A programmer who surprisingly became CTO of a med-tech startup. A bridge between technical people and “business point of view”.

Windows 11 is released and it is a huge mile step in Microsoft world... But it is relatively quiet in tech-web about it... I mean every new macOS is much more famous... MS can't into marketing so much!

Programming is not an art. Programmers are not artists.

Programmers love to make too small estimates for tasks and overrate the complexity of the whole project at the same time.

Unpopular opinion: programming is not art. Quality matters, but finished is better than perfect.

Did you know about the sad story of the CSS color "rebeccapurple"?

It's a commemoration to the daughter of Eric Meyer (CSS standards pioneer) who died at the age of 6 due to brain cancer 😢

Her favorite color was purple 💜

Fun fact: today we celebrate Mother's Day in Poland.

Every other country in the World has a different date for that Day 🙅‍♂️

My discovery of the year: Prime.
Really nice UI components library - better alternative for Bootstrap.

Available for Angular, React, and Vue. Works and looks great!

During work on a medical R&D project, my company faced many challenges. Creating innovative things isn't an easy job. Technical issues, medical concerns, and many more.
But the most crucial part was to build proper communication culture between specialists from different fields.

Another Sunday lesson:
When your target is Android 11 (SDK 30) your app won't be able to open a web browser (eg. web links won't work).
From Android 11 you have to declare in your manifest you want to open another apps (like browsers)

Learned today:
To test your #Flutter app in the Release Mode on the Android emulator make sure you installed the x86_64 AVD. For some reason release mode doesn't work on "normal" x86 emulators.

I've spent 30 minutes to found out about it. Don't be me.

@ticathia Greetings from Saturday evening 😀

Funny thing:
I've just finished rewriting my mobile app from Java (native) to Dart (#Flutter). Features and UI didn't change, the only change is a codebase. I measured code lines::
▶️Native: 4915 lines
▶️Flutter: 2633 lines

@DThompsonDev Yes, you're absolutely right. I had some interviews with "senior developers" that didn't know whats the difference between interface and abstract class in TypeScript 🙈
