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 level of autonomy...
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 in...
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...
No, I'm not switching to polish permanently, this post is just an exception. Stay tuned. Ten post wyjątkowo jest po polsku? Dlaczego?

As some of your already know, I had a great pleasure to participate in latest episode of DevTalk podcast [http://devtalk.pl/]. Why was it such a great pleasure? 1. Because good chat in a good company is always a pleasure :) Thanks, Maciej [http://www.maciejaniserowicz.com/]. 2. Well, it...
Breaking rocks like it's 1979 Some good analogies keep haunting me for years :) One of them I've heard from Liz Keogh [http://lizkeogh.com/] some time ago - I don't remember the exact event, but I'm sure it was live, not recorded...
We 'like' to put blame on factors that (in our opinion) lie beyond our control - stone-carved deadlines, outdated legacy, unimaginative Product Owners who always dump tech debt-related work items into abyss of Nice-To-Have. Some call it 'victimship' & it's all about giving up...
When I was starting my first paid job (as a software developer) success definition was quite simple: deliver pre-defined scope in pre-defined time (budget) & make sure that bugs don't break the general usability (you can call it a loose quality criteria ;>). A lot of things have...
Well-built service API may be a game changer. In both client-server & server-server scenario, especially if you're following the latest trend of building fine-grained, loosely coupled (micro)services. I've seen several attempts, in different languages, for different domains & running on different platforms - regardless of...
