Change is happening, you just do not see it
If youโre like me, you have been in a situation many times where you want to change and nothing happens. A classic example is something like a bad habit or a bad behaviour that you would like to remov...
Why do we only realize our mistakes after the fact? ๐ง
Last week, I spent half a week forgetting my sweater for lunch, but that "hindsight" was actually how the brain wires a new habit.
Change happens even when you don't see it yet.

Catalin Codes - My Growth Journey
Transforming ideas into code. Follow my journey on personal and professional growth through the lens of a .NET developer. Portfolio coming soon.
Today was really tough at work. Debugging is not easy and I was not able to figure it out, but that's part of the journey. Once I will figure it out it will feel all the better. I am hoping to post a new article tomorrow on catalin.codes. #daily #devlife

I can't believe we are already in March. It was a good day today. Not a great day, but that's fine. I was able to go for a nice walk outside. I renewed my expired library card. All in all I can say it was a good day. #Daily #DevLife

What is your tech stack that you're most familiar with? What are you most knowledgeable about? It depends on that, too.

Is a Software Development Degree Still Worth It? (The โIt Dependsโ Answer)
Iโve been asked a question recently. Today, given what AI can do is it still worth getting a degree in software development or something similar?
Is a CS degree still worth it in the age of "vibe-coding"?
AI is a genius at syntax but a junior at architecture. It can build MVPs in minutes, but also create technical debt in seconds.
Here is why I think a degree matters MORE in 2026:

Does that apply to GitHub Pages or is that something that we need to put on our repo?

Happy Monday!
Out of 7 days, I managed 5 days in which I took care of myself by meditating, writing affirmations and then journaling.

Tuesday I was able to both meditate, write affirmations and journal. Yesterday, I missed all of them. It's fine and I won't make myself guilty. I'll try again, today. #mindfulness #meditation #journaling

I am slowly getting back into my routine. I did my morning meditation. I limited it to 5 minutes to ease myself back into it. I'll journal in the evening.

Goodbye 2025, Hello There 2026
2025 - itโs been a year. According to the Chinese Zodiac it was the Year of the Snake. 2025 was the Year of the Snake and 2026 will be the Year of the Horse. I find it to be quite fitting, because in ...
Goodbye 2025, Hello There 2026!
2025 has been all sorts of interesting. From starting a new job to selling my home, it's been a very eventful year. Losing a lot of weight that's been holding me down.
Now it's time to take action and make 2026 an action-based year.

First day back at the office since Xmas Eve. Since then, I packed, I moved, I unpacked (the essentials). It did not feel like the holidays, but I am starting 2026 with the right foot forward.
Hope everyone else also is having a good start to 2026. ๐

And on that note I'll get to work on what I'm supposed to do on Christmas day. Packing, because I'm moving in 3-4 days. What did you expect? Spending time with family? I am. I'm doing this with my wife.

This always makes me laugh! Santa loves to give lots of gifts. He just needs to make sure mommy and daddy have money, first.

Possibly because OOP is easy for most people to wrap their hands around. It's not that functional programming is hated, but just that it's more abstract.
