📰 New articles on Js-Craft.io

Wrote 3 new articles on the site:

🎙 My first podcast appearance

For the first time, I've appeared on a podcast interview. Joao Aguiam, the founder of Veertly was kind enough to invite me to his podcast. We talked about entrepreneurship, the importance of maintaining meaningful connections, and more.

You can watch the full interview here.

🏝 Some non-coding things that I've enjoyed lately

Italy ... this is for sure a non-coding thing that I've enjoyed lately. It's my fourth time in Italy, but the other times I did not enjoy it as much.

This time we traveled to Rimini (near Bologna) and, oh boy, do I love it! A beautiful, walkable, seaside town full of great architecture, and nicely dressed people. And all without being pretentious. Italy at its finest 🇮🇹🤌☕️:

Well, that's all folks! See you the next week for the book launch. Be smart, be kind, and keep coding!
