hi! im kai, i love to write, but sometimes i write too much.. currently with cs + ml engineering :) building odysser and alts morocco. i will usuall...
casablanca, morocco. we have this form for anyone who wants to join alts morocco's sessions (alts is an IRL group of 30 builders and creators who do cool shit in morocco) one of the questions is simple: "what are you working on?" what some people actually write is madness. "startup." "project." "web app." "i don't know." and i get it, it feels low pressure: "startup dyalach? mazal kanchof." but…
hanover, germany. 9:08 pm before i came to france, i had all kinds of ideas about what it would be like. some were based on movies, others on stories from people around me (talking about history o colonisation we know ach kayn, btw ma3ndich mea fronsi hh) and you know the kind of talk that your uncle hit u with: “oropa mab9a fiha mayddar a weldi, don't come, there's nothing left there.” but i’ve…
watch me yap about it here: https://youtu.be/pGpFt_aCg1s a friend of mine the other day asked me: "what are u working on these days?" to my homies, i overshare. so i did. but then she hit me with a question: "dude u already have so much work to do.. why u keep torturing urself?" and it floored me. because on the surface, i know it looks excessive. but it’s not about wanting to be busy. it’s not…
nantes, france it was a quiet saturday morning, maendi mayddar, i went to a coffeeshop to work for the first time since getting here it was tucked in this small, almost-forgotten street urban, a little raw, but something about the vibe felt right like the kind of place where people come to think i ordered an espresso sat down opened my laptop tried to lock in then a lady in her twenties came and…
i stopped being a bookaholic like I used to three years ago. my excuses were the usual: too busy to sit down with a good story eye strain from staring at a computer screen trying to read PDFs (i still struggle with this when i try to read papers plz help) sometimes i even blame covid vaccine for messing with my focus u know how you just spit out reasons to dodge what you used to love? that was…
every now and then, life reminds me of that quote. life is full of contrasts: joy and pain, success and failure, connection and loss. some say the beauty is in the balance, in the fleeting nature of it all. but i don’t think beauty requires sadness. it’s there in the moments that just are.. in the quiet, the ordinary, the unremarkable. we don’t need to romanticize suffering to find meaning.…
uni is done.. finished my final exams and hopefully i won't have to think about it ever again.. i feel like 12 yo me again. full of happiness to start doing stuff waaay crazier again. 2025 we up
i'm in a very critical situation. 1.5 months left for my last semester then will go for final year internship. i got many choices but at the same time i don't have much. the thing is: i don't want to go to a place just for the sake of going there.. i wanna work on myself.. not exactly on my own thing (at least not a main focus) improving my skills and getting to work in the industry would be cool,…
and i finished it successfully (alhamdulillah) so back to writing lol
