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)...
I consider myself a "product person". Counseling, consulting, and other types of mercenary work are cool short-term, but I'm not going to fool myself. In the end, I want to build (organically) something persistent and lasting that will stand out in comparison with the competition and make me proud as...
It's one of the lessons I've learned the hard way: there's no other resource valuable more than your own time. Why so? * it's hard-capped * it's not transferable (my time isn't directly exchangeable with your time, at least in the most vital aspects) * you can't acquire it - you can only...
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...
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...
The first article in the series can be found here. I've covered there how I started my journey (of getting rid of privacy-violating behavioral trackers & personalized ads) and what I've changed when it comes to news consumption & searching for information on the Internet. We'll continue from there. "Core" online services...
Success in technology is not evenly distributed - there are tons of failures, a plethora of organizations that balance on the edge, relatively few who have made it, and a tiny group of hyper-successful ones that have made history. Obviously, it's the last bunch that attracts the most attention. Everyone...
Disclaimer 1: As an exception, this article (book review) will be published only in Polish. Why so? The book in question is (AFAIK) only available in Polish, it also focuses on local (Polish) market specifics - there's little point in pretending that many non-Polish speakers will be interested. Disclaimer 2:...
I need to admit I have some wicked hobbies. One of them is spotting absolutely ridiculous job positions/functions on LinkedIn, just for kicks'n'giggles. Some of them are absolutely bonkers & it's super-hard to imagine what sane person could come up with an idea for such a role. I planned to...

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....
