Do the math – markjeee

http://markjeee.com/posts/478/do-the-math

My name is Mark. Doing the math: 8hrs of sleep, 9hrs at work, 2hrs commute, 1hr grooming, which leaves us 4hrs of free time every work day. In that “free” 4hrs, 2hrs of that is spent grooming and taking kids to school. 1hr on fitness. 1hr reading a book/writing. In the 9hrs at work, 2hrs is spent in eating, chit-chat, and self activities; and another 1hr in meetings and coordination, which leaves only 6hrs for actual work. View all posts by Mark.

Mark – markjeee

http://markjeee.com/posts/author/mark

My name is Mark. I did this talk at Geeks on a Beach 2016, about software strategy and teams in a startup. I am sorry friends, but i think i did a bad job in delivering it. I was worried this is first time i talked about this topic, and i ended up reading most of the time. I also lost my way through my plan a few times. Anyway, i’m posting it here, in case there are interest to learn more about it. I find the ideas here as very useful for any software team in a startup. August 27, 2016. August 27, 2016.

My name is Mark. Life is an adventure. A few things about me:. I am a computer programmer from the 90s. A late 90s kind. And have been coding ever since. I prefer working with a small team, with big ambitions. That can also be a small team within a bigger organization. I’ve co-founded a few startups, since 1999. The most recent is Caresharing. I measure my competence based on my skills and my mastery in them. I like to go on an adventure, discover things, endure hard stuffs, and test my known limits.

Limited Internet – markjeee

http://markjeee.com/posts/463/limited-internet

My name is Mark. A few days ago i complained about the change in the “unlimited” mobile data plans in the country. I think the change is a stupid mistake. Yesterday, i saw myself struggling to herd 3 kids to follow my instructions of washing up, getting dressed, so we can stroll around our neighborhood mall. I made all kinds of threats, no more Jolibee, no more Tabby, no more Puter, no more PS3, no more beach, no more Internet. Of all these, no more Internet sounds the most interesting. Why a lot of ad c...

Random thought: Vacationing at work – markjeee

http://markjeee.com/posts/568/random-thought-today-vacationing-at-work

My name is Mark. Random thought: Vacationing at work. While i was busy at work today, i realized, the contrast between the environment i have when in the office, and when i am at home. I have 3 kids and a very small house. Peace and quiet is a luxury here, that if ever there is, it’s during schooldays and i have to be in the office. Weekends, are endless bickering on every thing kids bicker about these days. Programmer, Entrepreneur, Trail runner, and Mountain Biker. Software guy at Caresharing.

I turn 34 today – markjeee

http://markjeee.com/posts/453/i-turn-34-today

My name is Mark. I turn 34 today. Hi friends, thank you for all the greetings. It certainly brightens up my day, knowing i am being remembered! 34 years does seems like a long time to be alive, and i feel i need to reflect what i have learned so far. I feel older, and wiser, and more reserved, and i feel i have been through many battles already in my life. Spending most of my years in a startup environment, is really something. Accepting that i can’t be everything to a lot of things, i am focusing ...

Different locale – markjeee

http://markjeee.com/posts/416/different-locale

My name is Mark. Touring a new country, i find that the plants and vegetations are often the same. If you take out the context of Singapore, their rain forest and numerous nature parks in the city are very similar to what we have in the Philippines. What makes a difference is how the plants are interpreted and presented. How they matter to the local culture and history. This perspective makes every place unique. And i think this is a nice experience to look forward to, in every travel. May 8, 2014.

Compromise – markjeee

http://markjeee.com/posts/480/compromise

My name is Mark. One of the most difficult skill to master, and the most valuable in a startup. I think entrepreneurs need to master this skill, given against a lot of odds and with limited resources. So the challenge is to know where and when to compromise, until you reach the ideal situation. And compromising needs a complete buy-in, that if everyone don’t understand it, then there’s a big risk the compromise becomes a liability. View all posts by Mark. December 4, 2014. January 3, 2015.
