If you are a LaTeX user, you may find a few of my packages recently released to CTAN useful: huawei may help you design business documents if you work in/for Huawei; ffcode helps you write source code blocks inside academic texts; href-ul makes hyperlinks underlined just like in web; kdpcover creates a cover page for books published on Kindle Direct Publishing platform (this is where I publish mine).

The process of releasing to CTAN is not as simple as to other binary artifact storage platforms, like Maven Central or Rubygems. There is manual review in CTAN and a number of things that need to be done with the package, which are not explained anywhere. If you are interested in releasing your packages there, you may see how it's done in mine, for example this one: ffcode in GitHub.

M175: Say you are an architect, and your customer or a product owner asks you to explain your technical decisions, you may immediately jump into explanations. Don't do that. There must be a clearly drawn line between your territory of responsibility and authority and theirs. They define requirements for the product you develop, you make technical decisions according to the requirements. You don't need to explain anything. Watch it full on YouTube.

M174: Your personal goals must be much more important for you than your project and your team's ones. Of course, the team will try to make you sell your soul to them, but you must not forget about your long-term objectives. Watch it.

In the next four months I'll be presenting a series of 16 lectures in Innopolis University, for the 3rd year of BSc, on-site. The topic is "Software Systems Design" (OOP, UML, requirements, design patterns, formal models, testing). I will record all of them and publish on my YouTube channel (don't hesitate to subscribe right away, to not miss them).

I just released a new ZIP archive with Java classes from 1000 open source GitHub repositories and 15 metrics measured on them, here (692Mb). This dataset can be used for research and analysis of Java code on a large scale. There is still not enough metrics, though. Would be great if you can help and develop more of them, here is the list of issues that need help.

As I told you earlier, I'm one of the organizers of a new SPLASH workshop, called Beyond Code: No Code (BCNC). The submission deadline has just been extended for a few days. You still have a chance to submit your paper there. All papers will be published in ACM Digital Library. If you have something relevant to NoCode trend, don't hesitate and submit right away!

M173: "Where do you find inspiration for coding," I hear very often. The trick is simple: I try not to stay for too long with the same code base. I try to extract sub-module, libraries, or frameworks from the products I work with and make them standalone products. This is fun: making new products. Watch it.

Currently, I'm working on Polystat and EOLANG and need help: a few good senior Java developers and/or researchers to join me. The projects are pretty academic, that's why I expect you to be interested not only in coding but also in academic research. If you know someone, or want to try youself, text me. It's a full-time job opportunity in Moscow office (hybrid work mode: a few days a week remotely), with a lot of perks like annual bonuses, free medical insurance, etc.

M172: Very often our managers don't know exactly what we have to do. They don't have specific requirements, they don't know how to specify tasks for us. Is it bad? Many people complain and quit. I suggest the opposite strategy: you say and do what you think is important. Make your own requirements. Watch it.

I just released the first version of Java classes and metrics (CaM) dataset on GitHub: yegor256/cam. It is basically a script that clones a thousand Java repositories, collects some metrics for their classes, and puts together a few .csv reports. Everything is packaged in a .zip archive (387 Mb). You can use this dataset for your research purposes.

Also, if you want to contribute, would be great! We need more metrics to be collected for those Java classes. Now we only have eight. Check the list of issues that need help.

Also, if you know what other metrics we can easily collect from Java classes, let me know, I will add them to the dataset.
