Autobusy: a native iOS app that knows which way your bus is actually going
A follow-up to the Scriptable bus widget: GPS → nearest stop → live departures for every line — plus a fix for the classic “bus is 300 m away but driving in the opposite direction” problem. I built a Scriptable widget that shows the next departure of bus 221 from my stop. It worked —…

Why Vibe Coding Still Needs an Architect
AI will happily design your system — on whatever stack it has seen in your previous projects. Whether that stack is the right one is a different question, and answering it is still a human’s job. The project The application is a small e-commerce-adjacent service for ordering personalized audio wishes recorded in the voices of…

Devin session monitor
See at a glance which of your Devin agent sessions are working, and which are waiting for you — from a macOS menu bar app, a terminal dashboard, or a SwiftBar plugin. The problem When you run several Devin sessions at once (in Devin Desktop or the CLI), there’s no easy way to tell which…

I Wired WordPress to Auto-Tag Posts with AI: A Make.com + GPT-5-mini Pipeline
I recently ran a bulk-classification pass over this blog — 65 posts tagged and categorized by an AI model with a controlled vocabulary. That fixed the archive, but it created a new chore: every future post would need manual tagging, or a re-run of the batch script. So I wired up a small pipeline that…

Automating Archived Webinar Downloads: Reverse-Engineering a Portal’s Hidden API
We needed to pull years of archived webinar recordings out of an enterprise webinar platform and drop them into cloud storage. It sounds like a simple “download all” job. It wasn’t — and the reasons why make for a nice tour through session capture, CSRF tokens, on-demand file generation, and a live progress dashboard. 1.…

Too Many School Messages? I Built a Local AI Triage for Librus in One Hour
A macOS agent that polls my kids’ school inbox every hour, classifies each message with a Polish decision model running on my own GPU, and only disturbs me when something actually needs a parent. The problem: notification fatigue, Polish-edition Librus Synergia is the dominant electronic gradebook in Polish schools — grades, attendance, homework, and an…

AI migrated my EC2 and 11-year-old Redmine to the newest version while I took a shower
My Redmine was old. Not “a bit behind” old — Redmine 3.3.2, installed in 2017, running on Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03, an operating system that reached End of Life at the end of 2023. The EC2 instance itself was launched in 2015. Every SSH login greeted me with a nice ASCII-art banner warning that the…

How I Protected Downloadable Audiobook MP3s with AI Watermarking
The Problem: Not Everyone Streams My daughter and I create a Polish children’s audiobook series — Zwierzęta Detektywi (Animal Detectives). We publish episodes on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and that works great for most families. Then one of our customers asked: “Can I get the MP3 files? My kid uses an old MP3 player —…

How to Track QR Campaigns Before Cookie Consent with Cloudflare Workers and GA4 Measurement Protocol
One of the most challenging problems in web analytics today is measuring campaign traffic before a visitor accepts cookies. In an opt-in setup with tools like OneTrust or CookieYes, Google Tag Manager and GA4 often cannot record campaign events until consent is granted, which creates a blind spot exactly where marketers most want visibility. Why…

AI Has Grown Up. Now Stop Measuring It Wrong.
A follow-up to The Golden Hammer Syndrome — six months later, AI is delivering real ROI. The problem is we’re still asking the wrong questions. In January I wrote about using LLMs to check if a number is even. People laughed — and then sent me screenshots of their own codebases doing the same thing.…

This is how it all started…
When I was a child, I watched a movie “Capital City” with a scene where an IT specialist worked remotely on his laptop, tackling a technical issue. That scene sparked my desire to work in that way.
From Atari to PCs, dial-up (PPP), ASP, and beyond, there was a lot of learning and studying. I worked while I studied, explored new programming languages and areas of technology, eventually leading a team. Startups, remote work, and even AI – it’s been a journey!
Continuously learning, curiosity, and a balanced life are the keys to success in this field.
