Once upon a time, I had a meeting and we intended to discuss a particular document during this meeting. Of course, the other participants expected me to be prepared by reading this document. The content of this document was so fascinating that I waiting until the very last moment to read it and finally I realized that I didn’t have any time to read it. In case you haven’t realized, that last sentence was a bit of sarcasm.…
Read more »Are you writing code in Go (Golang)? And do you sometimes need to create a self-signed test certificate? I have, and that’s why I am writing this post to remind myself (and you) how to do this. I’ll be happy if someone else will also benefit from this information. Do this to create a self-signed test certificate: On Linux: go run $GOROOT/src/crypto/tls/generate_cert.go –rsa-bits 1024 –host 127.0.0.1,::1,localhost –ca –start-date "Jan 1 00:00:00 1970" –duration=1000000h On Windows: go run %GOROOT%/src/crypto/tls/generate_cert.go –rsa-bits 1024 –host 127.0.0.1,::1,localhost –ca –start-date "Jan 1 00:00:00 1970" –duration=1000000h After executing this command you get the files cert.pem and key.pem.…
Read more »Sometimes you write a piece of code or feature, or even a whole application by yourself. In some cases, no one else knows what you’ve written. Sometimes you are glad for this freedom. Freedom is the right word because you’re glad to have your code the way you want it: everything in its place and in proper working order. I say proper working order instead of perfect for a reason. Inevitably, one day you’ll return to this piece of code or application and wonder: “who the hell wrote this code?” And of course, git is laughing at you and saying “you, bloody bastard”.…

If you miss this opportunity, you’ll never experience a more perfect conference in Poland. This year, one of my favourite idols, Steve Sanderson will be presenting. I proposed him after last year’s conference and big kudos to the planning team for fulfilling my wish.…
Read more »This story began this year during the summer. I bought myself a guitar in order to remind myself of a few guitar riffs. After a several weeks of looking at this guitar, I finally started to play it. I always wanted to learn a couple of Brian Setzer’s riffs, so I typed Brian Setzer riffs in the YouTube search bar and I found what I was looking for. But these guys played so fast that I couldn’t keep up with them.…
Read more »On June 24th, 2015, I was returning home from the Devvox PL conference in Cracow. During this journey, Arkadiusz Benedykt and I were discussing how nice it would be to organize a conference in our city, Bielsko-Biala. Then, at the beginning of June 2016 my company was thinking about organizing a small meetup for students from our area. It was then that Arek and I remembered our discussion and we suggested combining our idea with the company’s idea.…
Read more »The Quality Excites conference organized by the passionate team recently had its 5th edition. For me, this conference was exceptional because there were a lot of workshops and lectures, many of which were dedicated to testing. The speakers practice what they preach and everything related to the conference was high quality, as this is what excites the organizers and the invitees. That is why Quality Excites remains one of my most anticipated yearly events, and every year since 2014, I’ve had the simultaneous fear and thrill of securing tickets.…
Read more »The conference beast living inside of me has awoken again but this time it was very hungry and I ended up having to feed it for 4 days. I spent the first 3 days at the Devoxx Poland conference which ran from June 22nd to 25th. It is one of the biggest conferences in Poland and this was the second staging. There were 2500 participants and 100 speakers at this edition, and among the speakers, was one of my work mates Arkadiusz Benedykt.…
Read more »In one of my previous posts, I wrote about Angular CLI. With this tool, you can simplify your work when dealing with Angular2 projects. This tool can create a template of a new Angular2 application where everything is set up and works perfectly. However, what if you want to have a build process of your application that is a bit different from what Angular CLI offers or you want to use this tool in an existing project which already has its own structure and build process?…
Read more »The Daj się poznać contest has come to an end. Now it’s time to sum up what I did, what I didn’t do and what I learnt during this period of time. First of all, I want to thank Maciej Aniserowicz for organizing this contest. Initiatives like this do a lot for the Polish programming community as a whole, but even more for the individual programmers who participated in the contest, and even those on the sidelines who merely observed.…
