I love to read how great speakers prepare their talks. There is always something new to learn from them - from Rodrigo I learned that I should finally try to record myself and see how I sound when practicing.

Fancy new build tools come and go, but I think I will stick with using makefiles to orchestrate everyday tasks in my projects. I just like makefiles. switowski.com/blog/i-like-ma…

In 2020, I built my first side project. I scratched my own itch, then started selling it, and since then, the project has earned me over $15,000. But a few months after releasing it, I was so tired of the maintenance that I wanted to shut it down. switowski.com/blog/i-have-bu…

I've Built My First Successful Side Project, and I Hate It

How I learned the old truth that when building a software product and selling it to people, "building" is just the beginning. And often, it's the easiest part.

When someone starts a conversation with "Hi," I usually send them a link to nohello.net/. It's a great way to start, but sometimes people will invite me for a "quick call" or a "surprise meeting," and those are equally bad: switowski.com/blog/no-hello-…

In my latest article, switowski.com/blog/how-to-en…, I write about my experience with Python conferences from a participant's perspective. I explain why socializing with others is crucial to having a great time and what you can do if you're not good at starting conversations.

How to Enjoy Your Next Conference Better

Or "how to win friends (without influencing people) at a conference".

I just discovered that @obsdmd lets you set "Show context menu under cursor" shortcut to display the context menu without touching the mouse. I'm using it for fixing the spelling mistakes and this has changed my life - I wrote a full article without touching the mouse!

Are you considering starting a blog but not sure if it's worth the effort? Or maybe you've already started one, and you're questioning whether it's truly worth your time and energy. I wrote a summary of my 5-year-long, on-and-off experience with blogging: switowski.com/blog/should-i-…

Should I Have a Blog?

Is starting a blog in times of withering attention span still worth it?

Will inlining a Python function make your code faster? Probably yes. Should you do it? Probably no. switowski.com/blog/inlining-…

Inlining Functions

Running one big blob of code is often faster than splitting your code into well-separated functions. But there are other ways you can improve the speed of your code without sacrificing its readabil...

In my latest article from the Writing Faster Python series, I've run a series of benchmarks for different tasks to see how much faster (or slower) it is to use pathlib instead of other functions. switowski.com/blog/pathlib/

Pathlib for Path Manipulations

pathlib is an interesting, object-oriented take on the filesystem paths. With plenty of functions to create, delete, move, rename, read, write, find, or split files, pathlib is an excellent replace...
