Future Of Work
Just saw a funny video pointing out this $Billion paradox: companies pay YouTube to show you ads, and users pay YouTube Premium to block those ads. It sounds ridiculous, but isn't the exact same thing happening in tech teams right now? We are aggressively deploying 2026-level AI coding capabilities to write software instantly and then, we drag that lightning-fast code through clunky, disruptive screen-sharing sessions and 1990-style meeting overhead. We are funding maximum velocity, then choking…
Think about the last person at work who genuinely impressed you. Not the one who knew the most, or had the longest resume, but the one you'd go to when something was broken and no one knew how to fix it. The one who could walk into an awkward meeting and somehow make everyone relax. The one who, when you described a vague problem, came back with three approaches you hadn't considered. What was it, exactly, that made them that way? We reach for words like _smart_, or _experienced_, or _a good co…
We speak about the future as if it were a place we are slowly approaching, a destination somewhere ahead of us on the timeline, waiting patiently while we prepare ourselves to finally arrive. We organize our lives around it, postpone happiness for it, justify suffering in its name, and accept present dissatisfaction as a reasonable price to pay for something that is supposedly coming later. And yet, when examined closely, the future begins to look less like a real thing and more like a very conv…
Most business logic ends up hardcoded deep in your app, and it’s slowly killing your codebase. What starts as a clean service grows into a bloated mess of if-else statements, feature flags, and ad-hoc patches no one dares touch. Before long, your services are "absolute units", ORM models do way more than map data, and you’re moving data back and forth like an unpaid intern, not a software engineer. How did we get here? The real problem: Business logic is treated like an afterthought When …
The pursuit of speed often takes precedence over other considerations. Conventional wisdom dictates that faster is better, as it enables organizations to swiftly deliver products to market, outpace competitors, and generate revenue more rapidly. All of this is true. However, a growing body of research challenges this long-held notion, revealing a paradoxical truth: sometimes, slowing down is the key to accelerating success. The Time-Saving Bias: Unraveling a Cognitive Illusion At the heart …
The world of software development and the galaxy far, far away of Star Wars both have unique and diverse characters. Each character has their own skills and abilities, from Jedi Knights to Sith Lords and from software engineers to DevOps specialists. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the common Star Wars characters and compare them to the various roles found in the software development industry. 1. Jedi Knights and Software Engineers Jedi Knights are powerful warriors who…
Just like Marvel superheroes, software developers possess unique and powerful abilities that set them apart from the rest. With their technical skills, software developers have the power to bring ideas to life and create functional and user-friendly applications that make technology accessible to everyone. Similar to Iron Man's intelligence and quick thinking, software developers have the ability to learn quickly and adapt to new technologies. …
Raising kids and building software are two of the most complicated tasks in the world. How is it for working developers’ parents to manage their two parts? On one hand, we want to give our best at our job because it is the place that gives us safety and on the other hand we want to be involved in our kid’s life and enjoy every single moment of it.…
Is it a Myth or it can happen? Well, from our point of view it is a mix of both. We believe that work-life balance is about a mindset and the concrete action you do every day juggle with it. We tend to see these two as different and separate entities. Because for some, work is that place where you go because you have to, you need the money to sur…
