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...
I've spend yesterday's early evening on presenting about Reactive Extensions [https://rx.codeplex.com/] (Rx) for professional local .NET enthusiast User Group in Warsaw - WG.NET [http://www.wg.net.pl/]. To be honest I didn't expect many people to come: * it'...

I have a weak spot for the policy design pattern since ol' good C++ times: I think it has all started when I've read one of Sutter's / Alexandrescu's books with some great examples of policies injected via template parameters. This way you could...
Private advertisement mode ON In about 1-1.5 week time I'll be presenting about Reactive Programming in .NET at WG.NET [http://www.wg.net.pl/]. The final date is not confirmed yet (it should be very soon & I'll update this post for sure), but...
This post is a continuation of previous post, please find the part I here [https://no-kill-switch.ghost.io/if-you-havent-noticed-yet-passwords-are-dead-part-i/] Ok, so my password may have leaked - what's a big deal? What if it was a meaningless password to the minor site, bound with account that does not...
No more slacking and delaying the unevitable, this weekend I've migrated fully to cloud password manager. It doesn't mean I didn't use it before - for over a year I was using KeePass [http://keepass.info/] with DropBox synchronization, but even if I like...
