The slides for EDA Day Warsaw 2024 and my talk are ready, but it's super hard and sad to me that I won't be able to be there with you at EDA Day Warsaw 2024. It's one of those moments where I must put aside my dreams, goals, and ambitions and be with my family. There is also good news for the community, as I have a fantastic replacement! Eric Johnson is coming to the stage, and that's great news for the community! :) If you know Eric, then you know that this means a lot of laughs, interesting topics, and a fantastic atmosphere. He is a top-class speaker! If you are interested in my presentation - I will record it or present it online. Hopefully, it will be presented online during the #believeinserverless event meeting because I would love to discuss the content presented with the community. I feel that it's a huge missed opportunity to discuss it in real life with so many brilliant EDA experts in Warsaw, but hey - that's life. In case you really can be there but haven't planned to (yet), check that incredible lineup: https://lnkd.in/dH6fGYr6 and think about it again! :) There are few opportunities to meet all those fantastic speakers in real life in one place in Poland: Anahit Pogosova Alex DeBrie David Anderson 🚀 🚀 David Boyne Emily Shea Eric Johnson Filip Pýrek 🍬 Gillian Armstrong James Eastham Joshua Kahn Michael Gasch Natasha Wright Oskar Dudycz Vadym Kazulkin Don't forget to use the promo code 'm&s10' for a 10% discount on your ticket. This is a great opportunity to save on your registration, so make sure to take advantage of it! PS Did you know that, as a student, you can attend the event for free?

Next AWS User Group Wrocław meetup in a week (24.04.2024). 📅 24.04.2024 ⌚ 18:00 📍 Wędrówki Pub: https://lnkd.in/eeYukrXZ First of all, thank you ALGOTEQUE Innovation Hub for sponsoring our event! :) 🎤 Speakers: 🔭 Marcin Sodkiewicz (me) I am going to talk about #opentelemetry in my talk titled "Observability on AWS & OpenTelemetry". It's talk on the 300 level, but don't worry, I am going to cover all areas, and even if you are new to a whole concept I think you should understand everything. This is also a great opportunity to discuss your experiences with #opentelemetry. 📟 Grzegorz Kalwig: "Serverless is above limits? Our Path to production database cluster" If you don't know about it - Grzegorz is on a road tour with that talk as I believe I saw that he presented that material in many User Groups already. It means that his material is polished and he should be able to answer all your questions about Aurora Serverless v2. Super interesting and important topic, so stop by and make notes :) We are still part of JetBrains Community Support program. So we are going to give away some coupons for free access to IDE of your choice for a whole year.

Some software development practices can be applied also elsewhere. For example testing of bad cases - you try to break the software by providing invalid input. From time to time I am doing same for processes where I have some doubts about purpose or where the guidance is bad. So for example if someone wants from me to fill in some form, I simply fill it wrongly and submit.

If you are curious on "Evolutionary Architecture" don't miss our .NET User Group Zürich May Meetup where we will cover the topic providing some lessons that diverge from "pure tech" talks. On this one, Maciej Jedrzejewski will explain How incremental developments in core engineering have enabled the foundations for enable software which can evolve over time along the architecture, protecting important architectural characteristics as it evolves. All while keeping it as simple as possible, maintainable and manageable in amount of complexity. Sounds interesting? ;) It is!! And even more if you have 5+ years of experience, chances are that you have lived a project that died because of complexity and lack of proper architectural vision (partial or... complete) - I've been there! So, how does it sound and all of this - for free!! Thanks Digitec Galaxus AG and Maciej Jedrzejewski!!! I am not going to miss it - and so should you... RSVP while you can, places are limited: https://lnkd.in/dmnnEGUZ Ah, we will have Food & Drink #architecture #software #evolutionaryarchitecture #KISS #DRY #easy #maintainable #resilience

Quick engineering salary comparison based on the #DEVBG stats from 2023 and 2024 in the Bulgarian IT industry. Dev.bg publish yearly a summary of the Bulgarian IT engineering salaries based on the job openings offers on their platform. https://lnkd.in/dNU5MD8D (2023 stats) https://lnkd.in/dX_dxvP7 (2024 stats) Based on the population data (let's assume it's a proper representation of the real world) we can determine the following: 1. PHP should be dead but it isn't (unfortunately) as it's one of the two categories with growing salaries in all job positions and ranges. 2. The second is the full stack development with a minimum drop of 65 levas in the first MID range(2-5 years) 3. All ranges except the Senior level(5+ years of experience) have a drop in salary compared to 2023 but for some seem negligible compared to the notion in the industry that "it's going down and AI will take over the world" :) 4. We can see that seniority still counts and there is now a shift towards growth of salaries of more senior people compared to others as the market tries to regulate. 5. There is still a lot of green for a "dying" and "shrinking" industry. P.S To anyone interested I can share the excel if needed but it's quite straightforward to generate it. *Legend: Diff min Mid - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Mid - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen Median - difference in the minimum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen Median - difference in the maximum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024

So much for the basement-dwelling programmer stereotype 😉. Conferences like the International PHP Conference are splendid opportunities to gain new perspectives - and face new challenges. 🛠️ Programming is essentially about solving problems, and events just like this conference allow us to share experiences and learn from best of the best in the industry. During sessions and workshops, I got to hear real stories about real problems - how they arise, how to solve them - and how to prevent them from reoccurring. 😉 I had the pleasure of attending talks on the latest trends in PHP, code optimization and best practices in system architecture. I learned how to avoid common mistakes and what techniques to use to make our applications even more efficient and secure. 🖥️🔐 Meeting other specialists - once again - proved that exchanging insights is the key to growth. I'm glad I could be part of this inspiring community! 🤝✨ Thank you to all the speakers and participants for the incredible knowledge and motivation! 🙏📚 Topics covered: - PHP Core & Optimization [Bohuslav Šimek, Carsten Windler] - Refactoring [Ralf Eggert] - Testing, Test Driven Development, and Logging [Florian Engelhardt] - Software Architecture & Design Driven Development [Katy Ereira, Dr. Sönke J. Magnussen] - Security 🔒 - DevOps & Deployment [Nic Wortel] - Clean Code [Ondřej Mirtes] - Git Advanced & Working with abandoned Open Source Projects [Juliette Reinders Folmer]

Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak at the Test Automation Days about how we as people who work in software development can implement more sustainable practices in our daily work. Let me share one of the (adapted) quiz questions from my presentation: what is the most environmentally friendly programming language would you say, and why? Answer without Googling 😉.

On May 8th, we have WarsawJS Meetup #114 awaiting us, featuring Tomasz Ducin on stage with a fascinating presentation titled "Back in the game: Recent Revolutionary Changes in Angular"! But today, let's reminisce about his previous appearance at WarsawJS Meetup #108 💭 In that lecture, titled "Who needs Server Components?", Tomasz delved into the next step in the evolution of web architecture. After MPAs, SPAs, SSR, SSG/ISG, it's time for Server Components! Throughout the presentation, he asked himself many questions: Does this architecture fit the needs of my business and application? What are the benefits? And are we not stepping backward by moving more operations back to the server? Breaking down the hype around Server Components, Tomasz also introduced us to some technical details regarding React Server Components. By combining client-side interactivity with server-side efficiency, we can optimize web metrics and revolutionize website development. We invite you to watch that presentation, which opened our minds to a new perspective on web development! Enjoy watching! 🍿 🎥 Part 1: https://lnkd.in/dQ7G_jFZ  🎥 Part 2: https://lnkd.in/dJzQmsQD We encourage you to participate in WarsawJS Meetup #114, where you'll have the opportunity to not only listen to Tomasz's lecture but also to other outstanding speakers live.
