Your ROI while working with an outsourced team mostly depends on their results per dollar, not dollars per hour. The first metric is difficult to calculate, and only the best teams will be able to do so. The second metric is absolutely misleading, but anyone will give it to you. An outsourced team is expensive when its results per dollar are low, no matter how big or small its dollars-per-hour rate is. To the contrary, a team is financially very efficient if its results per dollar is high. It doesn’t really matter what the value of the second metric is. — How Expensive Is Your Outsourcing Team?

Помилование (2023) от Айнура Аскарова приятно удивил режиссурой, молодыми талантами и конечно Гелой Месхи. Сюжет медленно раскачивается, обещая скучную концовку, но последняя треть фильма ставит все на свои места. А за неожиданный финал отдельная благодарность сценаристам.

When I interview programmers, I don’t pay attention to how much they know about Java, how well they understand OOP, or how many projects they’ve managed to complete to date. And, of course, I don’t care how potentially likable they are. Instead, I pay attention to how much they hate to see what doesn’t look right. I check how intolerant to chaos they are. To be honest, very few of them exhibit these qualities. — Talented Programmers, Who Are They? (2019)

Don’t sit and passively wait until your boss comes to you and say what exactly needs to be done. Instead, pro-actively build your own plans by yourself and do everything to convince the boss that they make sense. Moreover, if the boss starts telling you what to do, you must realize that this is the moment where the credit is lost. You’ve already been classified as a loser and an underachiever. Your chances of recovery are very low. You must not allow this to happen. Act proactively; don’t wait until it’s too late and the boss starts assigning tasks to you. — One Question You Should Never Ask Your Boss (2020)

In 2021, we had a few YouTube Q&A sessions with you guys: F1 and F2. You were asking questions in the chat and I was answering, to the camera. It seems to be reasonable to restart this "podcast." Today, at 18:00 (UTC+3) you can join F3 stream, where you can ask any questions you like (either in Russian or in English): software architecture, project management, object-oriented programming, teaching, research, science, lifestyle, politics.

Happiness, according to Nietzsche, is “the feeling that power increases—that a resistance is overcome.” Therefore, in order to be happy, we must have some issues to deal with. It’s not enough to possess those cars, houses and well-paid jobs. We need to overcome the obstacles first. Happiness is simply impossible without a struggle being won. — Be Unhappy to Be Happy (2019)

If you are a manager I have a suggestion for you. Fire those who are ready to work overtime without any compensation. They are the trouble makers. Instead, work with those who are not afraid of putting their own interests on the table and demanding what’s theirs. They will make you stronger, … if you manage to configure your project to deal with their demands correctly. If you don’t, you will lose the money, the project, and your reputation. But you will learn something. — Altruism Kills! (2019)

В ней речь идет о метрике для оценки качества кода, под громким названием Maintainability Index, предложенной в 1994 году. В конце лекции мы также кратко разбираем процесс написания empirical software engineering научных статей (студенты этим заняты) — может быть будет полезно.

Tomorrow I will be recording an interview with Yakov Fain, an author of a few books about Java/JavaScript programming, an expert in software engineering, and the first guest of my Shift-M podcast — I interviewed him in 2017. Currently, he lives in USA and supports Ukraine and Israel (in recent military conflicts). Thus, it will be an interesting debate, I believe. What questions do you think I should ask him?

In an ideal world of ideal management, the project compensates the work of its programmers according to the metrics collected. Instead of salaries, programmers get money for features, bugs, documentation pages, and so on. How far your project is from this utopia—is the indicator of your professionalism as a project manager. Lousy managers don’t measure anything and make everybody “happy” by keeping wages high and control low … until the project runs out of money. On the other hand, exceptionally good managers let metrics control everybody, making the best happy and the worst … quickly find the way out. Which one are you? — To Measure or Not to Measure (2020)
