Bok! I'm Hrvoje, but you can call me Shime.

I'm a web developer from Croatia. I like Borges, Emerson and, of course, Christopher Alexander. I don't like big cities, bureaucracy and, of course, LinkedIn.

My most popular blog post is Do whatever you can't stop thinking about, but The second promise is my favorite.

I love hearing from people who read my blog posts. You're always welcome to send me an email at [email protected].
