If you're ever stuck on a problem, Stef is the most experienced rubber duck you'll find.
If explaining him your problem didn't trigger an epiphany however, he's happy to help and find a solution together. He might also be one of the only software engineers who prefers working on brownfield projects rather than greenfield ones.
What would be the first thing you buy after winning the lottery?
My grandparents farm, without a doubt. It's been in the family for a very long time, and I just want to keep it in the family. After that, maybe a cow or two, some chickens and just live off the land.

If you're too cold, you can always put on more clothes. If you're too warm, well, there's only a finite amount of clothes you can take off.
