"Strawberry GraphQL is is the FastAPI of GraphQL libraries in Python " from a PyCon PL introduction to GraphQL talk 💪

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/

Can't help but to think about Futurama each time I pass by this booth at EuroPython 😁

My favorite part of EuroPython is starting. Lightning talks!

I'm enjoying the food for my body while listening to food for thought at Rodrigo 🐍🚀 poster session at #europython

Some things don't change at EuroPython. I know that I will always meet my old friends from Numberly (1000mercis Group) and Ultrabug. And a snake is a nice little bonus, thanks! #EuroPython2023

Things are starting to get only slightly weird at #EuroPython2023

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

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-…

I just discovered that Obsidian 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!

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.

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-…

What is git-annex, how to set it up to store large files in Google Drive or NAS, and how I use it to seamlessly manage a git repository of 20GB (and counting)? switowski.com/blog/git-annex/

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…

How I used a bunch of open-source tools to automate the management of my side project: switowski.com/blog/web-autom…

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…

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.

After almost five years, I finally updated the list of my favorite macOS apps that I'm using: switowski.com/blog/my-favori…
