Sat 28 October 2017 by yaniv

I received the long awaited email - the iPhone X is available for pre-order! It’s time to replace my old iPhone 6. Or is it…? I was about to pre-order, but decided to wait.

Since reading the book Deep Work I’m on a “distraction diet”. It means that, among …

Call me Ishmael

Mon 25 September 2017 by yaniv

How timely... yesterday I finished the book, and today Dropbox Paper already greeted me with this prompt: Call-me-Ishmael

"It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan."

Tue 12 September 2017 by yaniv

Asking a candidate for a 100 days plan apparently becomes the norm. As for me, I'm part of this norm. During the final steps in my recruiting process to Button, I created such 30/60/90 days plan.

Sat 21 January 2017 by yaniv

How to Use Comics to Communicate Ideas - now wait. How did I get here...?

What I've Been Working On Lately - Recap

Wed 11 January 2017 by yaniv

I didn't write for a while¹. And it's not that nothing had happened. The opposite... so much learning and new experiences that I didn't find the time to log. No, it's not a lack of time, but rather not internalizing how important it is to stop, asses and capture …

I'm running some typing tests on the AEK and the Cherry g08 with the black MX switches.

Tue 25 October 2016 by yaniv

I read this Reddit thread about favorite themes, and got intrigued by the spacemacs theme¹.

I added that theme to my init file, and tried making it the default theme. I use use-package, and configured the theme as follows:

(use-package spacemacs-theme
:ensure t
:config
(load-theme 'spacemacs-light t)
)

When re-evaluating …
