Give me the chills

We should share what we know, and learn from others

  • The best way to learn a language using the Jetpack WordPress Plugin

    The best way to learn a language using the Jetpack WordPress Plugin

    In 2015 I decided I would commit to writing a private no-comments blog everyday.

    I got inspired by reading Seth Godin, “The Icarus Deception”, where Seth writes about how important this daily action is.
    As a non-english person (I’m italian), this was sure a tough thing to do, mostly because I already know how much difficult is to write good english with no errors.

    But there’s one thing that’s helping me improve the way I learn in English, and a few tricks I’d love to share about learning a different language. (more…)

  • Learning the hard way and setting goals, my story of failure

    Learning the hard way and setting goals, my story of failure

    Lately last year (2014) I decided I wanted to change part of my life.
    I realized that a lot of my time was spent commuting, that my job wasn’t exciting me very much and that I wanted to be able to stay with my family when they needed it.

    After this thought I understood that the best way to turn this situation around was to find a different job.
    I was already familiar with the idea of working remotely (mostly thanks to the Basecamp book, REMOTE).
    It was something that fascinated me and I wanted to start doing that.

    I was already organized and focused on tasks, therefore taking the remote step would be effortless.

    The remote thing was something very popular in some companies and I already knew some I would’ve liked to be in, some really good companies, like Automattic (the ones behind WordPress). (more…)
