Software Engineer

Hi. I’m Alex, an engineer interested in DX, growth, architecture, photography, design and much more. I enjoy experiments, new technologies and building things. These days, it’s mostly about React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript.

Inspired by people like you - passionate and curious creators. Hope you’ll find some of my experiences interesting as well.

Open Social Software. npmx

We’ve just celebrated reaching 3,000 stars, made a number of major releases, and the team gave a really great presentation at atmosphereconf... But it seems I still hadn’t actually answered so many questions - just teased at the end of the previous article. I think it’s time to formulate the answers and finally gather them all in one place.

Still taking a break and people chatting. In the foreground is a pizza box, and in the background, a nice guy, already packed, is discussing something further
As always, wonderful people are standing during the break and discussing something good
Empty chairs on stage. No one around either. It’s as if everyone has already left and all that’s left is to turn off the lights, but the best part is yet to come - the panel
And now all these wonderful people have moved over to the stage, where they're listening to presentations and raising their hands to ask questions
The most wonderful people socializing in groups around a table with pizza
