Show Notes
Łukasz Bajsarowicz is a phenomenal developer and has become well-known for training other developers throughout Europe. What makes Lukasz’ story unique is that while he is extremely knowledgeable and very proficient at his craft, he firmly believes that money isn’t the goal, and that you can get so caught up in your pursuit of “success” that you forget about your mental health and get away from what really makes you happy. In the last couple of years, he has faced some incredible challenges, both personally and professionally, and we get a little peek into his experiences on this week’s episode of Smash the Bug.
3:52
Problems aren’t always technical, of course. Łukasz lets us into his world and shares with us a more personal challenge he has faced in his career over the past year, and reminds us of the importance of maintaining our mental health through the changes we experience.
8:18
Łukasz’ upcoming USA trip and his excitement over visiting people he hasn’t met in person or hasn’t seen in a long time.
10:32
The intense challenge of jumping into two projects as a tech lead that were at the same stage and had the same timeline, and the lessons that can be learned from such a difficult situation.
14:45
His massive project that required dealing with roughly 12 million products: how he spent about 3 months tweaking the admin dashboard / admin panel and debugged his way into a realistic solution. Hint: eversql.com
21:45
Łukasz’ bit of advice to developers regarding storefront usability and integration with the end customer.
23:00
How Łukasz is exercising his knowledge and seeking to sharpen his skills with core contributions (stay tuned for another podcast episode where Łukasz and Joseph will dive into that further). He also has been a part of CodeWars and other unique “game-style” exercises, which he strongly recommends.
28:30
Why Łukasz whole-heartedly agrees that “you learn the most by teaching others”.
