Szymon Chudy

Hey there, nice to meet you! ✌️ I'm Szymon – a software engineer who approaches problems with a product lens. I share somewhat opinionated notes on code, productivity, and life at chudy.me. Outside work, I'm a dad and husband who loves getting outdoors – tennis, hiking, and running keep me sane.

What a great day to #run! Finally, I'm below 6 minutes for 5km again, and my wife has joined me in her very first race. Yay! Fun fact, the winner has finished below 15 minutes. That's less than 3 minutes per kilometer. How crazy is that?!

So much needed. Just got back from Berlin, and week from now I'll be weighing my luggage to see if it won't be rejected. 😁 Here we come, NYC 🗽

Pwn day is a meme gift that keeps on memeing

Product plus engineering is the new full stack. I recently read this somewhere online, and it really resonated with me. What are your thoughts?

I’ve just learned that 200 people are coming to the event we’re speaking at today, and there are (wait for it)… 700 names on the waiting list. How cool is that! 😎 My friend used to say “that’s so semi-professional”. I guess it doesn’t apply here 🙈

Funny thing. My new running shoes ordered from Zalando just arrived at home, and I’m about to give a tech talk at their office. Should’ve asked about personal pickup 😅

First time on an international train. Herzlich willkommen Berlin 😁

The best part of being a jogger is that when you actually have to run (because you’re late or sth)… you can 😅

As you take on more visible initiatives, you'll occasionally make decisions that generate friction. That's inevitable. #FoodForThought

Getting excited for my upcoming first-ever trip to New York. Any recommendations for a first-timer? Both the obvious and the non-obvious are welcome! #NewYork #NYC

I would never have bought myself a cleaning robot, but I praise the day my wife and I got one for our birthdays 😂

Day two of owning a flying Tesla Roadster.

First time in 10+ years I’ve spotted a random person in a car playing a song I co-composed and played on. What a feeling! 🤩

Runna Diamond level - checked! ✅ It took one year, but I finally made it. 703km over 190 sessions. Curious if I’ll ever double it to the final badge 😅 #running

Plans for tomorrow are obvious. Runna diamond - here I come! 😎

Explore the universe in 3D CSS. JavaScript is optional. Launching css.earth 🌍 🚀 #WorldSpaceWeek

Krzysztof Tutak with a full house, talking about limiting what an agent can do - or, in simpler terms, how to put it on a leash. Meanwhile, I’m getting ready for my talk on the same stage. Starting soon 💪 #4developers

Thank you for all the submissions (😜). You were right - that indeed was one and the only @farisaziz.com

My dear Bluesky friends. Guess who came up with the title of this talk? Think, you know him! 😎

Yay! I really wanted my Thermomix to get AI capabilities. Here comes my intelligent oatmeal 🫠

Now we can call it #allinclusive 💪

Day three of not (vibe) coding. I’m starting to say “hi” to strangers.

There’s no other place in the world with such a high density of big-brand fashion outfits per square meter as the departure terminal at Alanya Airport. 😅

I’m a bit disappointed. I expected Trump to stick to the naming convention he set and rename it “America’s Intelligence.”

I see lots of great releases coming from @manning.com recently, and I know this one by @denodell.bsky.social is going to be a banger! I really need to give MEAP a try. I’ve already pre-ordered a few books, but I keep waiting for the paperbacks. Somehow, they still give me the most joy when reading.
