Депеши, карточки и паранойя: мой опыт скрещивания Waterfall и Agile в проекте для РЖД. Часть первая

Пять лет назад завершилась моя работа в одном из самых амбициозных, но не завершившихся IT-проектов в истории пассажирских перевозок. Проект для РЖД, который по масштабу и связности экосистемы должен был встать в один ряд со Сбером и обогнать всё, что существовало у мировых перевозчиков. Его убила не кривая архитектура, а пандемия и тектонические сдвиги подковерной борьбы.Более 15 лет в b2b-разработке приучили меня держать подобные кейсы за контуром публичности. Но сегодня...

Куда расти синьору в игродеве

Хорошие программисты редко также хорошо управляют большими командами, люди, спроектировавшие крупнейшие онлайн-миры, обычно неизвестны никому за пределами профильных конференций, а самые крупные игровые студии построили люди, которые и в игры то не играли. Если вам кажется, что эти три факта между собой не связаны, дочитайте до конца, потому что связаны, и ещё как.

The Space-Based Data Center Hype Machine Is Already In Orbit

IEEE Spectrum argues that orbital data centers remain far from economically or technically practical despite Elon Musk's prediction that space will become the cheapest place to run AI within a few years. Deploying SpaceX's proposed million-satellite constellation would require enormous increases in launch and manufacturing capacity, while cooling, radiation, maintenance, latency, orbital debris, and astronomical interference present major unresolved obstacles.
