Hi, I’m Adam
Lead C++ & Embedded Linux Engineer
I write about lessons learned from real projects - automotive platforms, Set-Top Box systems, IoT devices, Linux-based products and the everyday challenges of building reliable software close to the system.
This blog is also a place where I share thoughts on technical leadership, communication, mentoring, and cooperation in engineering teams because good software is not only about code, but also about how people work together.

Most uses of std::move don’t do what you think
Move semantics is powerful. But std::move is often misunderstood. I keep seeing it used like a “make it faster” button. So it […]

How to secure D-Bus methods with polkit
Exposing a D-Bus method is only half of the problem. The other half is deciding who is allowed to call it. In […]

D-Bus Introspection in Practice: Exploring systemd from the Command Line
Most of the time, we talk to systemd through systemctl. It is convenient, readable and usually exactly what you want. But systemctl […]
