How the Dutch Decided ‘Never Again’: Lessons from the Delta Works” “Never Again”: What a Day at Neeltje Jans Taught Me About Courage, Coastlines, and Cleaning Up Our Seas   From the storm room to the storm surge barrier, how a small country decided to out‑think the ocean. In a world hypnotized by AI headlines, it’s easy to forget the miracles people built with grit, math, and mud on their boots. I spent a day on Neeltje Jans, the man‑made work island in Zeeland that became the public face of the Netherlands’ Delta Works . Inside the Delta Experience , a door slammed, wind screamed, rain hammered the windows, and in seconds I was in 1953: a child alone in a room, the water rising. The simulator cranked the wind to over 130 km/h and, for a moment, history was not a date but a force pressing on my chest. ( Deltapark Neeltje Jans ) That night in January 1953 , a North Sea storm pushed water into the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta, and 1,836 people in the Netherlands died. 9% of Dutc...

  A founder’s note from the Netherlands I’ve loved technology since I was a kid. Software and AI kept me curious, motivated, and building, first for myself, then for startups and big enterprises. After many projects, one belief kept getting stronger: Technology isn’t the goal. It’s a tool , a powerful one, to help people, to create something amazing, and to make a good changes in the world. PlantYourTip is one of those small, good changes I want to talk about. The spark We’re entering a time when AI can automate more of the boring parts of work. My hope is that frees people to create more, to write, teach, stream, design, share skills, and build small businesses around their passions. But creators, influencers, and small businesses need simple ways to be discovered, to organize their links, to get supported, and (this part matters to me) to do some good every time they’re supported.

My Unforgettable Brazilian Adventure Introduction I’ve always dreamed of exploring Brazil: the rhythm, the colors, the breathtaking nature, and of course, the legendary Carnival. This past February, I finally made it happen. I traveled from the Netherlands (Amsterdam) with a stopover in Rome to reach Brazil, embarking on an adventure filled with vibrant city life, roaring waterfalls, dense Amazonian rainforest, and the exhilarating beats of samba. Before diving into the details, I want to give special thanks to our tour leader, Shahab Cheraghi . He’s an incredibly experienced guide who’s visited Brazil more than 40 times, and his expertise was invaluable for navigating a country where safety can sometimes be a concern. If you plan on a similar journey, I highly recommend traveling with a knowledgeable guide like him. In this travelogue, I’ll walk you through my day-by-day journey, complete with stories, fun facts, and personal experiences. I’ll also include (in my actual Medium post) ...
