The Perilous Peripeties Of One Mr Perl
by Gustaw Fit
December 20, 2025
Perl is still standing strong in 2025 because it prioritizes backward compatibility and text-processing speed. While Python is the language of AI, Perl remains the “glue” of the internet. I have my own hate-or-love relationship with Perl. And if I were to choose, I’d choose c, but if I am to choose Typescript vs Perl,… Read more: The Perilous Peripeties Of One Mr Perl

by Gustaw Fit
December 11, 2025
Greetings lovely people. As an engineer who recently had the joyous task of sacrificing the quasi-elegant, iPad optimized, probably accessible, centered look of Zoopla desktop site for the sake of a wider ad container, let me explain this magnificent decision. Forget user experience, forget your carefully balanced aesthetics—we’re here to talk about charge per mille… Read more: Why We Destroyed our Beautiful Layout for an Extra 970 Pixels (And You Should Thank Us)
Optimizing React Components with memo: Why It Works (and Why We Have to Bother)
by Gustaw Fit
December 5, 2025
Look, let’s be honest. Working with React is often a joy, but sometimes (or many times?), the performance gotchas make you want to scream (and bang your head on the wall). You write “clean code”, you use your “hooks” correctly, and yet, your application feels sluggish because some overly-eager component is re-rendering every time its… Read more: Optimizing React Components with memo: Why It Works (and Why We Have to Bother)

October 18, 2025
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to human health around the world. Studies show that low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, often face the highest rates of mortality associated with bacterial resistance, despite some having lower overall antibiotic consumption rates than the very top-consuming countries in the Middle… Read more: Do antibiotics really cause superbugs?

Broken means real

Not sure what could be said first. She arrived into my life at about the time or after I have adopted out Nocka. The black cat without tail, which has shown me the immediate affection. I am not sure why I have rejected Nocka back then, but I was gifted with Atiya. Atiya means gift… Read more: Broken means real
Unexpected sounds found in everyday nature
by Gustaw Fit
September 30, 2025
The familiar tranquility of nature—rustling leaves, birdsong, the gentle lapping of water—often masks a hidden world of unexpected sounds that reveal the intricate, non-stop activity of the planet. These unusual acoustic phenomena, often outside the range of human hearing or simply overshadowed by commonplace noise, are being brought to the forefront by the emerging field… Read more: Unexpected sounds found in everyday nature
Why Grieving, Pain and Wailing Leads to happiness?
by Gustaw Fit
September 19, 2025
Dlaczego przeżywanie żałoby, bólu i lamentu prowadzi do szczęścia? Zimny wiatr przemknął po równinach, gdy młody Šišóka klęczał przed świętym ogniem. Jego pierś bolała od żalu, który był ostry jak trzymany przez niego nóż. Zrobił trzy małe nacięcia na dłoniach, tradycyjną ofiarę smutku, i pozwolił, by jego krew zmieszała się z ziemią. Drżącą ręką rozsmarował… Read more: Why Grieving, Pain and Wailing Leads to happiness?
Jam session reflections: finding inspiration in collaboration
by Gustaw Fit
September 15, 2025
What is a jam session? Is it a hard training for your band, where the glorious leader steps up to tell people what to do and where they made a mistake? Maybe. No for me. With “Umowa” it is first and foremost a gathering of friends. I make the salad. The collaborative and non-hierarchical nature… Read more: Jam session reflections: finding inspiration in collaboration
