I released 100 free Angular interview flashcards for Anki, covering Signals, RxJS, DI, routing, performance, SSR and more. Built for Senior Frontend Engineer interviews.

Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Vite+ 1.0 is out. One thing I find interesting: performance matters even more with coding agents. Agents can run format → lint → type-check → test → build repeatedly in one task. Faster tooling means faster agentic loops and CI/CD. Oxlint: up to 100x faster than ESLint. 000
Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I just open-sourced 100 AI & LLM Engineering interview flashcards. 🤖 RAG, embeddings, vector databases, agents, evaluation, inference, fine-tuning and more.

Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Among a redesign and a lot of other things I've changes ResumeHedgehog pricing model. Tokens caused to much friction. Monthly plans blocked feature discovery. So the new model is: 1) You can explore the whole system in action for free 2) To use it practically you only pay once for lifetime access 000
Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 24/09/2026AI can write your code. It doesn't teach you software engineering.

Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Using AI in business processes is quite nice, however you have to architect the solution properly. The diagram shows an example of a business process I've handled with deterministic and AI models cooperating. You can notice how important is to validate results during the process 000
Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Yes, it's possible to use Cursor, Claude, OpenRouter and Aider in one project. It's rare, but it happens 001

Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 12/09/2026If you had an idea, but AI would tell you not to do it. Would you do it anyways? I'm asking because we often talk about how ppl don't understand sometimes great ideas. And now AI, something advertised as AGI and super brain can trash your idea. How do you deal with it? 000

Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 09/09/2026If cloud Office costs $10 per month, you don't pay $10 a month. You pay around $10 000 dollars for the right to access and edit your files over your lifetime. This is why we're poor. Because we loose crazy amount of money on basic things. 000
Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 08/09/2026So you say you're paying $1200 for the right to use cloud Office for 10 years and it's not yours? 😈 000

Tom Smykowski @tomaszs.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I've asked AI to remove rewards for social media sharing. AI updated the sharing section and now it says: "Share us on social media. You won't get any rewards". Thank you Ai 000
