I'm Kamil; I'm a software engineer and this is a collection of all things I've been working on in my personal time.

Life in Weeks

This entry has been inspired by Buster Benson’s Life in Weeks. The rules are very similar: each block represents a week in my life. More significant events are named and might have descriptions.

Keep a Changelog

Recently I was tasked with initialization of a new Python project. One of the requirements was to prepare a changelog. I liked the idea, but my gut feeling was that the future project contributors won’t keep the changelog always up-to-date and it’s quality will decline over time. This article proposes a feature which enforces changelog updates, when it’s required to do so.

How to: Security Keys

Today I was again setting up OpenPGP application on a new Yubikey. After over two years I already forgot how tedious that can be… I’m writing this blog post to create a clear trace of what I needed to do today and hopefully, when the time comes to set up an another key, it’ll be as easy as opening up a blog entry.
