eat the best food in the world #life
feel tired this morning, slow things down a bit cause realize been so intense for the last 6+ months non-stop like a machine and its quite taxing on my energy now, can def feel it — creativity needs a huge recharge, been half a year I didn't touch my side projects at all and they usually help a lot 🤡 #life
upgrade all personal vps linux and apt dependencies for security #life
update all #crisp microservices to support session-based routing in events for future multi-conversational #crisp chatbox
try macOS Tahoe in light mode and get shocked at where we got at in terms of contrast, UI elements blend together and the difference between sections is not even visible, making all apps in light mode UI barely usable and hurting my designer eyes — I think it's only good-looking and usable in Dark Mode — missing the good old time of Jobs' Apple #life
make specialty Costa Rican local espresso on Wacaco #life
finish implementing #crisp websocket server new protocol to create child chat sessions for multi-conversation support in #crisp chatbox
add error tracing logs on #crisp mailing system for users sending emails through custom SMTP servers
buy more ETFs #life
adapt #crisp WebSocket protocol to support joining multiple chat sessions at the same time
fix issue with #crisp plugin platform where a single plugin started hammering #crisp main HTTP API and our API started protecting itself and denying all plugins access to itself, for plugins running on the same Kubernetes node IP address, putting 30% of our plugins down. That was expected behavior, but now added a circuit breaker so that an abusive plugin cannot put all others down, only itself
finish pixel perfect implementation of new #crisp chatbox multi conversation management UI visuals, tomorrow will be backend and we’ll have a new feature ready
realize I don't like X anymore because my timeline is full of non-dev background vibe-coders spreading the message that it's the end of SaaS. While the true SaaS builders still build strong, I'd be interested to see how many of those pure vibe coders will be left in the game in a few years. Hacker News is my new timeline. Cancelled X subscription cause it's became the land of greed and click bait 😛 #life
wake up in off the grid forest lodge in costa rica but the internet is shit, latency is very high. It's very visible macOS apps eg. Apple Mail dont behave well at all under high latency, with synchronous UI freezes when it's waiting for the network, making it barely usable — showing the importance of careful software design cause 100% of the world doesnt have fiber or LTE internet #life
drink specialty coffee #life
save scan of physical engineering school diploma to help trigger a tax optimization for #crisp since we can justify we do research
run yearly cleanup of personal and business mailboxes: remove old email I won’t need again, check Dovecot auto-cleanup rules still work fine (they did not!), keep spam filter optimal, all that to reduce the email clutter in 2026 and spend less time managing email #life
renew personal domain name on Porkbun and it's soooo cheap (6 EUR at Porkbun vs 38 EUR at Gandi before, used to be theft)
add new websocket event parameter on #crisp to know when an account goes out of trial period so that our integrations can know about it to apply more tiered pricing
investigate eu e-invoicing new regulation shit after Belgian customers start complaining that our #crisp invoices are not compliant to their new e-invoicing national requirements now in force since Jan 2026, and it's probably 2 days of work — EU gave us GDPR, PSD2, AI Act and now digital invoices, they just can't stop building regulations and slowing us down and forgot we're competing with the world and the whole world is laxer
