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...
Among all the interesting sessions at Lambda Days [http://www.lambdadays.org/] there was one titled "The Tools That Shape Us" by Andrea Magnorsky [https://twitter.com/silverSpoon]. I liked the topic & the way it was presented, but in this blog post I'm gonna focus...

I love the direction on-line services are going towards: instead of "buying" an access to a digital item "forever", in many cases it's possible to go for a pay-per-use / rent for the limited period of time model. It seems to make a lot of...
It all starts with the book While I was reading Sam Newman's [https://twitter.com/samnewman] "Building Microservices" [http://www.amazon.com/Building-Microservices-Sam-Newman-ebook/dp/B00T3N7XB4], I've found a very interesting paragraph - let me quote it here for easier reference (I've bolded...
I'm a hopeless case of a typical bookworm - I don't read books, I just devour them. Fiction, non-fiction, tech: everything. In general people in the industry acknowledge the fact that we're supposed to keep learning or we're out of business (and...
Few days ago I had a short discussion about an idea for a webapp (publicly available, commercial, you know - all the usual stuff). As I am doing a lot of stuff in web nowadays & I've made few SPAs with different libs recently, I was asked: >...
