Hacker Residency: Day #22

Hey there 👋🏻

Today was probably one of my best days at the hacker residency 🤩!

This morning, I was able to work hard for 2 hours. I answered all my emails, fixed 2-3 bugs, released a new feature on Uneed (drag and drop for media in posts), another one on sudokiu (forgot passwords 🙈)…

Only downside: my dog, Kadoc, is sick 😕. I hope he’ll recover fast!

After my morning work session, David ordered an amazing meal (sorry David, I forgot the name again 😭): these spring roll-like things that we made ourselves!! It was super friendly, very original, and delicious. Once again, I almost died tasting a spicy sauce, but that's part of the fun 😂

DO YOU SEE THAT?? They leave the fish heads in the sauce 😭! I tried it anyway, but… weird, no?

Right after that, a small group of people went to the Lighthouse coworking space, but I wanted to walk a bit, enjoy the fact that it wasn't raining anymore, and buy postcards for my friends and family! I hit my 10,000 steps 😎, and honestly, it felt good to immerse myself a bit in the streets of Da Nang. I hadn't taken the time to do that yet.

It was around 2 PM, and I couldn't help but draw a pretty cool parallel with France: Vietnamese people spend quite a bit of time on terraces, chilling and chatting haha, I love that!

And I didn't come back empty-handed:

Not bad, right 😎?

I then joined Brian, Yen, Ayush, and Minh-Phuc at the Lighthouse for a few hours of work. Laurent also joined us, it was a nice moment! I didn't manage to work a ton, but that's okay: I ate an incredibly good pastry whose name I forgot, France better watch out hehe.

We then went to a restaurant that Minh-Phuc recommended, and I'll say it straight: it was my best meal since I arrived in Vietnam. Thanks Phuc!

I then went back to the hotel to watch the 4th episode of Platibus (not great honestly, a bit disappointed), play video games, and sleep 😂.

This day was incredible, I'm so happy to be here 😊!

See you tomorrow,

Thomas
