Beauty ideals
My top 3 beauty ideals in people:

Laughing or smiling with all your heart makes you 200% more likeable at first glance.
🤌 Healthy self-care.
A well-groomed exterior and interior conveys respect for yourself and your fellow human beings.

What can you actually do?!
The other day I was told that my portfolio doesn't show clearly enough what I can really do. Specifically, which programming languages I master as a developer.
I found this feedback very valuable. For some time now, I've been thinking about how I can improve my presentation to …
I am a Design-Driven Developer.
But what does that mean exactly? It means that I put the design process and the user experience at the center of my work as a developer. In detail, this means:

I try to understand the needs and expectations of the end users and incorporate them into my …
"He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words"
Do you know this? There is 10 seconds of silence and then it comes - the famous "And what else?". Every time someone says that, I have to smile because it's so predictable. Often I can't resist answering with the opening quote (by Elbert Hubbard).

An hour later, I delivered a working prototype to him. (link …
"The others don't know how good you are."
I had to learn that the hard way when I started as a freelancer.
In an environment where your reputation precedes you, you don't have to do much to be seen as the best choice. But in a new environment, you have to do a lot more than you think. You have to overcome your ego and …
"Every 7 years you are a new person."
Even if this sentence is controversial, it applies to me in a way. Because 7 years of Jung von Matt change you. Basic. You get green blood. You will be hardened. Sometimes frustrated. But luckily you're hardened. You become brave. You get loud. You become excellent at what you …
