Yet another blog post about building something from scratch, I thought as I stood in my workshop, surrounded by tools and anticipation. A familiar companion from my earlier adventures crafting a Hi-Fi stereo amplifier or tweaking hardware for my Homelab. This time, it was different, I was diving into the world of gr...
Welcome, fellow tech enthusiast! If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably dreamed of having your own little corner of the digital universe—a place where wires hum, servers whir, and blinking LEDs create a symphony of possibilities. Well, my friend, you’re about to embark on an exciting adventure as we dive headfi...

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a well established practice in a software engineering community. It helps to guarantee that code is reliable and error-free by requiring developers to write tests before writing the actual code, and promotes better code design and modularity for easier maintenance and extension. Para...
Unified batch and streaming processing is a data architecture that seamlessly combines both batch and real-time data processing. It enables organizations to gain real-time insights from their data while maintaining the ability to process large volumes of historical data. In the past organizations often dealt with ba...
What’s the best way to partition time-series data in BigQuery? By time-unit column or by ingestion time? Daily or hourly? It depends, keep reading to learn trade-offs, pitfalls, and other traps.

This evening I decided to learn something about type classes. In the past I would’ve picked a book with good reviews, or read a set of articles written by functional programming masters. This time, I wanted to check if could talk with machines 😜
Today I would like to show you how to manage technical debt by updating project dependencies continuously. Surprisingly, with this technique you will get much more goodies than just updated dependencies:
I’ve managed this blog since 2011. I’m also a primary contributor to the documentation managed by my team. For example: on-boarding guide for new colleagues or a tourist, technical guides, definition of done, architecture decision records and more. As you perhaps already know, software engineers don’t like writing t...
