Boss
Se duce un tip cu o mașină de lux într-o parcare a unui hotel. Parcagiul întreabă – “Parchezi mașina, boss?” Apare însă imediat și unul cu un Logan, se dă jos mașina. Cum să i te adresezi noului tip, că nu poate fi tot “boss”, te aude persoana cu mașina de lux? “Parcăm mașina, bossulică?”
(din povestiri reale și poate un pic romanțate)
Se creează prea mult conținut?
Despre podcasturi – Sunt prea multe? Durează oare podcasturile prea mult? Un podcast e pentru ascultat când faci altceva. Din perspectiva asta, două ore per episod nu e enorm, că sunt două ore în care faci altceva, și podcastul e doar un fel de zgomot de fundal. Cel puțin pentru mine.
La modul general, nu neapărat de podcasturi – Legat de cantitatea de material produs, e o vorbă care zice că e întotdeauna loc liber la vârf. Adică dacă ai ceva calitativ, întotdeauna va fi o foame de așa ceva, tot timpul vei avea mușterii.
Mie nu mi se pare că e prea mult conținut, ci că e prea puțin. Problema se pune la ce e “conținut” și ce nu. Dacă pentru mine “conținut” = “conținut înalt calitativ”, mai e loc de creștere suficient.
Spre exemplu, am parcurs multe materiale de Seth Godin, Rand Fishkin, Derek Sivers. De la fiecare am citit multe articole de blog, unele podcast-uri, unele cărți. Dar nu simt că aș fi la 90% cu nevoia de conținut de la ei, și că mâine, când intră un nou articol de la Seth Godin, voi fi îmbufnat. Dimpotrivă, mă voi mira că e doar unul.
Concluzia mea: Altfel, volumul de conținut produs pe mine mă bucură. Am de unde alege, și dacă mi se pune pata pe un invitat anume, îl pot găsi nu doar în locul A, ci și în locurile B, C, D – unde a dat interviu, și chiar dacă a repetat unele lucruri, a zis cel puțin câteva lucruri noi și relevante în locuri diferite.
Why choose WordPress as a CMS?
Why should one choose WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System)?
I think the main reason is the ease with which you can make changes.
Are you aiming for good SEO? A general SEO plugin, a caching plugin (like LiteSpeed Cache or WP Rocket), and a WebP plugin (Imagify, Smush) might do wonders. Lazy loading (a3 Lazy Load) images could also help.
Interested in a specific thing, a micro-mini-small-tiny thing you specifically want, but which, generally, is rather hard to get done internally, by a programmer? There’s likely a plugin for that.
Do you want to change how the website looks? Choose a paid template, do some customizations, and you’re good to go.
The thing is, each and every thing you want to get done with WordPress can get done in other platforms. You can code HTML from scratch, you can choose another platform, you can make your own CMS.
But it just gets harder and harder, as you administer more things.
If you have a one-page website, you can consider having it done in plain HTML, although even for this WordPress might help with a template and solutions for better performance (speed).
But if you manage things like content, users, security, speed for a larger website, WordPress is just the easier path. Lots of providers “fight” to get a good SEO to their users. Lots of providers of plugins compete to get good plugins. Lots of theme creators try to solve the needs of the aesthetics of users.
It’s just easier with WordPress.
Burning
There’s a song which says:
“… Mă consum pân-o să mă fac scrum” (Alina Eremia – Cum se face – YouTube)
(adapted translation) “… I stress myself so much, that I’ll turn into ashes. I’m burning!”
Should you do it? Should you allow yourself to be so immersed into the living, that you feel you’re burning?
It depends. On one hand, stressing yourself too much might not bring you good results. You might lose some health aspects, you might live less, you might have an unpleasant life.
On another hand, if you’re into the flow, if you’re enjoying what you do daily, you might do some great things.
So, it’s unclear. I’d say it like this – if “burning” helps you do good work, and it doesn’t affect your health (physical and mental), do it.
If you get too stressed, do stress over this, too – how to stop being so stressed?
On placing blame
Sometimes, I get offended.
But, whenever I write something on this blog I try to speak about things that happen, as far as I can tell, to more than a single person.
So, if X does something that gets me upset, I’ll generally avoid writing about that thing.
But, if there is a generally bad thing (a company doing poor things to lots of people; a bad thing in the society), I will consider writing about this.
Why the difference?
- If I’m the one being offended, I am allowed to forgive that bad thing. It’s OK.
- If there is more than one party offended, it’s just for me to take action.

Work fast
One time, during my professional life, I encountered a person who used to reply very fast to most emails.
Not only this, but the person also used to solve tasks quickly.
Some tasks were solved less-than-perfect, but, boy-oh-boy! – Were they done quickly.
I tried to learn from this as much as possible.
I tend to reply rather quickly to most messages.
As said before, if you give a quick answer you help that person lose less of their time.
If you value their time as much as yours, you might want to try and work fast and reply to emails quickly.
At least, that’s what I try to do.
The games of power, the unwanted power of thorns
I have vivid memories from the first part of my life when certain persons of authority (mostly, teachers), wanted to show that they had power.
And they did, they did have power.
But, at what cost?
What did it cost to put this power into practice?
People had not only power but also exercised this power aggressively. It felt like thorns.
I do have positive memories, moments of happiness, times of enjoyment.
But there were also times when people in power abused their power.
How did I use to look at their shadows?
As if it were huge, with immense power.
Because some pain of the thorns was real, even if the power was fictive.
The solution? Do some therapy, try to view the past as not-so-bad, associate good things with it, calm your emotions.
But some remains of the thorns are still there.
«People think about petty things» – Robert Kiyosaki
In an interview (BANII TE FAC SĂRAC!), Robert Kiyosaki said:
«I don’t think about petty things. People think about petty things» – Robert Kiyosaki
This is so great!
It’s so irrelevant to think about the small things and to ignore the big stuff in life.
Sure, “big things” can mean different things to different people.
But focusing on the “small aspects”, talking about trivial things, might stop you from doing greater things.
Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg are told to have a limited wardrobe, not focusing so much on the small decision.
Barack Obama used to choose between just two options when picking a wardrobe, as a President.
Sure, it matters to look fine. But it matters even more to keep the focus where it’s important.
