Just a lvl 28 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but actually more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be a fluffy raccoon on the internet?

  • Slowing down enough is the same thing than being unavailable. Imagine someone is sending you 1000 text messages per minute from different numbers all over the world. Your phone handles it fine but you have to manually read every single message to check if it’s spam or something important. By the time you reach that one real message where your crush asked if you wanna hang out, it’s way too late and they already asked someone else.




  • I can only speak from my own experience and what I’ve seen, but generally the best leaders are the ones who emerge naturally from within the team. You shouldn’t need to “prove yourself” to your superiors but to your coworkers instead.

    Most teams don't want or need a boss, they need a leader

    I don’t know what your “vision” looks like, but start small. Feel like some manual task could be automated? Write a script and share it with the team. Think something should be done differently? Bring it up and see what others in the team think. The point is, you don’t need actual “power” within the company to start implementing your vision. Unless of course the company culture is just horrible, in which case you’d probably be better off looking for other opportunities regardless…





  • Such a cool idea omg. I wish there were a way to make it happen. I’ve always played with the idea of going interrailing but I’m not that into sightseeing or other “touristy” activities so I worry I’d find it boring soon after start. Meeting local furs at every major stop would be such a fun way to do it. I think there should be some overnight stops along the route though, more than two consecutive night trains sounds way too punishing for me lol.

    Also, to my knowledge night trains often require seat reservations even for interrail pass holders. I dunno how expensive those are these days
