I mostly write on my website when I'm not working or parenting.

Parenthood and coding share more similarities than you'd expect. It involves a lot of trial and error, learning on the go, and celebrating small wins.

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

Totally agree. Assessing your energy levels after talking to someone is a game-changer. It helps you filter out draining interactions and focus on those that uplift you. Vital for building positive relationships.

[Flo Crivello @Altimor]

Have become a huge fan of @mattmochary 's idea of checking your energy level before and after chatting with someone, when deciding whether to work with them.

It seems a bit silly when you first hear about it, but over time it's become my #1 most important hiring heuristic.

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

Ever wonder where great coding happens? Hint: It's often in the mind.

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

I jumped into the rabbit hole of home hosting and switched from LastPass to a Tailscaled Vaultwarden instance running under my desk.

Have you ever done something like that?

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

@github Headphones, lights, and LEDs react to the music I'm listening to to get some good brain entrainment.

[Rodrigo Franco (Caffo) @caffo]

Back for a bit. It's been a while.

@thmsmlr Does BetterDictation support multiple languages or is it limited to English only?
