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...
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 "...

As you may already know, the more complex deal is, the more roles are involved and some roles have to...
You may be a bit confused with this post’s title - does it even make any sense to talk about real-time in the web? Before we answer that - what makes a real-time application? That’s quite easy - event source pushes the events towards user’s dashboard (in this...
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,...
