Oskar Dudycz: I Should Probably Be Working Less...
Oskar Dudycz, a Software Architect, Consultant, and a passionate open-source advocate helping fellow humans build Event-Driven systems. His Github profile showcases an impressive variety of past contributions and ongoing open-source projects, such as Emmet - a Node.js library taking your event-driven applications "back to the future" and Pongo - a Mongo but on Postgres. Beyond coding, Oskar actively shares his knowledge at conferences, runs workshops for teams and companies, and publishes the widely popular newsletter for architects, Architecture Weekly. Oskar’s life is full of surprising twists - from running the most popular Polish Radiohead fan-site to being a Eurobasket mascot and keeping his Amiga 500 alive and kicking.
In this episode, we explore Oskar's journey into coding, his leadership roles and open source contributions - all seamlessly bundled it with business and life. Learn how he became a solopreneur, choosing what to work on and when to work (or not!). We discuss how Oskar balances consultancy, workshops and travels to conferences with his passion for open-source and family life. You'll also discover how he is maintains consistency in sharing knowledge with fellow professionals, while clearing his head from an overload to avoid burnout. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just getting started, this conversation is packed with insights and inspiration!

    1. Async communication. Don't break the flows of your coworkers. 2. Preventing issues. Then there is nothing to resolve. 3. Both. AI has its place. 4. Draft docs as you go, refactor later. 5. Bit of both.

    m a programmer at one of the MNCs but nor very good at it...but i very find coding really interesting.....do you think its wise for me to deep dive into programming

      @@anirbanroy929 you're already deeper than many of the others! I think without evolving and educating yourself further, sooner or later it might make you bored. Doesn't need to, but migth. There is also a plenty of possible shifts of careers even within the industry itself. Worth asking yourself a question if you like what you do (at least for most of the time)? And if not - why / what else can you do? Something made you start doing it. I did start liking programming after about 3 years of running my own company already where we did program a lot day to day ;) I knew how to do it, but didn't know it can be fun too. Never too late to realize anything. Keep it up!

    I got impression that you won't be providing so much value to this channel contrary to your guests - which I presume is wrong. Question that appeared in my head - if this guy is suggesting so, why he can do this channel and someone else can't? Also, you haven't mention the rationale behind live streams. It seems counter-intuitive, cause in this case users are loosing part of the content (everything prior to joining the stream). But I see the value of asking questions in chat. Maybe Q&A+yt video would fit your goal better? (async)

      @@szymeo69 it's a very good feedback, thank you very much for sharing it with me! I do want and will be sharing my thoughts and value too. This is why I do want to record my points of view and "talking head" videos or even vlogs on the specific subject. I do also know many more experienced and advanced people in various fields who do not feel a need to have their UA-cam presence. That's also why often they need a "medium" or someone who will find them and give them the way to share their wisdom - that's what I want to do as well. Having a channel doesn't mean anything to be fair - I have a life and career outside of UA-cam, what I want to bundle somehow :) also.. some of my guests have their channels too! Hope they will get their presence/momentum. Livestreams - you're 100% valid. Recordings of them will be in UA-cam (see my other channel umbraCoffee - where most of the content is coming from lives). It's just easier for me to do a livestream than video. It is raw, doesn't need to be edited and is for people who join or share the stream. Raw, natural, pure value. Hope it shares more motivation behind each point. Thanks again for raising these concerns and please do share more if you'll have anything to share!
