Goals are not rocket science, right? Just make sure they are SMART [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria], confirm the specific objective value, and get yourself busy, striving to get there before the deadline is due, correct? In fact, many do just that. I find it an equivalent of...
Pandemic has sped up some phenomena, changing the world forever. One of them is the global equalization of the digital society. Your location and nearest vicinity do not play such an essential role in your life anymore - more and more interactions have moved nearly exclusively into the digital space....
Tym razem post po polsku, co niekoniecznie często zdarza się na tym blogu. Skąd ten wyjątek? Będę pisał o swojej pracy, o tym czym zajmuję się na co dzień - podobnych opisów w języku angielskim (stworzonych przez moich kolegów i koleżanki na podobnych stanowiskach) jest pewnie dużo, a mnie zależało...
Frankly, the idea that originated this blog post is not mine. It has all started with some observation (unfortunately, I can't recall the author, but maybe some of you, readers, will help me with that, for the sake of correct attribution) made in one of the heated Internet discussions on...

Briefly speaking: I am a note-making addict. I write/sketch all the time, and effective visual language is essential in my daily routine (both personal and professional). I have two primary use cases: * creating notes just for myself - as a contribution to my evergrowing knowledge base * collaboration with others,...
AWS re:Invent 2022 happens this week. I assume you know what kind of event that is, so I'll move straight to the point. No, I'm not going to write about my predictions, but I'll focus on what I'd wish for instead. I hope the difference between those two is...

Disclaimer: this post will be available only in Polish (for now). It was triggered by a discussion in a local IT community in Poland and TBH I'm not even sure whether there are similar discussions in other communities - AFAIK there are not, but maybe there are things I'm not...
