«Чёрный ящик» техподдержки: как мы делаем сервис прозрачным для клиентов

Представьте: ночью у клиента случается критический сбой сервера. Инженер уже занимается инцидентом, но клиент об этом не знает. Он видит только молчание системы и пустой экран портала. Через час начинаются тревожные звонки, еще через час - письма руководству. К утру проблема решена, но доверие к сервисному партнёру уже под вопросом. Это не история про плохих инженеров. Это история про «чёрный ящик»: пока всё работает, поддержка почти незаметна. Но если процессы... Read more

People who still write things down by hand aren’t being nostalgic — they’re using a form of cognitive processing that studies suggest may strengthen memory

The people reaching for a pen over a keyboard are often written off as sentimental, clinging to a slower tool out of habit. Yet the more interesting explanation has nothing to do with feeling. When a hand moves a pen across paper, the brain appears to do something distinct from what it does at a ... Read more Read more

How soccer players train for chaos

Soccer might be one of the hardest sports to train for. Players need endurance to run for 90 minutes, with only one 15-minute break. And in the World Cup knockout rounds, if there is a tie, match time could extend to 120 minutes. Over the course of a game, the average player runs between six […] Read more

Я ускорял исследования с помощью ИИ — а оказалось, дело вообще не в скорости

Мы запустили для пользователей новую механику. Они начали её пробовать, но пропадали на этапе активации. Метрика, ради которой всё затевалось, не сдвинулась.Чтобы понять почему, мы пошли в исследование — с плотной обвязкой из ИИ. И по ходу вскрылась неочевидная вещь: ускорение — вообще не главное, что ИИ здесь даёт. Читать далее Read more

Angular против React: зарплаты, кризис в IT и почему корпорации остаются на Angular

Angular часто воспринимают как тяжёлый корпоративный фреймворк «из прошлого»: сложный вход, много правил, меньше хайпа, чем у React. Но за последние годы фреймворк заметно изменился: появились сигналы, обновился SSR, стало проще начинать, а экосистема перестала быть закрытым «котлом» только для энтерпрайза.Я, Александр, автор телеграм-канала «Shulepov Code», поговорил с Олегом Щёголевым — frontend-разработчиком, преподавателем, ментором и специалистом по Angular автором Telegram-канала «SUMMON_THE_CODER».   Read more

GTA 6 developers at Rockstar Games pushing to pursue official union recognition following 2025 sackings: "The union is now stronger than ever"

Grand Theft Auto 6 has finally locked its 19th November release date and pre-orders are now open. It should be cause for celebration, but with the lack of a proper physical release and after the firing of employees last year (a move considered to be "union-busting" by former and current staff), Rockstar Games is getting as much bad attention as it is good. Now, the workers union coming together at... Read more
