A few days ago, İsmail sent me an email asking if he could send me some questions to answer for his Turkish-language blog.

I have been following Herman’s blog for quite a while.

A few days ago I was sitting in a café in Sofia, thinking about things that were normal when I was a kid, or even when my parents were, and that now take real effort to get.

Almost 2 years after I interviewed Alex, this section is back.

It’s been five months since my last entry.

On these rainy days, I’m reading two books.

The other day I was reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and I stopped at this line: That everyone has the right to learn to read corrupts in the long run not only writing but also thinking itself.

About a week ago, Picmal reached 200 users.

As 2025 comes to an end, I realize I have written less in this newsletter than I would have liked.

Ever since I was a child, I’ve been somewhat obsessed with death.

I’m someone driven by obsessions, and by phases.

When I first started building Picmal, a simple image converter for macOS, the App Store was the obvious destination.

Novelty has always attracted me far more than what was already obvious to me.

I’ve always been someone who sees things in black and white, believing that things are either one way or the other.

Since I started working as a developer, I’ve always had the same problem: I have a terrible allergy to events scheduled at a specific time of the day (call them meetings, call them whatever you want).

It’s been a while since I last wrote here, and to be honest, I’ve missed it.

I’ve been summarizing my year privately for years, but I’ve never done it publicly.

When you want to create something, don’t plan based on data.

Dear reader, Last week, I was walking home in the morning—one of those mornings when there’s no one on the street, the kind I love.
