Yes Jun 21, 2025

After translating a bunch of technical documentation, I came to really appreciate simplicity. In writing, design, daily life, meal, clothing, you name it.

And I've also become a lot less tolerant toward BS, like a few engineers I know personally. Or maybe it's because I'm just getting old? Who knows?

Absolutely! Jun 21, 2025

I have translated some Christian texts such as sermons and a devotional book which brought me joy and wisdom. They changed my perspective about my life a lot!
