I didn't quit my job per se — we moved to another country with higher living costs, and the company was unable (or unwilling, depending on how you look at it) to give me the required salary increase. It was a relief, really, because pretty much everything in https://ky.fyi/posts/ai-burnout resonates with me. > Organization leadership has mandated that each person adopt new AI tools to "uplevel" themselves and their team. It hits so close to home it almost physically hurts. > I am, as it stands, without a job. Recovering from burnout will take time. Thankfully, I have savings that afford me the privilege to take that time. I’m distancing myself from social media and news, at least for a little while. At some point, I will need to decide if I want to remain in this industry, and if so, where to go next. Same here. I've taken up baking and tweaking my bread roll recipe, and I'm getting into gardening. I do feel slightly guilty for relying on agentic coding for my spare-time projects, though.

This is my favorite ice cream, and one of the very few things I missed in Germany. This ice cream is usually hard to come by, so I was surprised to discover it in our mini supermarket

I moved all my self-hosted applications (including this one) to my own server, so here's another snapshot of pretty flowers in our garden.

It's a long, long way till we have a bird- and insect-friendly garden. But this simple and cheap bird feeder is a modest first step towards this noble goal.

I've been feeling a bit down, but thankfully the weather improved and I could do some gardening — the best way to lift my spirits.

Ahhh, the joy of being a freelancer. You get up in the morning, and spend hours researching, compiling, 3D printing... what exactly? A Bongo Cat (https://makerworld.com/en/models/1654522-bongo-cat-mini-monitor-animated-esp32-display#profileId-1749680). Why? Because why the heck not?

That was actually a pretty convincing attempt at Bock beer. Then again, it was brewed with German hops, so no surprises there.

Immortal Pizza Alas, it didn't live up to its name. The business is very much dead, and the sign says "TO LET".
