Слишком мало времени подумать.И в этот момент код перестаёт быть инженерной задачей. Он превращается в бесконечное тушение пожаров.Требования меняются быстрее, чем ты успеваешь их осмыслить. Приоритеты «на вчера». Технический долг растет не потому, что вы плохие разработчики, а потому что у вас просто нет времени быть аккуратными. Читать далее Read more ›

Почему Фрейд и квантовая механика объясняют бизнес-решения лучше, чем большинство MBA-курсовЯ пришла в психоанализ из топ-менеджмента в IT. Последние 4 года я развиваюсь в психоанализе: как в частной практике, так и в B2B. Я практик до мозга костей и поэтому все получаемые знания сразу переношу на понятные мне бизнес-структуры.
