No bullshit mentality
I live by what I call the “no bullshit mentality”. This means I’m always honest, whether the question is personal or business-related. I’ll always respond with complete honesty—though sometimes, I may take a more diplomatic approach. In the past, during initial interviews for potential projects, I’ve focused on getting to know the clients while allowing…

Never give up
It was a cold, April morning as I woke up in Manang, a small village high in the Himalayas. It was an acclimatisation day, meant to help our bodies adjust to the altitude. I planned to hike to the Ice lake some 1000 metres above Manang. I hadn’t packed lightly as most people do, because…

Time for new challenges
When I was a little kid I didn’t know what to be when I grow up. I thought of myself as a pilot, firemen or astronaut. Sometimes, I wanted to drive race cars or be the one who drives a super-fast train. Don’t want to read the whole story? Skip to a “challenge me” part…

Another year, another WordCamp Belgrade
Maybe I’m biased when it comes to the Serbian community. I don’t know. I know these people for quite some time now and I know the amount of work they put into organizing events and eventually – annual WordCamp. WordCamp Belgrade 2016 is the second WordCamp in Belgrade and this year it was even bigger…
