LIVE (with) LONG (covid) AND (try to) PROSPER

Covid changed the world as we knew it, at global scale. But it also changed the world of many people at a smaller scale. Studies show that up to 30 percents of people that were positive to covid end up having long covid, the chronic form of the illness. How do you keep living your life with a new disability that no one really understands ? You don't. Your life can't be what it was before, you have to adapt, to change and to find a way to be yourself within those new constraints.

Two year of long covid taught me a lot about myself. I had to meet myself aknew, to learn to live with myself again, and it has been a rocky path. Learning to live with a new disability isn't easy, doing it while trying to launch a new career and while still learning a new craft is... something else. But I (mostly) survived ! And I (mostly) did it ! So I think I should now share some little bits of wisdom about how to basically survive your daily life with long covid and try to have a prosperous career in tech while being chronically ill. And if you're very lucky, I'll even maybe share my tips on how to become a speaker at very serious tech events while having chronic fatigue and brain fog (notes ! it's all in the notes !).

Trying to live a good personnal and work life while having long covid isn't easy, but I'll share some of my tips learned after 2 years of living with that disability.
