Я месяцами пилил MVP, потому что боялся позвонить клиенту

Понедельник. Я просыпаюсь и сразу же сажусь вайбкодить. Впрочем, я возможно даже не ложился спать. Ведь я окрылён: от идеи будущего стартапа меня распирает изнутри. И ничего, что кредиты Claude Code улетучиваются со скоростью, с которой уходит энергия на созвоне, которому следовало быть письмом. Да и мой ИИ-агент не может врать, когда в очередной раз мне поддакивает: "О да, блестящий ход. Эта фича точно необходима. Сделаем это прямо сейчас или... Read more

Лучший разработчик в команде — не всегда лучший тимлид. Как оценивать кандидатов на повышение

Компания может повысить сильного инженера или нанять нового руководителя — и через полгода обнаружить, что команда проседает. Часто проблема не в резюме и не в технической экспертизе, а в том, что готовность кандидата управлять людьми не оценили до назначения.Одних закрытых задач, уверенного собеседования и хороших рекомендаций для этого недостаточно. В статье разберём, какие сигналы помогают оценить готовность сотрудника к первой руководящей роли и как превратить саму оценку в понятный внутренний... Read more

SPI-контроллер на FPGA: от идеи до сигналов на осциллографе

Откройте любой учебный материал по FPGA. С вероятностью девяносто процентов он закончится мигающим светодиодом, бегущей строкой на семисегментнике или, в лучшем случае, генератором VGA-сигнала с цветными полосами. Это нормальные учебные задачи, но у них есть общее свойство, о котором редко говорят вслух: они работают сразу или не работают совсем. Прошили — мигает. Не мигает — перепроверили три строчки кода, нашли опечатку, мигает.Реальная инженерная работа с ПЛИС устроена иначе. Реальная задача... Read more

Как мы ускоряли прошивку ESP (спойлер: совы не то, чем кажутся)

Производство пожаловалось: модуль WB-MGE v.3 на ESP32 шьётся слишком долго — 42 секунды на устройство. Что начиналось как простое «склеить вызовы esptool в один», превратилось в копание в исходниках загрузчиков на Си и Расте, патч прошивальщика, разгон системной шины, физику NOR-флеша (туннелирование Фаулера–Нордхайма — теперь я знаю что это такое), и в итоге ускорение почти в четыре с половиной раза. И да, совы оказались совсем не тем, чем казались. Читать... Read more

Жрать или втирать в себя стволовые клетки — это развод?

Жила-была в Швейцарии яблоня. Сорт назывался Uttwiler Spätlauber — кислый, твёрдый, есть его свежим почти невозможно, лицо сводит. Аналог нашей коломенской косорыловки. Зато была у этих яблок одна особенность: их можно было снять с ветки, бросить в погреб и забыть на несколько месяцев. Соседние сорта за это время сморщивались и сгнивали, а Uttwiler Spätlauber лежал себе целёхонький. Крестьяне держали такие яблоки на чёрный день — до весны, когда свежей еды... Read more
