Thank you for using @orama.com

Dolores Park, Mission District, San Francisco

I missed this - back after two weeks in Italy

Got an A even if I'll never understand APA formatting 🥲 graph theory ftw!

Yeah studying for a B.Sc. While working full-time is not as easy as I thought

I love San Francisco and I love living in Mission

The illusion of connection that deepens into alienation

I'm looking for a strong front-end focused developer. Contractor for milestone-based project(s). React/TypeScript/Tailwind. Budget is ~$5-6k/month. Preferably in Italy, but open to all EU.

MCP is such an ugly protocol

Working in tech, AI is so fucking exhausting

I’m in SF on a regular work visa, and I’m still terrified. If someone had told me beforehand the level of fear and pressure I’d experience during the visa and immigration process, I wouldn’t have believed them.

I'll never get used to kg<>lbs conversion. I tried ordering 200kg of salmon for lunch

Nice ragebait I almost fell for it

I just moved to Mission. I saved the image you shared, will contact you if I see anything 🙏 I hope you’ll get back together asap

Level of frustration being forced to write frontend code: doing LeetCode in Rust just to decompress

PSA.. the @nodejs.org TSC just had a leadership vote. @nodeland.dev is the new TSC chair. @ruyadorno.com and I will be serving as the Co-Vice Chairs.

Did my first angel investment today 👀

I took an exam in statistics and guess what I want to major in now

No way my B.Sc. tutor is called Haskell

What a badass name!

Ended up in a very nice tech dinner in San Francisco explaining the borrow checker at 10pm. This city is crazy! Love it

Thank you!!

I'm willing to pay a Philosophy student (major) or professor for one hour of chatting a week. I want to cover nihilism and existentialism/absurdism, and I need some guidance. If you know anyone who'd be interested, please connect the two of us! 🙏

I gave Cursor a try for a month.

Sure, I shipped fast, but I also felt like I was getting dumber, lazier, and realized I knew way less about my own codebase than I thought.

Back to manual coding, at least for now.

I read “Metamorphosis” by Kafka twice: once at 15 for school and again now at 30.

How the hell is a 15yo supposed to understand this book??

Born to write Rust

forced to write JS

I'm doing it online (sadly) 'cause I live far from the Campus, plus they turned my >12yr experience, patents, and book into a bunch of credits, so I'm starting with a good advantage 😂

I am honestly SUPER excited 'cause I love academia, I love studying, and that's my ultimate source of happiness

My third patent has been published - waiting for a decision in about three months!

Performing vector search in content delivery networks. It’s a fun one!

I'm starting my B.Sc. at the end of this month, just got the full degree plan and I can't wait 🥹

The crazy thing about vibe coding is that even tech influencers now can ship something

Thanks!!!
