A few weeks ago, we (myself & my two friends - Tomek & Wojtek, as a part of a community called CTO Morning Coffee) hosted an online X Spaces session on Domain-Driven Design (DDD). To be clear, this wasn't supposed to be an intro session; quite the contrary....
Many people who've never seen high-performing teams in action (I mean genuinely high-performing, not just the ones who self-claim they are ...), assume that all that you need to form such a team is: * assign them a mission (they could identify with) * grant them a sufficient...
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'...
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...

So, I’m back. What was happening during those few days? 1. I moved. New flat, new surroundings, new environment, new reality. To be brief - seems like a vast improvement, so far - so good. 2. I’ve started digging into SignalR (http://signalr.net/) - async signaling library for .NET. You...
Already implemented solutions are the great source of inspiration - that’s why I keep checking latest start-ups, especially those truly successful. Obviously even if some service gets popular, it doesn’t mean that it will get really profitable (and survive…) - that’s why start-ups with good business cases...
Let’s assume you’ve got will and time to do some learning - what’s the way to do it in a most efficient way? 1. There has to be a source of information - person, book, e-book, etc. 2. Information range has to be suited to your needs (subject,...
