I watched a couple of build sessions and the one where Scott and Mark Learn to Code in particular was what prompted (🥁) me to check out Github co-pilot. It's been a while since I worked on a side project for learning. Now that summer is coming up, it's a little bit easier to find… Continue reading Trying out Co-pilot to Build a Side Project for the Summer

The Value of Value Objects
In my most recent employment, I got to work on refactoring some legacy code and one of things that I've learned to appreciate is the use of Value Objects. The domain focused on money and tax rates of various sorts so the code was filled with decimal variable types. The following is a simplified example: As… Continue reading The Value of Value Objects
Catching up
I looked through my drafts and retroactively published some of them, mostly the ones that had to do with the progress of my company. I had said I would try to start blogging more but I had failed. I guess I got too busy or too lazy or who knows. Today is a public holiday… Continue reading Catching up

My original contract was set to expire in December, basically your typical initial 4 month contract.

In my… Continue reading Celebrating my first month!

After 10 years of working in Singapore, having 3 children along the way, my family and I decided to move to my husband's home town in Sweden. When I joined the workforce here, I… Continue reading Starting Up
Today.
Today starts another blog. I can't even recall how many blogs I've started and abandoned. I'm glad that there are always free options, otherwise what would I do. I want to try out the wordpress to anchor conversion and it takes having a wordpress blog as input. So here I am babbling so that I… Continue reading Today.
Things are starting to wind down at my current job. I start with the new one on Feb 10. I've had some time after work to do 'hobby stuff'. I learned to crochet when I was young and picked it up again a few months back. I then decided that I wanted to learn knitting… Continue reading
