Shortcuts.app in macOS is a tool for automating repetitive tasks. It has a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface and supports tasks such as opening apps, copying/pasting text, and sending messages. In this article, I'll demonstrate how to create a shortcut that inserts the current date into any app, which I use to quickly add dates to my notes, emails or Slack messages.

macOS Finder offers a possibility to preview the files of any type without opening them with Quick Look . By default Quick Look supports most commonly used file formats which may not be enough if you are a developer and you want to preview source code files i.e. Java or Python or any other un-common file types.

After switching from Windows to macOS I was looking for a simple screenshots taking tool to support my daily workflow. The built-in tools offered by macOS are not sufficient for me, mainly because of the image annotating tools and limited keyboard shortcuts support. For couple of days I used Skitch , but then I found Annotate , a light-weight and simple app with quite good keyboard shortcuts support.

So I ignored the library and I have been writing or generating tons of boilerplate code. Not anymore. In 2016 I joined a Spring-based project where project Lombok was already in place. And since then I can’t work without Lombok anymore… Why?

After switching to Git some time ago, I started working more and more with Git Bash on Windows. Git Bash is pretty cool as it provides (apart from Git) Bash supported with basic Unix tools including curl or ssh . Git Bash in Windows has some limitation though including limited customization options and lack of good copy & paste options supported with keyboard shortcuts. Fortunately, there is ConEmu that not only fills that gap but adds various features that make working with console applications more productive and more enjoyable for me.

As a Team Leader I work with a range of different tasks everyday. They are related to many aspects of my current company life from managing multiple teams, multiple projects, customers, improvements, reports to name a few. I work with short term tasks but also with long term ones like e.g. improvements. This makes that I have more tasks I am able to manage. It requires from me a good organization of work to get things done.
