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...
Lambda Days 2016 [http://www.lambdadays.org/] is just around a corner, what reminds me a conversation I had a year ago (at Lambda Days 2015) with guys from Klarna [https://www.klarna.com/]. We were discussing their business & what's under its hood (Erlang is ;D). It...
A lot has change since I've gone pro in software development, one could say at least one era has passed since then, but some things never change - one of them is Enterprises loving Fuckin' Big Projects (FBP), dinosaurs of XX/XXI century. In defiance to the...
Do you know any software craftsmanship practitioners who got fascinated by DDD [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-driven_design]? By its cleaniness, simplicity or completeness? People who have found the way proposed by Evans their missing tool for describing complex domains in a simple way? I know quite a few...
All right, as it's already official now ... > Sebastian Gębski @liveweird [https://twitter.com/liveweird] na ścieżce #dotnet [https://twitter.com/hashtag/dotnet?src=hash]!

I've already promised myself some time ago: > "No more conference reviews, chap." But I'll start 2016 with breaking this rule once again, just so I can tell you that ... DDD Europe 2016 [http://dddeurope.com/2016/] was way better than I expected. No...
Our industry is batshit crazy. No point in denying. What we do (services based on pieces of software) is so multi-dimensional that sometimes it's damn hard to find a common denominator between two: people, projects, products, architectures, methods. Obviously, it's got its pros (let's...
