#Development

Last week I’ve set a goal for myself to go 100% without writing a single line of code manually. I’ve been trying agentic workflows for a year now. My first agentic tool I’ve tried was aider and it was pretty cool experience at that time. For the last few months I’ve been using OpenCode but I haven’t been able to let it control 100% of my results. Mainly because it hasn’t been able to earn my trust. I’ve been watching different tools for a long time and decided that it was time to try out something minimal. Something that I can make work for me. Make it work with my workflows and tools I use during work. Pi is a bare bones CLI agent similar to Claude Code, Codex CLI and OpenCode.

I’ve been writing my notes for over 4 years in markdown. I write my notes in similar style of a Zettelkasten method. I was inspired by foambubble project and was using it for quite some time. The goal of foambubble was to re-use as much free technology for writing and keeping second brain. The author Jani Eväkallio has chosen to write a plugin for VSCode and utilize git workflow. This approach as complicated for average human was very appealing to me as I was already user of certain tools.

I’ve become obsessed with cameras, during our Tenerife trip, where I got to use a borrowed mirrorless camera for the first time. After that, I researched which camera I’d buy for myself for five months. While watching all the reviews, I was interested in the exposure settings for each picture presented. I’ve displayed many photographs in our Tenerife vlog with my wife. I’ve decided that I’d like to show those exposure settings in my other videos as they might inspire other photographers. I’ve tried many image editors and tools, but not one was able to fulfill my demands on how I’d like to display those settings underneath each picture. Many tools supported some kind of framing, however it was always in a limited way.

Hey world, After a few months of work, I can finally present to you a new style for this site. The style isn’t the only thing that changed.

Long time no see! I noticed that I haven’t even posted about our wedding day.

We have started a new small internal project for automating a few workflows around counting worked hours and time offs. The application is a slack bot on top of node js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL database. We use 3rd party APIs to fetch data about the times which we need to accumulate and process to calculate valuable information to our users.

An automated testing suite for your application is like a feature requirements document. When this suite is passing, it means that the features are delivered correctly as described in the requirements.

Last week I’ve been invited as a guest in Sudolabs Products podcasts. I’ve been interviewed by the host and my colleague Ján Koscelanský on my experience with building and leading the team behind The Expert. We were also talking about implementing Continous Integration and End to End testing with Cypress framework. I have to admit, it was a wonderful experience and I’ve enjoyed it. I’d like to do it again in the future.

Do not use console directly. Programs should be able to define logging strategies dependant on the environment. We strongly recommend using a logging library such as Winston (commonly used in node.js programs).

Having good error handling practice is very important when building complex applications. Applications which consist of multiple applications such as web applications,

So I’ve been trying to set access to my CMS for a long time now. The problem was that in order to have CMS accessible through my domain, it requires an OAuth server. I’ve figured out that creating a custom serverless function which will handle the authentication with GitHub would be sufficient.

Technical debt is a massive problem that costs a lot of time for everyone working on the team. It should be part of the development cycle to eliminate it.

Last week I’d organized a small briefing at work about WebAssembly. The goal of the briefing was to give my colleagues an overview about what WebAssembly is and how it can be used to improve our products. I’ve used these notes for the discussion.

Creating my own website with blog was something I had in my mind from start of my professional career after I left school. I had a lot of new experience with development which I wanted to elaborate on and save into a small library so I can take a look back on my thoughts how they evolve over time.
