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...

Some have nodded politely, some had a bit of laughter - very few treated it seriously. Ironically, it seems...
Straight to the point On-line software services are everywhere: I do shopping, check map / route / timetable, order food, communicate, do financial operations, read books / news, watch movies, listen to music, play games - ALL OF THAT thanks to on-line software via Internet. It all looks like sci-fi movies coming to...
Microservices [http://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html] (as a topic) are alive & wiggling. I assume you know what they are about & you've got some clue about the substance of criticism that has hit them. I'm not really that much interested in MS as such,...
How does it look alike usually... Damn, this is so annoying & it happens every 2nd day: > A: "Have you seen this new tool - XYZ v.1.0? It's awesome, we have to set it one ASAP. It does ABC & DEF." > B:...
Part I can be found here [https://no-kill-switch.ghost.io/androids-on-steroids-joint-lollipop-and-wear-review-part-i/].
