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...
I bet that nearly everyone in the software-crafting industry has heard about YAGNI [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren%27t_gonna_need_it] ("You Ain't Gonna Need It") principle. But what about TAGRI? TAGRI (which is nearly as old as YAGNI) stands for "They Aint Gonna Read It". And...
I've used many personality assessment methods & tools in the past. Gallup SF, Transactional Analysis, OCEAN - that sort of stuff (& more). I'm not a professional behavioral psychologist (of course), but I thought nothing would surprise me regarding the qualification of personality types. Yet, I've recently (in the last few months)...
Let me start with a small reminder: This is my private blog. The opinions expressed here are my own & do not represent unofficial or official standpoints of my employers, neither past nor current ones. Howgh. I'm not sure when you read these words, so I'll present the context briefly: 1....
Some organizations are said to have a "writing culture". They promote it as more objective & fair - it helps shy/introverted people express themselves and bridges the status gaps between people in different levels of org charts. Deliberate practice in writing improves the brevity & clarity of thought and makes knowledge...
Generative AI has taken the world by storm. One can barely find any tool that does not have LLM incorporated somehow (whether it makes sense or not). But these are still very early days for this kind of tech (despite "Attention Is All You Need" being published over six years...
I believe that the economic model behind the Internet (in its current collective form) is broken. It has evolved from a proto-model where the information was free, so commercialization was inevitable. However, instead of a frictionless compensation model where the end-users pay a fair monetary price for the service/information,...
Last week's Apple's announcement of a fancy AR goggle set (Apple Vision Pro) has spurred yet another wave of ridiculous comments online: "Is this a future of metaverse?", "'Spatial computing' eats the metaverse!", "Who is more 'meta': Meta or Apple?" Add that to the previous hype on the topic & it...
