How I Optimized a Heavy Image Gallery to 99/100 in Lighthouse with AI
After a few years of neglecting it, I finally decided to spend a moment refreshing my personal website. I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to not only learn something new but also to test how AI tools—under proper supervision—can handle a very typical, yet notoriously tricky web development problem: heavy image optimization. My…

I Built a Browser Game in 2 Hours on a Free Weekend – No Coding
Last weekend I had some free time and a wild idea: what if I built a fully playable browser game from scratch — design, code, assets, and deployment — in a single afternoon? No team. No budget. Just a concept, a few AI tools, and roughly two hours. The result is Steki Kuby — an…

From Concept to AI Autoresponder in 60 Minutes
It all started with a casual question from a friend. Google had just released its new Google Workspace CLI, offering programmatic access to every product in the suite -including Gmail. The question was: “What if we wrote a program that checks new emails and replies to them using a style learned from your previous messages?”…

Always On Time: Creating a Custom iOS Bus Widget with Scriptable
Introduction When you commute every day from the same bus stop, checking departure times quickly becomes a routine annoyance. Instead of calmly walking out of the house, you end up opening an app, waiting for it to load, tapping through a few screens, and only then seeing when the next bus leaves. This costs precious…

Building a Real LEGO Sales App with AI: Why Project Decomposition Matters More Than Prompt Magic
AI tools can generate code quickly, but shipping a working app still depends on one old-school engineering skill: breaking the project into clear parts, defining system boundaries, and configuring each layer correctly. The Principle I Keep Relearning When people talk about building with AI assistants like Codex, the conversation often focuses on prompts. In practice,…

Vibe‑Coding a Real App with AI in 3 Hours: What the Free Tools Don’t Tell You
It started with a tweet. A Polish traffic‑safety journalist (https://x.com/_zboral) wrote that if someone in IT really wanted to, they could topple the local driving‑school industry in a week by launching a free website with driving‑test questions. The data is public, he said, and linked to the government portal hosting the official question set. Someone…

Automatic Company Data Retrieval by Tax ID – Integration with Polish Registries
Filling out order forms is one of the most frustrating aspects of online shopping. Customers must manually enter company details: name, address, postal code, city. If there’s an error – the invoice may be incorrect. Can this be simplified? It turns out, yes. Polish public registries provide APIs that allow automatic retrieval of company data…

The Golden Hammer Syndrome: Why We Need Less AI and More Engineering
Stop burning GPU cycles to check if a number is even. A guide to regaining our technical sanity. It is an old adage in the toolbox of life: “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” In 2026, that hammer is the Large Language Model (LLM), and we are currently smashing…

Don’t Teach AI – First Teach People to Ask Questions and Verify Answers
The conversation around AI enablement often focuses on training models, fine-tuning prompts, improving usage metrics and optimizing workflows. But here’s an uncomfortable truth: if your organization struggles with innovation today, AI won’t magically fix that tomorrow. The real barrier to AI adoption isn’t technical—it’s cultural. And it starts with something surprisingly basic: the ability to…

Saving Time with AI: Your Personal Calendar Assistant
The Problem: Calendar Management Chaos Life is unpredictable. If you’re a parent, you know the struggle: your child’s school schedule changes, extracurricular classes get added, gym routines shift. If you’re a student, professors send updated timetables mid-semester. Suddenly, you need to update not just your calendar, but also inform family members and sync everything across…

Measuring AI Adoption: Why Acceptance Rate Works – But Only at the Start
A few months ago, I noticed acceptance rate showing up everywhere in AI adoption metrics. Managers wanted to see it jump from 20% to 50%. Development teams got measured by it. Charts appeared in all-hands presentations. But the more I looked into it, the more something felt off. After talking to industry researchers and teams…

I turned 56 kids’ tales into a living Notion knowledge base – and it drew me a map of the Land of Animal Detectives
Most tools store text. Notion stores text you can reason with. After importing my kids’ detective tales, I got five capabilities that changed my workflow. Suddenly, the stories stopped being static text and became an interactive world model. Instead of scrolling through chapters, I could interrogate the universe I had created — like talking to…

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.
