The yesterday’s event has been a success in my opinion!
I’ve had a great time, and the turn-out was even larger than expected.
Reminder: Discover Hugo and static website generation
Reminder for those who have signed up for the event: tomorrow, 21 November I will present about Hugo and the cool things you can make with it.
So if you’re interested how websites like Let’s Encrypt, 1Password Support, or this one are built, do stop by.

Managing Git projects on a mass scale
Anyone who has been in the software development business for a while, is certainly familiar with the hassle of arranging, keeping track of, pulling, committing etc. of dozens of local Git repositories being used or developed.
Slow connection to MySQL in Docker
My current project makes use of the MySQL database, which runs in a Docker container.
At a certain moment connecting to the database became excruciatingly slow, taking tens of seconds to establish a single connection. After that everything would work as expected.
The application opens a connection some hundred times, so the startup time had become really unacceptable.
I’ve spent a lot of time hunting that down, and then even more time looking for a solution as I failed to find any on StackOverflow. But finally I’ve solved this.
Tutorial: development with Yii/PHP/MySQL using Docker
It’s been about a year since I’ve switched to developing this website (built with Yii 2/PHP/MySQL) using Docker. After just one try I realised that Docker is the best thing happened to development. Well, after Vim, of course.
So I’ve decided to write a brief tutorial on setting up a dockerised development environment, in the hope it could be helpful for those who never tried Docker or experience difficulties getting started.
