I remeber myself being a junior - overwhlemed by enthusiasm and lack of experience, eager to just create things, not thinking about how to maintain them in the future. What a pain it was for our leads to handle us. "Herding Cats: A Pri

2017 was pretty quiet, so we are probably on a verge of something spectacular. - Good batteries or small autonomous power sources is what we really-really need now, so I'd expect that in the first place. - More advances in the area of

It should be noticed that there were the times when Mark Hamill was incredibly pissed off that people only see Luke in him and his acting career was actually ruined by this role. But now he is older and it looks like he is just fine with it

I guess we should take a time and make a clearer terminology. The developer is the one who develops things. The coder/programmer is the one who writes code. There was a time when both terms were synonyms, but nowdays it is not true.

Take two programmeers, a passionate one and non-passionate about his job and give them the same complex task that can not be solved without invention. I did this experiment a dozen of times over my subordinates and non-passionate ones alway
