Last Sunday, I visited a local modern art museum. As I strolled through the exhibitions, I noticed that while a few pieces stood out, I walked past most of them without much emotion or appreciation. For a moment, I wondered if I just didn't get it. Then it hit me: it's all kind of like wine.
Today marks the start of the UCI Downhill and Enduro World Cup event in Bielsko-Biała – my hometown. So, I thought it's only fitting to reflect on how my own approach to MTB has changed over the years, and not necessarily for the better.
Life works in strange ways. Sometimes, success comes down to being in the right place at the right time – but timing alone isn’t enough. What really matters is how prepared you are when that moment finally shows up.
If there’s one thing that can truly scale infinitely, it’s your AWS bill. And among everything they offer, managed database services are undoubtedly the crown jewel.
Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into microservices architecture. While exploring examples of where they shine and where they fall short, I couldn't help but reflect on how PHP approaches some of these challenges in its own unique way.
Just short of two years ago, I started learning Korean, or hangugeo as it's pronounced natively. Even though I already spoke four languages on a good to excellent level before, this might very well be the first time I'm enjoying the process of learning a new language.
I recently came across this post on LinkedIn, a pretty hilarious stab at AI produced content. Anyway, I think they're on to something. It's actually working. At least judging by this gem I got from Google's search AI widget.
In 2017, a colleague graciously shared this technique with me, thoughtfully nitpicking one of my first pull requests on the job. I've since made it my own, and even got it to rub off on some others.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably noticed a shift happening over the past year or two. Suddenly people left and right are coding, as generative AI agents have made it incredibly easy for anyone to create software. It's not the first time we've seen this kind of shift though!
On this day, exactly eight years ago, I had my first chat with Matt at the end of which he invited me to join Automattic. At that point, I could not have imagined this relationship would ever last this long. But the constant stream of ideas and challenges has kept me busy.
Time is the one resource we'll never get more of, yet somehow, it's one of the first things we forget when planning a project. If we know we're doing the right thing, then this is just what it takes, right? Maybe. But my advice would be to try and dig a little deeper.
With all the recent shakeups in international trade - mostly the U.S. and China wrestling for control while everyone else tries to get a hold of what's even going on - I figured it would be a good time to share a story about the time I tried to get a product made in Europe.
It's been a while since I last published anything... and it certainly wasn't for the lack of content or ideas. I dropped the habit after my server went up in flames and just haven't picked it up since.
