&lt;p&gt;September has just started and is already flying away, going by light-speed
fast! Christmas is almost knocking on the door. But I'm here to talk about
updates and what's going on recently. Let's dive in!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;September has just started and is already flying away, going by light-speed
fast! Christmas is almost knocking on the door. But I'm here to talk about
updates and what's going on recently. Let's dive in!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;hybrid work&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I decided (not entirely by choice) to go regularly to a coworking space near my
apartment. By regularly, I mean at least three times a week. The reasons are
noisy constructions at my building, constructions inside our apartment, and
giving my wife some space. (our apartment is very small, and she's in a
graduate program, needs silence to study).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I gotta admit, I thought I'd hate, but actually I can see its value now.
Getting out of the house is doing me so much good. I like the walking commute.
The space is on the fourth floor with a nice view, and there's free coffee
included!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is unexpected from me because I've been working from home since 2019, 7
years now, and until recently I was strongly refusing to go back to any office.
But here I am, and I'm pretty happy. Anyways, let's see what the recommendations
section brought this time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="section" id="recommendations"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;recommendations&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Along with updates, I'd like to share findings that caught my attention. They
might be useful, handy, entertaining. you judge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class="simple"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I'd like to kick off with &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://cassidoo.co/"&gt;Cassidy Williams&lt;/a&gt;. She's a Senior
Director of Developer Advocacy at GitHub and keeps a newsletter that's so
well-curated, it'd be a sin not to share it. You can have a &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://buttondown.com/cassidoo/archive"&gt;glance at it here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you are in the AI world, &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://www.devthusiast.com/"&gt;Devthusiast&lt;/a&gt; might interest you. This newsletter
covers what's happening and the bleeding-edge tech updates.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now if you're into AI and also into software engineering, take a look at
&lt;a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/mattpocock/skills"&gt;Matt Pocock's skillset&lt;/a&gt; to go the opposite way of &lt;em&gt;vibe-coders&lt;/em&gt;. Matt shared a &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6mYodf0dJM"&gt;YouTube Video&lt;/a&gt; with
first steps and how to get started.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On the frontend and UI/UX side, there's a great article that went around the internet
in the last few weeks about what would be the best dark mode toggle. Very
interesting discussion. &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://lea.verou.me/blog/2026/dark-mode-toggles-2/"&gt;Read it here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That's all for today! Thanks for reading. If you like this content, you might consider
