Rails with Webpacker and Blueprintjs
Blueprint.js is a UI toolkit by Palantir that I decided to try on my next project. I've been using Bootstrap, Material, Ant Design and custom in-house design systems in the past. I'd like to see how would Blueprint turn out compared to my favorite Ant Design.

Setting up local rails development
After years, I got back to ruby and rails development. There's a lot of exciting changes in language, framework and gems, and I couldn't wait to dive into coding in RoR again.

Developers' choices and where do I stand
I though it would be nice to write down where do I stand on various development topics. Mostly to have a memory on what and why did I use at certain point in time, what was the popular choice and what was my own reasoning. It would be interesting to have this reviewed after some time, to see how my preference evolves.

Typography in Material UI
Our UI design team follows Material guidelines, and they do their best to keep up within Typography limitations of Material design system. Nevertheless, they are short of typography styles to communicate UX the way they need to, and so they use additional typography styles. How could we meet UX requirements on UI side, and also keep our code clean?

Mentoring sessions recording setup
I thought it would be beneficial to see how I could improve my mentoring sessions. Not only the way I set these up, but also in what I react to, how I communicate, if I analyze challenges right on the fly, etc. To do this effectively, recording sessions was the first step. I checked with client and they agreed and even welcomed the idea.

Portfolio projects maintenance
In early 2020, I revamped my website and decided to improve my portfolio presentation.
As part of that effort, I also wanted to provide better screenshots and more insights into scope of the work on individual projects and client work that I did. With over 80 projects to go through, this was and still is a pretty long term goal.
