Analysis: Block’s retreat to 2019 scale could be a hint of deeper shifts in payments economics

While Jack Dorsey cites AI-enabled productivity gains as the reason for Block's cuts, the deeper shift is in payments plumbing: stablecoin settlement threatens to compress the fee stack that fintech acquirers have relied on for years. Read more

От Agile-команд к Сверхразуму

В советское время в каждом ресторане и крупном кафе выступали полноценные ансамбли: гитаристы, барабанщик, клавишник, духовая секция и певица. Содержание такого коллектива стоило дорого, а их синхронная игра требовала долгих репетиций. С появлением мощных синтезаторов надобность в огромных ансамблях отпала: оказалось, что для качественного звука достаточно дуэта — клавишника за пультом и солиста.Сегодня мы видим то же самое на рынке развлечений: корпорации с неограниченными бюджетами по инерции заказывают ж Read more

Подсказка вместо мышления: как автогенерация кода меняет junior и middle за один год

Я год наблюдал, как в нашей команде junior и middle разработчики почти полностью пересели на автогенерацию кода. Сначала это выглядело как ускорение. Через несколько месяцев начали всплывать странные эффекты: деградация архитектурного мышления, рост скрытого техдолга и зависимость от подсказок. В этой статье — не морализаторство, а практические наблюдения, конкретные примеры кода и вопросы, которые мне самому пришлось себе задать. Читать далее Read more

HelpDesk из Flask и палок: как мы сделали систему заявок, которой пользуются врачи

Я думаю, многие айтишники не любят принимать заявки от пользователей по телефону. Многим знакома ситуация, когда служебный телефон находится в режиме «без звука», и только индикатор активности линии выдаёт, что кто‑то пытается дозвониться до IT‑отдела. Или когда айтишники редко находятся на рабочем месте, а координатора в отделе, который бы принимал заявки и передавал их затем своим коллегам, нет. Раздавать свой личный номер всем я, например, не хочу — иначе замучают... Read more
