Have a plan, keep it simple and stick to it.
I hope for every student's heart, including mine, to overcome the challenges we signed up for. We have exams, tests, and projects to complete this year, and I couldn't be more excited about facing them.
Pay the beginner's taxes with pride!
Just like the fresh air on a regular morning's bringing an unwritten day: Happy new year!
That space is magic.
Not because of the objects in it, but because the mind inside it is boundless. So much sensitivity, so much self-demand, packed into this student heart that wants nothing more than to learn and evolve. If the price is making mistakes, so be it. Shame? Never.
It's a lifestyle. And nothing less.
My conversation with a doctor about studying. There was a time I thought people who study medicine were the smartest in the world. Because their grades don’t allow them to have a job while studying. Their classes take almost every active hour of the day, so it’s like: either you sacrifice everything for study, or nothing.
I believed in that so much that I booked a consult with the doctor from the company I worked for. I was in an industry making car parts, and the doctors there usually do exams for employees, help with injuries, stuff like that. Most of the time they are still studying, in the final semesters of medicine.
For me, that was perfect. I actually wished the doctor was still a student, because I thought: he studies hard, right? He went through this, studying every active hour of the day for at least 6 years. So what’s the secret? Strict diet? Energy drinks? Caffeine just to read books? And what about exam days? Whatever it is, I wanted too. At that time, I was already in my first year of my bachelor in Information Technology Management.
I think everyone should have this conversation with a doctor. It’s too long for me to write everything here, but my advice is: book the visit, and bring your questions prepared so it’s worth it. Still, I’ll share the points I felt were most important:
Do it → First step. Doesn’t matter if your diet is bad, if you don’t sleep well, if your money situation is not the best. If you want that degree, that certification, go ahead. Apply, subscribe, join. You’ll feel how it is. If it goes bad, you deal with extra exams, but it’s fine. The goal is to finish, to learn, and to become the professional you want to be.
Eat good → Don’t eat too much before study or class. It’s better to take small breaks and snack when you’re hungry than to fill your stomach before studying. If you eat heavy, your body goes into that “shut down” mode (scientific name is postprandial somnolence, it’s when your body shifts energy to digestion and makes you drowsy).
Sleep → If you can’t sleep well… yeah, me too. Many people can’t. That’s why medicine exists. Go to a doctor, say you’re studying hard and struggling with sleep. They’ll suggest activities, diet, maybe medicine to help until you’re able to sleep naturally again. Like—ok, you’re under stress, fine. But now you’re not sleeping too? And for how many days? It’s better to see a doctor, ask for some help, maybe take a medicine for a while, and eventually get better.
At the end, it’s all about routine, consistency, and trying to enjoy what you’re doing. You can force yourself through something you don’t like, but if you choose to study, be good at it, be professional at it. Doing extra effort forever on something you hate is way harder.
Now to understand the image:
Left side → a docker compose file starting a kafka cluster with sasl/ssl env variables. Right side → a cat of kafka server logs running + the folder showing all components where the compose is.
The screen is split with tmux. Code is running in terminal, with neovim (theme: sonokai) + some lsp.
About the food: tuna with sauce, tomato, and eggs.

Whoa, I'm an alien

"He is back and he is seeking revenge!!" That’s what one of my teammates said after we wrapped up a big performance upgrade on a server that was… let’s say, not performing its best. Highs and lows, right? Complex, data-heavy, fast, reliable, and done for the best 'top dogs' in the game (me included).
And then another kind of thing... I was talking with a friend who’s been struggling to find a job in his field (he's studying management, which is a solid and common path). So, why not help a little bit? (That is what is in the image, do not call me a click baiter*)
I strongly believe that if you're struggling to get into any area, a nice way to present yourself is by having a page—it can be pure HTML/CSS or a cloned repo with some kind of "personal website template" using all the NodeJS you want.
Then, turn it into a DNS like "yourname-myprofession.com" so you can show a clean, well-designed QR Code with your avatar during interviews. It’s a cleanest way possible to present your résumé and experience. Tech skills are like magic, especially for those who haven't seen it before.
I found myself surrounded by companions daring to tackle a real software architecture challenge. We shared a good wine and cheese to conquer it together! (Unfortunately, there’s always something waiting to be dealt with on Monday.)
The glow of my Neovim terminal in Monokai theme reflects my rhythm — a guy who doesn’t stop on weekends but knows that balance isn’t about being all-in, all day.
The setup screams character: a seamless fusion of productivity and comfort. Lazygit commands at my fingertips, a Ghibli-esque avatar paired with Neofetch adding a touch of Tumblr aesthetic, and a playlist of Korean indie OSTs playing in the background to add depth to every keystroke.
This is how I drive — in code, creativity, and moments that are unapologetically mine.
NOTE: Little off because my computer was broken and cost so much to repair.
This month I have focus on Kafka arquitecture, ACL's, complex conrigurations, common patterns and complex patterns like CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation)
Normal night in the midnight.
A beautiful rainy day!
I go to a deep dive into Keytool features in Java to better understanding Certification Authorization and truststores (Java key stores).
A mixed with oracle documentation, IA made Q&A about it, tutorials videos from YouTube and checked real case scenarios on StackOverFlow.

This one has an interesting story. It was in a place where we shared files through a shared data server locally (localhost only), so there was no network access to use the famous "I love PDF" or software like Adobe to convert and make some changes.
With that in mind, I used the PyPDF library to make a code that changes like converting, splitting, merging, and set it up on the server for people to use. Everyone loved both how the program worked and the crazy aesthetic that I made it and my boss approved. Well, problem solved! And fun too, I must say. And since this is a Studyblr, I have to mention how worthwhile it is to study a library you've never seen before but that seems to do everything you need at that moment. Putting a small project into practice, seeing how people react to it, then studying and improving it in a way that reflects your own growth. That was made with Django Web Framework.
Very busy week because I’m moving to a new city, but coding must go on!
After countless containers and virtual machines, I finally made a repository for my dotfiles, including Neovim, Tmux, Lazygit, etc. It’s so much simpler to grab my configurations from clone a repo, instead, I was used to send via FTP or something like that.
This week, I’ve been working on a short and simple video about using Kafka with the customizer terminal and Tmux. It’s incredibly easy to manage sessions by splitting them, which we use a lot because Zookeeper server and Kafka brokers still in single window each (If is local machine).
In the picture, I’m using the Kitty terminal with Tmux and 3 open windows: Neofetch, a CLI Pomodoro timer, and Lazygit.
In the YouTube window, the title in japanese means "Hikaru Utada playlist for a rainy day" I love hear this type of playlist while studying. I’ll leave the link to the playlist in case you want to listen too, just click here.
Getting old is interesting. I've always been a middle ground between sports (skateboarding, surfing, jiu-jitsu) and an avid student. Over time, it's clear that you can't keep trying the same tricks, just as you can't study the same way.
Today, as I'm writing an article about event-driven architectures, I realize that final exams in college were much easier, just like it's not as easy to jump the same stairs on a skateboard as I did when I was 18. In the image, you can see my favorite note-taking app, Obsidian, and my Neovim terminal. I'm diving deep into Java, and for that, I'm taking a Spring Boot bootcamp offered by Claro through the DIO Innovation One platform.
Cast the first stone the one who has never spent the ENTIRE FREE TIME on a day updating public things like the GitHub README, HomePage website, articles or ordinary links on Linkedin.
That is what happened to me today: The free time I had outside of work was solely dedicated to getting these things up to date. I made a post on LinkedIn, updated my GitHub README, deployed my homepage, and now I feel worthy of being socially visited on the World Wide Web, haha'
Definitely this counts as productive night of studies.
I arrived early, grabbed my seat, and dive into another incredible Golang SP event at Microsoft Reactor.
During the event, we discussed the simplicity of error handling in Go, which was practically reinforced by creating a CSV file parser, ensuring that any issues encountered are well identified and handled.
Today I have an merge conflict plus a deploy error in my link in bio app which is deployed in Fly io. Not big deal, just came out that was auth error in deployment, but about the merge conflict was a little bit more than a few lines.
