Which country would win in the Programming Olympics?
Poland ranks #3 on average, globally!
#1 in Java, #2 in Python, #2 in algorithms.

Software development is changing so fast these days. It's crazy.
I think this is already pretty big for freelancers, hackers, solopreneurs, products managers etc.
But organizations still need to figure out how to approach this kind of thing. Our product-related folks try to use it to build demos and validate ideas, but most devs remain unconvinced.

@GayBearRes Hiring in India might be great, but it is a very different culture that introduces many new challenges.
Why not hire in Poland instead? We're basically "western" and our developers are some of the best in the world :)

@TheJackForge maybe we can get back master branch and blacklist as well

I'll be doing a podcast at the end of the month with @ThePrimeagen all about programming. He is a great programmer and hilarious human being 🔥
In general, I have a bunch of super-technical podcasts coming up on programming… probably with @dhh (creator of rails), @taylorotwell (creator of laravel), @rough__sea (creator of node & deno), @rauchg (creator of next.js), @ashtom (ceo of github) and many more (sorry if I forgot people, going off the top of my head).
This post is primarily about software, but in general, my goal is to celebrate great engineering and great engineers from all walks of life 🚀🔥
Oh and if anyone knows how to get in touch with Linus Torvalds, let me know. Obviously, I would love to talk to him. See my profile for the link to contact me.
As part of all this, here are the languages & frameworks I'm trying (for each, building something simple but sufficiently complicated to test its cool features):
- rust
- go
- zig
- elixir
- next.js & vercel
- laravel
- rails
- mojo
- deno
- jai
- odin
Also, I have to force myself to try neovim at some point 😭🤣
For context, I'm a python & c/c++ guy, plus php, js, sql (of all flavors) for webdev. I tend to favor focusing on building fast (and fun) vs the language/tool choice, but there is still a lot to learn from each of these technologies.
Outside of the podcast, one of my goals for 2025 is to ship some code (system, service, app) that will bring value to some number of people's lives (whether I do this solo or as part of a team). This makes me happy. I love talking to people and I love programming. I've been doing a lot of the former, and this year I hope to add to that a bit of the latter too ;-)
If you have questions or suggestions, for languages or for technical guests, please let me know.

Last year, a friend was planning a trip to an amusement park for her bday. Site design is often a good heuristic for security and the design wasn't inspiring confidence—so I went poking.
A fun story of finding a payment bypass in PayU India and the subsequent disclosure arc:

In the coming day or two, I'll be sharing the full details on how it was possible to bypass PayU India's hosted checkout flow and get free stuff from any merchant bonus: failed managed disclosure programs, my credit card being abused, and @IndianCERT being awesome!

@MrBeast hit me up if you do, so we might make it actually digestible together

@tsoding wait, but why would you even stop enjoying programming in the first place?
