React React React. After completing 2nd React tech test in matter of 2 weeks I am all about growing my skills there. Even though I’m not sure any of these test will get me a job. I got some thoughts to share about what tech test says about the kind of a candidate they’re looking for. And for the finale I have my first impressions from reading Software Craftsman by Sandro Mancuso. Tune in & enjoy!

The struggle is real - let no one tell you otherwise. All the talk about strength and resilience is what you supposed to do in face of difficulties and there plenty of those. But then we take moments to celebrate good times and commemorate those who inspire us.

Kids don’t do it at home - learn from my mistakes. Don’t switch to an IDE you’ve never used before when you’re on the clock. And to also find out what Gettysburg address has to do with a good meetup - tune in & enjoy! Thanks

I’ve been busy with a React tech test and after few days I’m ready to share my dark secret. Also I had first encounter of the 3rd kind with… AI or more precisely with ML.NET, a machine learning module. So so cool. Really can’t wait for you to hear all about it. So tune in and enjoy!

I got a chance to join NSManchester for another meetup, all about server-side Swift. Then I discover typescript which always brings to memory words of Bob Gregory of Cazoo I heard on Codurance podcast https://codurance.com/podcasts/2019-12-02-serverless/ And at the end I am really trying my best not to name-shame one company. You want to know why and whether I succeeded? Tune in and enjoy!

This week it’s a real sprint through all lil’ things that happened in my week and job hunt update. I need some of your JavaScript expertise and also there is a call to action at the end. Enjoy!

While my passion for TDD is being fueled I am looking forward to other upcoming meetups about BFF patterns and about ML. Oh and check out how I was mistaken for mid-level developer. Tune in and enjoy!

2020. Game time! … but just just before we get in the game let me give myself a pep talk and take a chance to recognize all the kindness I was privileged to be recipient of since I joined the tech industry. And now game time for realz!!!

I got a feedback from my last tech test. Instead of (just) complaining I decided to analyze it and see how I can grow from it. Then I signed up for another meetup group and I heard a great podcast from Codurance https://codurance.com/podcasts/2019-12-02-serverless/ but only listen to it after you finished listening to mine. Enjoy!

In the midst of my job hunt, I take a refuge in a meetup all about Kubernetes. I had some beer, met some great devs and fought my personal battle with port 3306. Good stuff - check it out!
