I’ve been tinkering with Actual Budget this morning as a self-hosted alternative to YNAB. This might be the Christmas IT project I continue to tinker with during this holiday break.
Actual Budget is a super fast and privacy-focused app for managing your finances. At its heart is the well proven and much loved Envelope Budgeting methodology. You own your data and can do whatever you want with it. Featuring multi-device sync, optional end-to-end encryption and so much more.

Play around with Learn Binary if you have a few minutes to spare.
Binary numbers can seem complex and weird, but they’re actually not that hard to understand. You can learn how to read binary numbers and count in binary in just a couple of minutes, which is a pretty cool skill to have.

I’ve been listening to this podcast episode with great interest. Tomer Cohen shares some interesting thoughts on how the roles of product manager, product designer, and product engineer will evolve. I like the idea of product pods, which are essentially very small, multiskilled, and multitool teams.
Tomer Cohen is chief product officer at LinkedIn, where he’s pioneering the Full Stack Builder program, a radical new approach to product development that fully embraces what AI makes possible. Under his leadership, LinkedIn has scrapped its traditional Associate Product Manager program and replaced it with an Associate Product Builder program that combines coding, design, and PM skills. He’s also introduced a formal “Full Stack Builder” title and career ladder, enabling anyone, regardless of function, to take products from idea to launch. In this conversation, Tomer explains why product development has become too complex and how LinkedIn is building a product team that can move faster, adapt more quickly, and do more with less.

When Adulthood Actually Arrives
But now I think that you only really become an adult when you need to be one. In reaction to your environment. You don't get to wait until you feel qualified. It's a response to necessity. You become an adult because you need to be an adult.

Ik ben fan van het werk van Ruben Terlou, dus toen ik zag dat het NTR programma Kunststof eerder deze week hem te gast had om te praten over zijn nieuwe documentaire, moest ik deze podcast wel terugluisteren.
Terwijl de wereld vooral kijkt naar andere brandhaarden, woeden in Myanmar al bijna tachtig jaar burgeroorlogen. Na de militaire staatsgreep in 2021 staat een jonge generatie op. Jongeren die hun studie en familie achterlaten om zich aan te sluiten bij het gewapend verzet. Ruben Terlou en cameraman Bruce Amende zoeken ze op om erachter te komen wat ze bezielt.
De Volkskrant heeft een artikel en een aantal foto's op hun website staan die tijdens deze reis zijn gemaakt.
