Last day in SF, the great match will start in 2 hours so it would be celebration here I suppose.

  • Cloud Services Ruby gem is waiting.
  • Scala 2.8 is nearly done, RC4 was released.
  • If you are AOP fan and Ruby user, aspect4r 0.8.1 was released.
  • Google Videos – best practices.
  • It will be strange if there aren’t disappointments after WWDC, I would suggest, if you are disappointed go build great iPhone app, request new feature you need (Skype does that, Pandora does that and more) and what is important they got it.
  • Configuring CruiseControl for Ruby
  • Great articles for parents about caring about children while being online, I agree with some of “patterns” :) .

See you in Poland.

about me

My name is Sebastian Pietrowski. I've finished Warsaw University as Master degree. During my studies I started work for merlin.pl. The primary language I use is Java but I have also programmed in Python, Ruby and Scala. I worked as a technical solution architect at merlin.pl. infrastructure when we were moving from PL/SQL to J2EE. I engineering a great performance optimized solution that made the application 10 times faster than requirements and 85 times faster as original solution.

Currently, I am working as a Senior Expert at F.Hoffmann-La Roche to help define future roadmap in design and development of Enterprise software at Roche and Genentech and build adoption for new technologies. I'm continuously mentoring new developers, helping them understand how important test driven development is and empowering them to get better at their daily job. I'm involved in many activities which brings new technologies for better and faster development. You can find more details on my LinkedIn profile.

But don’t get me wrong, I am not your typical nerd. I'm a pleasant guy that you can drink a glass of wine with me and talk about a range of topics with. My leisure activities include playing basketball, soccer and listening to music. I try to be pragmatic while staying focused on application performance and tuning with success in my daily work.

My favorite quote from Yoda's and my life’s motto is: Do, or do not. There is no try.
