Когда команда небольшая и все сидят в одном открытом пространстве, знания передаются почти сами собой — через разговор у кофемашины, ревью кода, общий чат. Пока команда маленькая, это терпимо, но как только появляется рост, удалёнка, параллельные проекты и новые сотрудники, хаос начинает стоить больших денег. Именно в этой точке большинство IT-компаний впервые задумываются о том, что «база знаний» — это не просто папка в Google Drive, а самостоятельная инфраструктурная задача.Мы... Read more ›

Поэтому злоумышленники постоянно ищут способы, как запрятать их еще глубже. Читать далее Read more ›
