No Legacy, Just Curiosity

A reflection on learning without fame, driven by curiosity, persistence, and the joy of understanding—while building friendships and a world where everyone’s strangeness and beauty can belong.
No Legacy, Just Curiosity

I do not want fame, nor do I care about leaving a legacy. It makes little difference to me whether I am known or not. I simply want to learn and understand.

Many things are driven by hype, while others make us feel less excluded—or, more accurately, more included but I am not looking for any of that. In truth, I do not care what you are, as long as you have something to teach. I am here to learn from you, and I hope you can learn something from me as well, whether in programming or in management.

I am, by far, the worst programmer I know, despite having “played around” with Delphi since 1997. On the other hand, it would be equally true to say that I am good at management. But none of that really matters. What matters is that, in this space, we are driven by curiosity, by that sudden urge to keep going without giving up, and by the desire to see things work.

Curiosity is the force that drives us. It makes us dig deeper, leaving behind beautiful memories and nurturing new friendships (perhaps lifelong ones) each person with their own strangeness and beauty, exactly as they are. Together, we are building a world that adapts to us.
