2025 W2: Recap

  • I’ve been refactoring tests for an app, and they are written in Objective-C. Being able to navigate these classes with ease, and then trying to run a map, filter, reduce on an Array feels weird 😆

  • We celebrated two birthdays this week: a family friend, and then my brother’s. He turns 27 this year. Almost hitting that 30 mark!

  • I haven’t been listening to any podcasts this week, been incredibly tied down by work, personal responsibilities, and spending time with the kiddo.

  • I’ve been thinking of starting to listen to audio books when I work. Help with focus. Any Mac apps which lets me play audio books? Even a web app will do. Don’t want this on my phone, not yet. If you have any recommendations, any genre except for Lifestyle, Entertainment (thinking Celeb lifestyles), and Science Fantasy, please email me your recommendations.


And to end the week, my friends, wife, and kiddo, visited Boteco. They revamped their menu last year, and we’ve finally been able to schedule a date this week when all of us could get together. Before I say anything more, some food photos first:

Some Tapas: Grilled Buff Tacos, Arachini Balls, Brazillian Pao New Zealand Lamb served on mashed potatoes Brazillian Rub Steak ᠆ Medium

At first, I had my eyes set on the lamb my friend ordered, and it looks delicious as you can see, but as soon as my steak arrived, I wanted nothing else!

I had a good steak after almost 10 years! And that’s a very long time to go without a good steak. I hope to revist the place again, and try their other steak offerings, paired with a beer!
