“Polish programmers are the best in the world ” this slogan is often used to encourage the young generation to start a career in the IT industry. The ranking of the countries with the best HackerRank programmers is invoked like a mantra, according to which Poland is on the 3rd place. What the world values our country for ? How is the IT sector developing in Poland ?

And such a result would not be possible if it were not for the programmers, because this increase is in particular due to IT centers, which are the most common in the ABSL database (46.5 proc.).

Social media are the most powerful tools in the modern world. Internet reaches areas which it didn’t in the past, the mobile applications market grows and more and more people use social media. As you can see in the chart below, Twitter shares drop in the social media market.
On the other hand, where Facebook and Instagram are mostly applications for marketing purposes, Twitter is, in my opinion, the best information tool. That’s why I would like to show how to get recent tweets and display them in a GatsbyJS application. (więcej…)
The topic seems quite obvious and many developers have either heard something about tests or know very well what they are, but unfortunately they still do not use them in their projects.
