I’m tired of Next. I want to try something fresh. So I thought this is the time I look into other frameworks. Where would I go? Nuxt? Remix? Nah… Astro! Let’s test it and see if it can handle modern projects requirements. Here is...

In my 6 years career I almost never had to make an autogrowing textarea field like the ones we have in Jira or Linear (i.e. description fields). But recently, I had to make one...

It takes a lot of thinking when launching even a simple greenfield e-commerce site (without any legacy) for a small business. Apart from consider tech options, I also had to think about the UX, customer journey, and think about not only good outcomes, but also...

I’m the strong believer that front-end is for the user only, and that it should do the minimum. Calculations, filtering, sorting, mapping, and all of that sort of stuff should be done on the back-end. My opinion is that...

Setting up a storybook project should NOT be THAT hard. I mean, everyone uses Storybook, it’s the only viable option out there when working on a design system...

Up until maybe 2 years ago I’ve had this FOMO every time new library or framework was released. I’ve always thoughts that I HAD to learn it, otherwise I’ll be unemployable. And then I was stressing out when I didn’t have time to learn it ALL. Now is different...

All these cloud providers have certifications, courses, training, etc. and that's for a reason. The services that they have there are amazing, flexible and allow companies to do the craziest of things. They are also extremely complicated...

I dislike blockchain. Or I should say, I DID dislike blockchain.I did because I didn’t get it. I mean, I understood the idea behind it, but it seemed very farfetched. In addition, I kept hearing about all those new ICOs popping up with no proper technology behind them...

TL;DR: when you’re a startup, you have pressing deadlines to deliver features to make all kinds of stakeholders happy, incl. investors, users, etc. you’re basically fighting for your life...

The other day I launched a product on PH, StoreBot. Since I launched it, I haven't done any marketing, promotions or anything at all. I'm not going to tell you that I did that because...

This is the story about how I ended up having a burnout that I didn't even noticed I had. And for that reason I didn't stop, I just kept going, kept coding, kept working on a ton of projects, sometimes even at the same time....

You know how companies try to attract you by promising new and interesting challenges. Have you ever thought about what those challenges are or could be? Do you and I have them at OUR work?...

This is not one of those posts where I'm going to define a design system, tell you how it's usually created, who responsible for it, and how to evolve and manage it over time...

There is one interesting thing that I've learned when trying to do one of the tickets. This is actually something I've done before but never thought about it explicitly.

I'm currently working on a NextJS project where we're using `api` folder for all sort of calls: fetching data, authorization...

While working on one of the projects, I did some research on what can be done to improve the performance of our react app, loading time in particular. And so in this post, I’ve gathered a few tips that helped me...

Alexa SDK isn't that new, I think it's available since 2015. Yet, there isn't much support, isn't enough StackOverflow, and certainly isn't enough YouTube videos. So it can be tricky to debug where the app went wrong between Amazon dev portal...

I’ve read about something that I wouldn’t probably think about on a normal day: default parameter expressions in ES6 functions. In ES5 version, we would probably use the following pattern to create a function with default parameter values...

I thought I’d share with [anyone who is interested really] how I was growing as a developer, i.e. what I was learning every month, what thoughts and feelings I had, maybe receive some feedback from you, and, if it works, motivate somebody else...

Now I’m writing this for everyone who has, just like me, never installed SSL from Let’s Encrypt on WordPress. Few points to know before we start...

I went to my first Agile conference recently, because I really wanted to hear people’s stories on how they were transitioning from standard project management to Agile methods....

People are irrational and unpredictable. These are the facts that have been established by many researchers worldwide, including Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman...

We are humans. Because we are humans, we have feelings. In the argument nature vs. nurture, I would have to go with nature, saying that people care about themselves only and are driven by self-interest...
