A first-person account of switching from fintech (trading at Gazprombank) into crypto at the bottom of the market — right after FTX, with Solana in single digits. The switch wasn't luck: it was a non-obvious match of hard skills (edtech, finance, crypto, user research) and soft skills, signalled loudly over time through public writing and a finance PhD on crypto regulation. The bigger lesson: ugly markets hire for impact, not momentum — so a downturn is often the best time to jump, if you can credibly say "I can fix this."

Many media workflows involve uploading files to cloud utilities for tasks that modern computers can already perform locally. While building Formatif Pro, I realized that video compression, image conversion, resizing, and audio extraction are often faster, more private, and more reliable when they happen directly on the desktop. This article explores the hidden productivity cost of the "upload tax" and why some media tools may never have needed to become cloud apps in the first place.

AI-powered “vibe-coded” Mac apps are flooding GitHub, promising free alternatives to tools like CleanMyMac. But many lack reliability, proper permissions handling, and security safeguards—sometimes executing risky system-level actions. Building safe macOS utilities requires ongoing engineering, not quick assembly. Before installing, users should question not just price, but trust, stability, and long-term support.

  How I Use Zettelkasten and Obsidian to Keep My Notes Organized 25.09.2025 3นาที

Zettelkasten proposes a way of writing connected notes, and not just a collection of notes. The human brain is non-linear: we jump from idea to idea, all the time. The difference to other systems is that you create a web of thoughts instead of notes of arbitrary size and form, and emphasize connection, not a collection. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base on top of a folder of plain text Markdown files that you can organize in whatever way you want.
