Tomas Votruba is a software architect and open-source advocate who makes complex PHP codebases easier to work with. He’s the creator of Rector, a tool that helps thousands of developers upgrade their legacy code automatically.

Tomas writes with the same clarity and precision he brings to code: sharp, no fluff, always actionable. When he’s not coding, you’ll find him pruning trees, exploring train timetables, or benchmarking CPUs like Threadripper for real-world dev workflows.

He believes the best solutions are boring, fast, and easy to maintain.

His writing speaks to devs who value craft, clarity, and getting things done.
