Exams, Christmas and Building Something New

December 2024

The start of this month was all about exams. We had three exams in a row, day after day. It was quite a marathon to get through all of them, but the feeling of relief after finishing the last one was amazing. The very next day, I packed my bags and flew back to my home country.

The rest of the month was about enjoying time with my family and friends, which felt so refreshing after all the studying.

During the break, I also built my first ergonomic split wireless keyboard. I had been thinking about it for a while but had always been a bit scared of building hardware, as it’s not as easy to debug as software. But, to my surprise, it worked on the first try (which NEVER happens in software development). Now, I’m fine-tuning the configuration to make it truly fit my needs. It actually feels kinda awesome to use something that you created with your own hands.
