 * Hey,
    Is there any way to query posts written by some specific user (currently
   logged in)? I know this can be achieved by custom SQL query, but there should
   be a native built in function, isn’t it?

       $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
       if ( $current_user->ID > 0 ) {
           $query = new WP_Query('author='.$current_user->ID);
           while ( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post();
               the_title();
           endwhile;
           wp_reset_postdata();
       }
       ```

 * Thanks, that did the trick! Shame I did not notice the presence of author argument
   in codex.
