Personal website and blog of Tamas Mezei. Welcome to my little corner of the web, where I share my professional experiences, thoughts, adventures, and projects with the world.
AI can improve software delivery, but it cannot compensate for unclear standards, weak ownership, or poor engineering culture. In this post, we explore why AI platforms inherit the organisations they serve, and why better outcomes start with engineering discipline, measured bottlenecks, and deliberate adoption.
In this post, we will explore how learned helplessness creeps into development teams in large organizations, the telltale symptoms to watch for, how poor leadership and management practices teach teams to feel helpless, and - most importantly - what leaders can do to break this cycle.
Coding conventions are having a renaissance. AI agents code with us now, and they learn what we teach. Time to dust off the manual, because AI reads manuals, too. This post is a bit more frontend-focused, but everything here maps to other areas of software development just as well.
An informal journey for software architects and tech leads on taming coding standards and aligning them with what really matters.
Software development is rarely a solitary endeavor - especially on large, complex projects. When multiple developers, architects, and stakeholders span different time zones, offices, or even continents, the challenges of maintaining consistency can grow exponentially. In these situations, well-defined guidelines or coding conventions aren`t just "nice to have" - they can make or break a project`s…
Software development is not just about writing code - it is a collaboration. In large teams working on complex projects, code reviews are meant to be a process of knowledge sharing, quality assurance, and professional growth. At the heart of every code review is a conversation between individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
In this blog post we will discover how to implement a consitent, SEO friendly URL structure, focusing on using the www subdomain over the apex domain, for a personal website, using URL redirection with Amazon CloudFront and Route 53.
Today we will dive deep into the world of hosting a static website on Amazon S3 using CloudFront. If you’re looking for a secure, reliable, scalable, cost effective and performant solution, you’ve come to the right place.
Hosting a simple static website on Amazon Web Services (AWS) can be daunting at first, but luckily it’s quite straightforward. One option for hosting a static website on AWS is to use Amazon S3. In this post, we will walk through the steps to host a static website using only S3 and only the AWS Management Console.
As a software engineer, I can`t think of a better way to start my blog than with the classic "Hello, World!". For those unfamiliar with the term, "Hello, World!" is often the first program developers write when learning a new programming language or...
