I am currently enrolled in a master’s programme focused on software and data engineering. My main interests are in the field of web development and software architecture.

This is useful if you need to be able to use ssh/git fully in Windows and WSL. If you do all your work only in one of these environments, you probably do not need this. https://patriktrefil.com/posts/wsl_bash_env/ Wed, 12 Jan 2022 10:56:39 +0100 https://patriktrefil.com/posts/wsl_bash_env/ This article might clear up the confusion about the environment Bash shell runs in under Windows. When you start the bash shell using the bash command, files such as ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, etc. are loaded. This is expected behavior. Now the counter-intuitive part. When you run a bash script using the bash command from Powershell, the script runs as a non-interactive bash script, which means, that the configuration files are not loaded. https://patriktrefil.com/library/ Fri, 13 Nov 2020 10:06:06 +0100 https://patriktrefil.com/library/ This is a list of books I found worth reading. Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck For me this is an iconic piece from the self development category. Great read, great life advice inside. Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less This is what minimalism should have been. I adapted the following mindset changes from this book: Everything matters -> only a few things actually matter I can do everything -> I can do anything, but not everything Busy does not equal productive Some, if not all, of these might seem obvious, but you probably commit these mistakes on daily basis and you don’t even realize it. https://patriktrefil.com/programs/ Fri, 13 Nov 2020 09:56:01 +0100 https://patriktrefil.com/programs/ This is a list of software I use and recommend.

This model is an excellent option for students because of Apple Pencil support. It performs well in easy tasks such as browsing the web, checking e-mails and watching Netflix. Let's dive deeper into the pros and cons of this product. It is an Apple product, so everything works well with their other products. Using hand-off to continue the work on your computer has never been so easy. https://patriktrefil.com/posts/distant_travels/ Wed, 22 May 2019 17:10:53 +0200 https://patriktrefil.com/posts/distant_travels/ I was watching the sun go down when out of the blue a flying pirate-like ship appeared. I thought I was in a dream, but soon I realised that was not the case. Even though I had chills going down my spine, my curiosity kept me sitting on the cliff. I was quiet and still; I could hear my own heartbeat. I was convinced the ship would pass by without the crew noticing me. https://patriktrefil.com/posts/out_of_style/ Sat, 18 May 2019 09:56:14 +0100 https://patriktrefil.com/posts/out_of_style/ Out of Style The world we live in today is a complicated, fast-paced place with many problems. I want to dedicate this essay to the environmental and ethical issues while keeping the focus predominantly on (fast) fashion and its impacts. I consider raising awareness about consumerism and the materialistic character of society vital, since it may very well destroy our planet. Fast fashion is, by its definition, a production of inexpensive clothing by mass-market retailers in response to the latest trends. https://patriktrefil.com/posts/good_or_bad/ Wed, 01 May 2019 09:50:49 +0100 https://patriktrefil.com/posts/good_or_bad/ Good or bad? Have you ever asked yourself the question where does the ability to decide what is and is not moral come from? What has shaped our moral beliefs? Is our moral code determined more by our genetics or by our environment we live in ? All of these are difficult questions and I am going to attempt to answer them in this text. This essay is going to explore the impacts of genetics, religion and culture, environment and upbringing on human’s moral principles. https://patriktrefil.com/posts/limitless/ Wed, 01 May 2019 09:50:39 +0100 https://patriktrefil.com/posts/limitless/ Limit(less) Potential is defined as someone’s or something’s ability to develop, achieve, or succeed according to the Cambridge English Dictionary. In this essay, I would like to focus predominantly on the potential of individuals and its limitations. This is an important topic for every single one of us, considering potential is what makes us motivated and excited about the future. I think the significance is best explained by this quote from Zig Zaglar:" When you catch a glimpse of your potential, that’s when passion is born.
