Ship Django project as Docker image.
Recently I needed to deploy inherited Django project. My usual approach would be to ship it as docker container. Since python is not exactly my thing, I googled how to. Unfortunately there was no simple and clean tutorial. So I wrote it (with Gunincorn and Nginx to be production ready).
Designing Data-Intensive Applications. Must read.
Designing Data-Intensive Applications, a book by Martin KIeppmann. I made a fortunate mistake when I bought this book while purchasing all the titles on my wish list. I'm not sure how it ended up in my cart, but I'm certainly glad it did! If you're developing any software, from headless front-end to complex distributed systems, this book is a must-read. It gives an insightful look into the potential pitfalls of data management, and provides practical advice on how to navigate through the challenges. If you're working on any kind of software project, this book is essential.

Engineers mission does not change.
New engineering solutions continue to grow at an exponential rate. Amazing! But what difference does this make in our daily tasks?

Take some time to consider this before writing your next block of code.
Playwright, end to end testing tool done right.
End-to-end testing is essential, especially when considering regression tests. All the platforms I've used in the past feel dated, as though I'm using Windows 95. Recently, while experimenting with Svelte, I came across Playwright. It's amazing! There's hardly any learning curve, and it's all integrated into my IDE. Give it a try - you won't regret it!
