Flagarize Your Go Configuration Struct!

TL;DR In my free time I wrote a simple but powerful, open source Go library flagarize to register your flags from Go struct tags! Please try it, share feedback and read below why it was created. Flags FTW You are probably familiar with the eternal battle among all engineers on what is the best IDE: vim or emacs (of course vim 😜). In the SRE /Developer world there is a similar dispute.

Thanos Announces Weekly Mentoring Office Hours

During Summer of 2020, on top of our full-time work, on-call rotations, open source project’s work, preparing conference talks and ☕ we had extra duties: 75% of the Thanos Team (Giedrius , Lucas , Kemal , Matthias , Povilas and me) and a few members of Prometheus Team (Callum , Chris and me) were mentoring amazing people in their first steps into Open Source! 🎉 We taught mostly students but also already experienced developers, all new to the CNCF space and projects.

About me

Hi! 👋 My name is Bartek (full name is Bartłomiej). I originate from Poland, precisely from the city called Gdańsk , but nowadays, I live and work in London, UK. I am a curious and (bit too) ambitious human who happened to dive very deeply into software engineering waters. My first dev job started in 2012, and since then, I have enjoyed delivering challenging projects, together with many awesome people I met on the way.
