I disconnect once a year to recharge!

I disconnect once a year to recharge!

After a wonderful month-long holiday back in my home country, The Netherlands, I’m now back in Kuala Lumpur and ready to dive back into work. 🌏✈️

I spent quality time with friends and family, making the most of every moment. For some of my friends, it was their first time visiting The Netherlands.

It was so much fun to do all the tourist stuff with them—like eating haring, enjoying stroopwafels, and taking a canal boat ride.

I also made a special trip to Spain to visit my mom, which added even more joy to the journey.

During my time away, I made a conscious effort to disconnect—almost completely avoiding my laptop, except for three online team meetings that couldn’t wait.

I also took a break from my daily posts, which gave me a fresh perspective on balancing work and life.

Now, I’m feeling recharged and ready to get back to automating and simplifying processes! 💪

How do you stay disconnected during your holidays?

VS Code is NOT an IDE. And I like it that way. I use VS Code as a fast text editor. Just a couple of bare-bone plugins. No bloat. No unnecessary features. Just speed. I see people turning VS Code into a full-fledged IDE with tons of extensions. At that point… just use...
