My Best Life Investment Cost Only €200. Meet "Grandma" 👵💻
We live in a world where €200 (around £170) vanishes from your wallet almost unnoticed. All it takes is a bigger grocery run for the family 🛒, a pair of branded sneakers 👟, or one intense night out on the town, and that amount becomes just a memory on your bank statement. However, for me, that same money became the foundation of a new life in Italy 🇮🇹. It might be shocking, but my best life investment cost less than a decent mid-range smartphone. How is that possible? 🤔

Polish Hell in the Shadow of Apulian Suns: The Anatomy of National Shame 🇮🇹🇵🇱
There are stories that keep you awake at night. There are facts that burn more intensely than the Italian sun in the middle of July. As a Pole living abroad, building my life far from home, I came across a story that made my face burn with shame. 🔥 I write this with difficulty, because the worst harm didn't come from the outside. It was orchestrated by my own countrymen. It wasn’t a foreign enemy—it was "one of our own" who inflicted this fate upon another. To say that "a Pole is a wolf to a Pole" is, in this case, a massive understatement. A Pole became a master, an executioner, and a ruthless oppressor to his own brother. 🐺💔

Between the Algorithm and Inspiration: Can a Writer Be a Good AI Trainer? 🤖✍️
Working in AI training while being a writer is a combination that, at first glance, sounds like being a part-time clown and a part-time gravedigger. 🤡⚰️ Absurd, seemingly contradictory, and yet, in my life, inseparable. Choosing AI was a conscious move, driven by a curiosity about tomorrow, but writing... that came a moment earlier, almost as an act of survival.

The Fear of Success is a Myth. We’re Simply Afraid of Becoming Someone New. 🇮🇹💻
We often hear the thesis that people are afraid of success. While it sounds intriguing, I believe this terminology doesn’t fully capture what’s happening in our heads. In reality, we aren't afraid of the moment we collect the trophy 🏆. We are afraid of what happens "in between." We fear that we won’t measure up to the bar we’ve set for ourselves, that our incompetence will be exposed, and that we will ultimately fail in front of everyone. This paralysis has a name—it is the fear of losing our safe, familiar "self" in favor of someone we have yet to become. 👤

Digital Carrion: How AI Gave Scammers a Second Life and Why Stolen Money Stinks 🤮💸
The world has gone crazier than ever before, but this madness isn’t happening on the streets—it’s happening in our pockets, on the smartphone screens we feed on from dawn till labels. 📱 As someone for whom the internet is a workplace, a testing ground, and a place of rest, I spend my entire day online. I sit there, I observe, and more and more often, I am beyond stunned. How is it possible that in an age of almost limitless opportunities for honest earnings, so many people choose to be digital hyenas? 🐺💻

Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies in 2026: More than Just Investments – New Business Applications 🚀
When we hear “blockchain” or “cryptocurrencies,” most of us immediately think of Bitcoin, speculation, and volatile investments. 💰 However, focusing solely on price charts means missing the bigger picture. Blockchain is much more than digital coins; it is a fundamental shift in infrastructure. It is a technology that is radically changing how global companies operate, store sensitive data, and verify complex transactions without traditional intermediaries. 🏢

From Tons of Iron to a Gram of DNA – The Fascinating Evolution of Data Storage
Did you know that the first hard drive in 1956 weighed over a ton, was the size of two refrigerators, and could hold just 5 MB of data? Today, the same amount of information fits on an area smaller than a fingernail, and technology keeps moving forward.

AI as a Confidant: Between Salvation and the Abyss 🤖💔
More and more often, we encounter situations where people treat a chatbot as a confidant, a confessor, a friend, or their only companion. It is in human nature to need to "vent" and release difficult emotions 🗣️. Sometimes a lack of family, a lack of trust in one's surroundings, or most often, paralyzing shame, makes us write to a chat window instead of a fellow human being.

🚀From Terminator to Reality: My Vision of the World in 10 Years.
🎥 Dreams Power the Silicon Many of you know that since I was a child, my imagination was fueled by classics like "The Terminator" and "Star Trek". 🖖 Back then, it felt like pure science fiction. Today, it’s becoming the bedrock of our daily lives. Literature and cinema weren’t just entertainment—they were the fuel for engineers who turned those visions into code and silicon. 💻

How Personal Computers Have Evolved in Speed Over the Years 💻⚡
The first personal computers we used long ago are dramatically different in computing power compared to what we have today. In this article, I wanted to take a closer look at how PC specifications evolved over the years. Let’s start with 1985–1989, some time before I was even born.

How AI Became My Personal Teacher🤖📚
Today, I want to share a practical example of using AI in learning and work, based on my own experience. Recently, I took a qualification exam to apply for a job. The material was extensive, complex, and entirely in English. Although English itself isn’t a problem for me, the sheer volume of information was overwhelming. After reading the entire course, I felt like I was “hearing bells but not knowing in which church they are ringing.” I recognized terms and concepts, but I struggled to connect them into one coherent picture. There were definitions, frameworks, processes, and detailed explanations — all important, yet difficult to organize in my head.
