What they believe
-
Tech communities are culturally homogeneous — people in them think, solve problems and talk in much the same way
Everyone thinks the same way, solves problems the same way, even talks the same way.

When rent is high relative to mortgage costs, people prefer to buy a home with a mortgage rather than rent.
in London the rent is very high compared to the mortgage. So people prefer to take a mortgage and buy an house and park their rent in EMI.

I Joined BNI, Here's Why a Tech Guy Walked Into a Business Network Said 13 Jun 2026
In a structured professional network, real relationships form in the informal time around the meeting, not within the formal structure itself
The informal networking around it is where the relationships actually build.
I Joined BNI, Here's Why a Tech Guy Walked Into a Business Network Said 13 Jun 2026
A meeting format that never bends and that people consistently follow is what makes an organization run reliably across many locations
The rules don't bend. People show up on time, follow the structure, and it just works.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

- One beautiful app is coming soon ✨ 13 Oct 2026
- Capy UI update. Got feedback that it felt very basic, so I added Material 3 Expressive: more animation, everything looks more fluid, even the app center. Also you can now switch the accent colour. 13 Oct 2026
- People asked how I made the Capy UI. ChatGPT for the sketch, screens and sprites (soft 3D beat pixel art), a transparent PNG sprite sheet so I didn't have to cut out backgrounds, Codex and Claude Code to cut it up and ported it to LVGL. 12 Oct 2026

- What Capy runs on: an ESP32 with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a round touchscreen. It's a less-powerful chip on purpose. The server does the processing and sends back audio, so the device only has to play it. 11 Oct 2026
- I've made ton of updates to Capy, a little personal AI companion that I've been building recently. Hold to talk, get answers, set timers, alarms and reminders. 10 Oct 2026

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
