Here is a little list of the work currently being done and some personal updates.

Last update: 15.11.2025

Current software projects and goals:

  • Get deep into C++. A change from previous "Learn web dev to get a job at the end of 2025.", I've thought about it quite a lot, because I've felt like an average vibe coder doing web development, sacrificing deep knowledge of computer science fundamentals for quicker results. I think going down the C++ (and later possibly embedded) path will really force me to become a "master at my craft" and also really hard to automate.
  • Making a full stack web app for flat sharing. Tech stack: React + tailwindCSS + node.js + express.js + postgre. Honestly stagnating a bit now due to my lack of skill in design, but pushing through. Taught me a lot about how websites come together and how I like web dev. Quite close to shipping it now, remaining: design, email verification, stripe integration.

Possible next projects:

  • Honestly getting the fundamentals right- C++ and then applying it to networking, operating systems, engines, ..., to understand those deeply.
  • Finish my blog platform (so that putting blogs on the web is automated from local)?
  • Add a tech page somewhere here (what tech do I use).
  • Try contributing to some open source for the first time?

Personal focus/general stuff:

  • Training for Istria 100 next year. Great progress, resting HR is going down, losing weight (84.4 this morning, goal 78ish from roughly 89kg,), nutrition, etc. I feel amazing, the best condition I've ever been in. Weekly about 80km now.
  • Uni in the work-needed-to-put-in maximum now, but quite ok.
  • Reading: LOTR reread after like 12 years!
  • Electric guitar progress: a bit of stagnation, I feel somewhat disinterested and then frustrated. Curr level on Yousician: 6/10. Curr learning song: -
  • Our paper was published to The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters! Working on the following one now.

Next big events:

  • Jordan Peterson in Copenhagen in February 2026, was postponed, so looking forward to it
  • Istria 168k in April, first 100 mile race
  • Limp bizkit on Rock for People 2026! (already got tickets :) )

Previous big events:

  • Jesenicky surovec in October (52k), proud of my performance and fast regeneration
  • Weisskugel (3rd highest mountain in Austria) in October, great 3-day hike
  • 5 weeks USA in the summer, incredible.
