I often share this 📃


This blog is highly opinionated, so don’t expect it to fit into a specific category. Think of it as a glimpse into my personal diaries and PKMs. While you’ll often come across software engineering content, it’s not limited to that—don’t be surprised if you stumble upon a recipe! 😋

Here are some general categories you can expect:

  • Technical Notes 📝
  • Random Snapshots 📸
  • Recipes 🍔
  • Reflections & Meditations 🧘‍♂️📔
  • Movie/Book Reviews 🎥📚
  • Music Playlists (I enjoy music of all kinds! 🎧)
  • Random Thoughts inspired by daily events

It’s a little bit of everything, just like life.

Social Media Detox 🧪


I’ve been on a long journey to distance myself from the toxicity of social media, and I’m envisioning this space as my peaceful refuge—a place where I can share freely with a smaller, more intentional audience who genuinely cares, rather than just passive scrollers.

Why I Avoid Social Media?

Social media represents the modern-day equivalent of a slavery industry. People become ensnared by forces that provoke feelings like envy, anger, and low self-esteem, leading to impulsive reactions. Constructive discussions often seem impossible without damaging each other’s mental well-being.

In essence, I’m striving to maintain a healthy and balanced mind.

Hey Passerby! 👋


Welcome to Mohamed Halawa’s blog!

Online, you’ll usually find me as imhalawa though not on Instagram. No need to check; I’m inactive on most social media platforms.

I’m a software engineer by profession, but that’s just one aspect of who I am. I strongly believe that a person’s identity is better reflected through their thoughts, interests, and personality rather than their job title.

In my free time, I’m likely exploring my favorite spots in town, reading, listening to music, working out, playing video games, or catching up with friends. As for my favorite meal—don’t ask! I’m terrible at remembering names.
