Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.

A few months ago, I first heard about what's known as dopamine fasting. Yes, the term already sounds like a hype and is probably not particularly scientifically sound. However, I find the core idea of engaging more consciously with dopamine very interesting. I particularly appreciate Ali Abdaal's video, as it provides a lot of practical content that can be directly integrated into everyday life.

One of the organizations that fascinates me the most is definitely Shopify. In the new Dive.club podcast with Ridd and Anthony Menecola, there are again great insights on this topic. For me, the GSD framework is particularly interesting. You can also find more insights on this in written form here.

After more than 10 years, I have acquired a gaming PC again. The special thing about it is that I built it completely myself and, in a way, created a little dream setup from all the things I used to dream about. A particularly big inspiration for this was the videos by Matt Lee. I mean... look at this!
