🇵🇱 Updated April 13, 2024 from Poland!
Still Working at Simplebet! #
Stories of my unemployment have been greatly exaggerated. I reposted a LinkedIn story about a coworker who is currenlty open for work and somehow that ended up being attributed to me in people’s feeds. Even some of my close friends thought I was unemployed! 🙈
Nauka języka polskiego #
I am finally learning to speak Polish. Progress is slow, but steady and I am finally really enjoying it. If you are also interested in learning Polish, I recommend reaching out to Glossa. They can help people in any geogrophy to learn Polish. A special thank you to Magdalena!
Current Hobbies #
Chess #
Thanks to ‘Chicago Mike’ I am really starting to enjoy chess. I am learning on Chess.com and play (losing) matches on lichess - feel free to request a game! I’m ‘mrkumm’ on both platforms.
Music Creation #
I am having a blast creating music on Ableton, I just wish I had more time to create. I also rely on tools from Rogue Amoeba, especially loopback.
Currently Studying/Reading #
Strange Loops #
I am working through I Am A Strange Loop with a couple of friends. I got through about 1/2 the book about 10 years ago and have been meaning to read it through for a while. I am really looking forward to the converations that will come from reading this book with some friends.
Compilers #
I was intimidated to start “The Dragon Book” Compilers: Principles, Techniques, & Tools but now that I have, I LOVE it. It is hard, but so incredibly well written. It is a joy to read, even if takes some additional concentrated effort to work through.
Books I am reading now #
- Read Write Own. I’m a believer
- Cursed Bunny Uncomfortable fiction, but it’s fun to read and the stories stay with you.
- Hidden Potential My first Adam Grant book. Enjoying it, but at 25% of the way in I am still waiting for the grand reveal.
- Engineering Elixir Applications I am only 3 chapters in, but wow this is a fun book! Exceedingly easy to code along with the author. I am garbage at DevOps, this book may help!
