Strange, I survived

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

This day is the most nervous day in my life. First mavenization started, after commit we realized that where are some web-guys. which have problems to run tomcat and other stuff, so we want rollback and than SVN refuse to cooperate with us.

I fight with time seeking another solutions. As it was not enough, our product manager arrived. And this day my presentation starts at 6 pm. Nightmare!!!.

Suddenly I looked outside the window, and to my surprise the sun goes out of the clouds. Michal comes back, and said that we don’t rollback. So I think to myself maybe this day is not so bad.

My Ruby on Rails presentation on wjug meeting close ruby and java worlds, I hope so. Maybe one day we stand together on the ‘right’ side, we’ll see. And maybe we make our conference.

Next post mavenization is nearly ready, today I’m to tired to post it.

Mavenization Holded

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

Eh, life isn’t fair. Two minutes before final commit mavenization was canceled, so I must put on hold my mavenization post. Next time Gadget next time.

On the other hand I prepare for wjug presentation on Tuesday; it’s about ruby on rails. I’m afraid a little because java vs. ruby evangelism. In my opinion java programmer can teach so much from ruby ones, and maybe in java 7 or 8 we see some ruby like syntax.

I will talk about Ruby, Rails and of course new template engine HAML, it’s beautiful, and I think another posts counting keystroke are coming.

See you.

about me

My name is Sebastian Pietrowski. I've finished Warsaw University as Master degree. I started my journey with Java 1.1 with Thread and JDBC programing in 1998 as I worked for merlin.pl. In 1999 I've passed Java Programer Certificate for Java 1.2, and was solution architect of merlin.pl infrastructure when we was moving from pl/sql to J2EE. It was great performance optimization with 10 times more req/sec than in requirements and 85 times faster as original solution.

Currently I work as Expert Software Development Java at F.Hoffmann-La Roche. The company was founded in 1896 and today, Roche employs over 80.000 people. After work I'm involved in activities related to Scala/Lift, Ruby/Rails/Merb, Python/Django. This is because I try to be pragmatic also I'm focused on application performance and tuning with success in my daily work.

My Yoda's motto: Do, or do not. There is no try.
