Hello, my name is Marcin Kwiatkowski. Welcome in my garage! ![[marcin_kwiatkowski2025.jpg]] If you want to read more about me, checkout the [[About]] page. All content you can see here is a part of my open source repository called with the same name - garage. You can find it here: [https://github.com/Frodigo/garage](https://github.com/Frodigo/garage) All code examples, tools, experiments etc. are there. is open source and will be **open source forever.** *You may ask: why I named code repository "garage"?* I like cars, especially classic ones. I wish I have a garage with some nice classic car like old Ford Mustang or BMW. But for now I have only a computer which allow me to do some things. I think that I do these things in the garage. My engineering garage. I can do some things and no corporation is behind it. I am independent, I broadcast from a garage for people in other garages. I am a craftsman. I learn by doing tinkering in my garage. I do not care about deadlines or profit. I can go to my garage when I want. Recently I started learning Python and I really like the "Zen of Python". Inspired by it I created my own manifesto. ### The Zen of the Garage 1. Independence over dependency 2. Creation over consumption 3. [[Progress over perfection]] 4. Open-source over closed-source 5. Honesty over marketing BS --- ## Content structure - Garage (this page) - [[About]] - in case if you want to read more about me - [[Now]] - describes what I am currently focusing on and what I am doing - [[Changelog]] - a record of my progress and writing - [[Contact]] - contact information - [[Books]] - there's not much there at the moment, but I'll be posting book reviews there - [[Projects]] - shows my recent and current projects - [[Testimonials]] - here you can check what others say about me - [[ADR]] - Architecture decision Records for all projects in the garage - [[Privacy policy]] - a page that clearly says that I don't use cookies and I don't collect any your data. You are safe in my garage The best way to read content here is to use a navigation and explore content grouped by folders. --- ## Why I write? I am a notetaker. If I want to learn something I must write it down, rephrasing it. Actually I do not write this content because I think someone will read it. But when I publish it, you can read it and maybe it will help you somehow. Anyway, you can learn with me and this is the best thing of writing any content that is most ambitious that movies with cats on TikTok. If you a learner, technical and like to get to know why something works this way or that way, maybe you will find something useful here. --- ## RSS / Newsletter There are four options to be up-to-date with my content: 1.
