Tjaž Eržen

I build things and write code.

Some things about me:

• Grew up in Kranj, Slovenia
• Studied maths in Ljubljana, then turned software engineer
• I am founding engineer at *codeplain, building spec-driven development code generation tool for developers
• I love being at the intersection of engineering and product

Some things I believe:

• Agency is superpower
  • Most of the things I am most proud in life of have come from just doing the thing
  • It's easier to ask questions, debate, and have second thoughts
• Move faster
  • Speed and passion often make up for mistakes
  • Most things that stop you from building and creating in life are fake
• Authenticity is in increasing demand
  • Quality of content (posts, blogs, music, designs) in the AI age is degrading.
  • Being authentic is something only humans can do
  • The value of being human is going up

Podcast:

• I am co-host of Ogrodje podcast

My passions, hobbies, and interests - I like to do the following:

• (re)watch The Matrix 🤖0️⃣1️⃣
• Wear fast glasses
• Appreciate beautiful design. Modernism has sucked the soul out of it.
• Train hard

Would love to grab a drink sometime. Currently, I'm based in Ljubljana, Slovenia → [email protected].
