Organizing coffee in the office is very simple. But if you have been working with coffee machines, coffee, and coffee-related IT solutions for many years, you might forget that some people may not know the basics. This was reminded to me by the article 'How many programmers does it take to drink a cup of coffee'. Every profession has its own special kind of immersion, a professional deformation. To feel this, try […]
Moving to work in Australia or Thailand at 25 with no family isn’t that hard. There are many stories like this. However, relocating when you are nearly 40, with a wife and three children (aged 8, 5, and 2 years) is a task of a different level of complexity. Therefore, I want to share my experience of moving to Germany. About how […]

At the same time, […]
The Document Foundation announced the cessation of the formation of 32-bit binary builds of LibreOffice for Linux. The change will take effect starting with version 6.3, which is expected on August 7. The reason cited is the low demand for such builds, which does not justify the resources spent on their compilation, testing, maintenance, and distribution. The majority of Linux users install LibreOffice from distributions, rather than […]
CJ Silverio, who left her position as Chief Technology Officer of NPM Inc at the end of last year, presented a new package repository, Entropic, which is evolving as a distributed alternative to NPM, not controlled by any specific company. The Entropic code is written in JavaScript and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Recently, I noticed something. I used to not care, but now I know it — and I didn't like it. In all those corporate trainings, as well as starting from elementary school, we are told many things where, as a rule, there's not enough room for adventure, recklessness, and the triumph of the human spirit in its pure, sublimated form.

I discussed the essence of these methods and my experience applying them, as well as the reasons I like or dislike them. In this article, I want to talk about the modern concept of decision-making […]
