Dmitry Kudryavtsev on software, AI skepticism, philosophy, and outdoor adventures.
Recently, Ghostty updated itself. I switched to Ghostty some time ago, as I like to try new stuff and find better tools for my workflow. With this new update, I noticed something changed in Ghostty. There are now 3 dots at the top of the window, in the center.
You see, I have been working as a software engineer from 2009. Moreover, I was building products (most of them failed), since high-school, and today I still build and maintain some of them. I have been observing many products, and founders, and I came to a sim…
When I was in 9th grade — last year before high-school — my best friend persuaded me to join, together with him, the schools programming club. At first, I hesitated, but later agreed. I am immensely thankful to him for this.
If you told someone back in early 2000s that they would be able to update the software on their TV or fridge, they would look at you very confusingly. And yet, here we are.
And, in the fashion of HackerNews, I stumbled upon someone sharing their open-source project. It’s great to see people work on their projects and decide to show them to the world. I think people underestimate the fear of actually shipping stuff, which involves…
No matter where you look, people just want to know the answer: to life, to business, to love, to friendship. But the more I live, the more I tend to gravitate towards the idea that not having the answer is part of the path: and it’s the most important part.
During my recent trip to Romania, I have decided to climb the La Om Peak. There is very little information available in English for this climb, so I wanted to share my experience, and the mistakes I made, so you can prepare better.
Recently, I went on an extended weekend in Romania. I’d like to share some of the activities I did there. It’s important to note that I no longer travel for the cities, and look more towards beautiful nature. Being located in the Netherlands, you get tired of…
Now, I’m not gonna lie and tell you that I never use AI, and all of it is bad. I do use it. Instead of Google search; in order to do product comparisons; plan trips and brainstorm ideas; check for facts (that sometimes I cross-reference with other sources). Bu…
One of the biggest questions that I’d like to know the answer to, is: “Is it possible to change yourself, and how much control you have over this decision?” Sure, there are people who claim to have made a 180 degrees personality changes, but — aside from the f…
Few months ago, the internet has been flooded with AI generated images in the style of Pixar and Ghibli. I didn’t even know that a new AI model was released, because I kind of quit social media, but they were everywhere, and it was impossible to miss it. This…
Almost two years ago, I landed in Costa Rica. After arriving at my Airbnb in the evening, I took off my Apple Watch and put it on a charger while I was preparing to take a shower and go to sleep. The next day, after I woke up, instead of putting the watch firs…
I have no intention to discredit or offend any particular individual or groups of people. My desire is only to share my findings about the various communities online for solopreneur/entrepreneurs.
They kept on talking about entrepreneurship, the importance of believing in yourself, etc. I don’t remember the entire content of the session, but I remember how I felt afterward. I felt that I’m going to be a tech entrepreneur! This was such a strong feeling.…
A little bit more than a year ago, I quit my job due to burnout. I, then, embarked on a voyage in Central America with a simple goal in mind:
Coincidentally, but Guatemala turns out to be the cradle of the Mayan civilization. From there, Maya expanded north to Mexican regions of Chiapas and Yucatán, and south down to the border of Costa Rica.
It’s been 3 months of #nomading the world and #solopreneuring. Here is what I learned.
