In 20 minutes I will talk about Business4s at Func Prog Sweden online Meetup! www.youtube.com/live/rFa4Jhg...

I'm looking into Zulip and it seems much more serious and better suited for collaboration than Discord. Why isn't it more popular among OSS communities?

Published first batch of reviews from 2026. Mostly fiction, but good ones! medium.com/@w.pitula/ba...

New Claude usage Hit compiler bug > ask to minimize > ask to search GitHub for related issue. It found one and a workaround.

New day, new article. I've been going full-throttle on agentic software development for the last 2 months and summed up my thoughts. medium.com/@w.pitula/tw...

I’ve finally summed up my 2025 reading. Enjoy! medium.com/vp-of-books/...

Just got my ticket to @scalar-conf.com. Not speaking this time, but the lineup was too good to miss it.

Check out the new Forms4s library by @krever01.bsky.social. It ships with Tyrian 👾 support out of the box, but because it's composable, you aren't locked into a specific UI framework. medium.com/business4s-b...

The Sovereign Tech Fund Invests in Scala: 🔐 security audits 🔧 sbt 2.0 📚 core library maintenance 💪 and long-term resilience for critical digital infrastructure Check out the announcement: www.scala-lang.org/b... 🙏 Huge thanks to @sovereign.tech

New library in Business4s ecosystem! And my semi-rant on scala.js usability. medium.com/business4s-b...

Decisions4s just got support for persistence. I'm still not convinced its a good way to handle business logic, but many people asked if thats possible. Now it is. business4s.org/decisions4s/...

Wild observation: feedback is now more valuable for OSS projects than contributions. I can steer Claude at least just as effectively as avg contributor but I can get real world usage report out of it.

Not bad

Current status: optimized an operational job from 33 hours to 22 minutes :)

Check out what we’ve been up to over the past 6 months 🙂 medium.com/business4s-b...

I posted the last batch of my books reviews from 2025. Double sized (20 positions) because I was lazy. One great book about investment, and a lot of other good ones. medium.com/vp-of-books/...

Some notes from a recent Scala 3 migration I did.

New Workflows4s DevLog is out! youtu.be/xK1vmQhKrAM

Hey @kitlangton.bsky.social does neotype require runtime dependency? @baldram.github.io pointed me to it, and I see it doesn't allocate, but I'm curious if it requires any symbols at runtime at all. I'm asking because if not I could safely use it in my libs without binary compatibility issues.

I am excited, to say the least. medium.com/business4s-b...

🎉Workflows4s is finally out! A Scala library designed for simpler, type-safe, and lightweight workflows. medium.com/business4s-b...

The next episode of Workflows4s DevLog is out, enjoy! youtu.be/KRg42PJW1sA

Workflows4s in one picture

I finally posted what should have been posted two months ago. Anyway, I promise to get back on track with my reading. medium.com/vp-of-books/...

Look at me, I'm a YouTuber now. youtu.be/aDooTCNwU2g?...

A bit overdue but finally there. My feelings about Rust. medium.com/@w.pitula/ru...

🚀 Introducing Scala Highlights – a new quarterly newsletter! Read it now 👉 scala-lang.org/highlights/2...

Chimney 1.7.0 with: - transformation from more than 1 value - recursive Patchers - and much more! Easily one of top 3 Chimney releases (next to 0.8.0 - with Scala 3 support - and 1.0.0 - with stable API) github.com/scalalandio/...

What's the most creative solution you have implemented in your career (or recently)? (Shameless gathering of talk material)

Nothing to see here, definitely not a great opportunity for Scala devs. www.reddit.com/r/scala/comm...

📚 Just published my 2024 reading summary: 120 books, 1800 hours, and a lot of insights. You will find the top 18 books at the very top of the article. medium.com/vp-of-books/...

People really don't want to listen about documentation 😅🤷

📚 New Batch of Book Reviews! This month’s highlights include leadership insights, masculinity, network science, grimdark worlds, and more. medium.com/vp-of-books/... Non-Fiction: - The First 90 Days: 4/4 - Linked: 3+/4 - Billy No-Mates: 3+/4 - Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: 3/4

Playing with alternative rendering fro workflows4s. What's your preference?

I published the penultimate (I learned a new word!) batch of my book reviews for this year. A lot of excellent positions! medium.com/vp-of-books/...

One of the main design principles of workflows4s is a downward scalability - ability to trim setup complexity based on needs. Currently, it's getting a revamped approach to waking up workflows (e.g. "wait 3 days" or "interrupt if nothing happens for 24h"). It will ...

18 days into learning Rust. It's not a bad language, but I definitely don't want to solve problems requiring it.

I really like where sbt is going. Performance optimisations, simplification and collaboration from Scala Center! Kudos @eed3si9n.com eed3si9n.com/sbt-2.0.0-M3

I wrote a followup on the recent topic of Scala tolling and stability :) Hopefully not that hot of a take. medium.com/@w.pitula/on...

Hey, my talk from #ScalaIO is available! :) Check how to model business logic in a more manageable way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uROj...

Scala doesn't need tooling. This got solved few times over. Scala doesn't need stability. This got solved with Scala 3. It's not perfect but we have a decent balance between stability and innovation. What scala needs is good press.

I described our hiring process a bit. Yes, it's 7-steps long, but I believe there is some point to it. medium.com/swissborg-en...

Workflows4s is getting Postgres runtime, refactor of the runtime interface and overhaul of docs :)

7 days into #AdventOfCode in Rust and the main lesson is: don't fight with the borrow checker. Just clone the shit out of it.

- Two big topics at work, few smaller ones - Advent of code - Workflows4s development - Business4s mentorships - Wife started working full time - Considering learning chess - Christmas preparations Hmm, I probably shouldn't try to fit more into my brain at the moment.

Today was the day my whole career & education was preparing me for. I implemented a sorting algorithm. #AdventOfCode

Finally all my setup is connected with a single cable. What a relief. Btw. should I get a 3rd ext display? It would be 4th in total, and I would have to put all of them vertical. Anyone works like that?

Day4 was fun, used enums for the first time. From tomorrow I will start counting how many times I had to fight with the borrow checker. #AdventOfCode #Rust
