What Kind of Writing and Topics You’ll Find on Artur Piszek’s Website

Updated

piszek.com is a personal site for essays and project notes by Artur Piszek, an engineer and psychologist who works at WordPress.com. The writing centers on AI, WordPress, the open web, and personal knowledge management, with occasional book reflections. You can read recent posts directly on the homepage and subscribe by email via the site’s subscribe page.

Main themes

The site describes itself as “essays on connections, useful things, and living deliberately.” In practice, the recent writing clusters around a few recurring interests:

  • AI and agents — practical setups for using AI tools, including password management for “free range agents.”
  • WordPress and the open web — strategy for AI features in WordPress and what the new WordPress knowledge API enables.
  • Personal knowledge management — using WordPress as a sync layer for Obsidian and writing in plain Markdown.
  • Books and reflection — short notes on books such as Be Useful by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Projects alongside the writing

The site also links to things Piszek is building:

  • WP Knowledge — a private, permissioned, revisioned place in WordPress for guidelines, memories, notes, and the tools that use them.
  • Oh My Lake! — a WordPress-native atlas of 109,541 European lakes combining open data, local evidence, reviews, and photography.
  • DoomToll — an iPhone-first “digital tollbooth” that turns opening social media from a reflex into a conscious choice.

Who it’s for

This site suits readers interested in how AI and the open web intersect with WordPress, people who want practical notes on tools like Obsidian and 1Password, and anyone who enjoys short, idea-driven essays about connections and deliberate living. If you’re looking for long-form tutorials or news coverage, the posts are closer to working notes and personal essays than to a publication.
