Читать полностью…M168: Computer science is not so hard to do. If you are a professional software engineer, you can present your results in an academic way and publish them at one of those computer science conferences. You will get yourself a status of a researcher. This will only help you in your career. Watch it.

I highly recommend you reading this book. It helps understand how modern organizations, esp. large ones, are managed and what you can do in order to be on top of others. In a bad way too.
This is the description of the project I'm talking about.

Читать полностью…M166: You can acquire a new team member by making a better offer. I mean money. But you can't keep them with money. To keep someone in the team, especially if this is a top performer, you need two things: 1) challenging tasks, and 2) objective appraisal. Both of them are only available to good and strong managers. Watch it.

Читать полностью…M169: Every time I start a new book, an article, or a new software project, I spend a lot of time making sure it visually looks nice. Sometimes this process even takes longer than the writing itself. I'm kidding about this, but it's not so far from the truth. Visual representation of data/text is very important. Watch it full.

Читать полностью…M167: When you deal with a weak and incompetent manager, who is not capable of finding a way to measure people's results objectively, you have to behave like an imposter. If you don't, somebody else will and the manager will think that this guy is the best guy in the team, no matter what are the actual achievements. Watch it.
Читать полностью…Мы собираем новую команду в новом месте: Иннополис. Я для себя открыл его всего месяц назад. Этот город в 40 км от Казани был построен пять лет назад. В нем есть все, что мне нравится в Силиконовой Долине: умные люди, чистый воздух и фокус только на работе. Подумайте, это может быть интересным местом на ближайшие пару лет. Мы поможем с переездом (оплатим расходы), у нас условия выше рынка, у нас open source, у нас research проект, а не рутинный кодинг. Пишите, я расскажу подробнее: @yegor256.
