Hello World!

System.out.println("Hello World!");

Hello World!

Welcome to my blog. A space for stories, personal opinions and views about:
Startups, Tech & Life!

Starups, Tech & Life - This is life

Reader: excuse me, I didn't quite catch your name.

Me: Oh sorry, did I forget to introduce myself? I'm Jad! Nice to meet you :)

Reader: and, if I may ask, why is it that you decided starting this blog?

Me: excellent question! Thanks for asking!

Here's my story:

I'm a Software Developer with 6+ years of experience. I have lived for most of my professional life in London. I actually moved from Lebanon to the UK straight after graduating as a Computer Engineer.

Reader: oh! Lebanon?! Are you Lebanese then?

Me: haha yep. I bet you love Lebanese food, isn't it? And, actually I'm half Lebanese half Belgian.

So to answer your question about "why this blog". It's been years I wanted to blog and share my views and stories. Mostly I have always wanted to talk about what I've learned and been through as a Developer. I just hope I could pass on something and that some of my experience can be of benefit to new developers or people from different backgrounds interested in getting into coding.

As to why now, well maybe the start of a new year. Maybe the fear that if I don't start now I might never start as well. Anyway, what's for sure is: IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Reader: I see, I see. Well good luck mate. It was good chatting with you, unfortunately I need to go. Catch you later!

Me: Yeah it was a great conversation indeed. Please don't forget to come back whenever you have some time! I'll try to write as much as I can. If you're interested in discussions about startups and tech. If you're interested in entrepreneurship and different philosophies and mindsets needed. You know where to find me ;)

Take it easy!

Take it easy. Peace

The curse of being efficient or the curse of going the extra mile

The curse of being efficient or the curse of going the extra mile. Why is being efficient a curse? Or, why is going the extra mile a curse? Well, let's start with something most of you have probably been told before: "you're being too nice!". See where I'm going with that? I want to talk here about some of my experiences at work and some of my experiences with some clients. I'm a Software Developer. I do that for a living and I'm lucky enough to be able to consider it my passion. Now I don't know how many of you have worked with Software Developers; still, you probably know what the stereotypical Developer looks like. Obviously, it's just a stereotype, but can be true in many cases.  Inefficient Software Developers Lots of developers cannot be interrupted. They like to put their headphones on, put on some loud music, and focus on one task only which is writing code.  If you're dealing with that type of Developer, you need to know that when they...

Back to writing! (my wedding)

Image
Hello hello! It's been so long! More than 4 months already without any new blog posts. Where have you been? For me, a lot has happened in the last 4 months. First of all, I got married! 💍💑🥂 I got married! Yes, I got married, on the 29th of August. Unfortunately because of the Covid situation, we didn't have any family or friends. It turned out amazing though. Truth be told, I've never really been into big weddings so that was sort of a good excuse to have a really small and intimate wedding without all the stress that usually comes with the typical preparation. It turned out to be amazing because we had a magical 22 days (+1 day for missing our flight 😅). We did it in Denmark. Denmark is an incredible country and the Danish people are now by far the people I respect the most for their lifestyle, honest kindness, and extremely high levels of civilization... It turned out to be amazing most importantly because, although not having any family with us, we never felt we were...

Back to writing (part 2)

Hello friends! First of January today; the start of a hopefully happy new year. I wish you all the very best for a new year full of beautiful experiences and good moments. Wish lots of health for you and your loved ones! So today I continue from where I last left:  back to writing! (my wedding) I was happy to be back to writing and explained where I've been for the past four months. My wedding obviously was one big highlight of those last few months. What else have you done? Other than that, I've been really busy starting a new life. I left my full-time job What!? Really? Leaving a well paid full-time job now? In the middle of a crisis! Who does that? That's initially most people's reaction. I've had to listen to it from everyone again and again. But guess what? When you have a plan and know what you're doing, it doesn't matter when and how you do it. I left a job that many people would only dream of having. But guess what? To each their vision. To each thei...
