Hello, my name is Tomasz Lelek, and I am a co-author of Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs.



Feel free to find me, invite and start a conversation here or on any social media such as linkedin, twitter or GitHub.

In our book, we are focusing on real-life use cases, design choices, and tradeoffs that every engineer or/and software architect needs to make in their day-to-day work.
Each chapter focuses on separate aspects of software engineering, such as code duplication, flexibility, performance testing, data locality, delivery semantics, and many more.


I will be around the week of September 13, 2022, to answer questions and share stories. Please see the book promotions schedule
You can grab the code from our book for free at this GitHub repo.

Hi Tomasz, welcome to the Ranch!

I like the look of this book, it appears to discuss a lot of the stuff I have conversations about on a near weekly basis. I especially identify with this chapter title

9 THIRD-PARTY LIBRARIES: LIBRARIES YOU USE BECOME YOUR CODE


I find myself explaining my caution against using third party libraries quite a lot. I had this conversation once:

"Why is this library checked into our source control?"
"There was a bug in it so I forked it and fixed it"
"You know we own that now and you've just added another product to our support and maintenance list?"
"Oh..."

That was a fun day.
