When I set up this blog I knew it will be a strange mixture of random thoughts from my personal and professional life. I had to decide if to write it under my name, anonymously, and even if to split it into “personal” and “work-related”. I still remember, when my man P-Diddy asked me “WhatContinue reading “Authentic hire”

The third conditional
If I studied harder, I would have known the grammar of the third conditional. I always struggled with English grammar. Especially, I could never learn that darn third conditional. I always learned it for an exam and then forgot it immediately. It was a big deal though because I’ve heard third conditional in Czech almostContinue reading “The third conditional”
Agile vs waterfall
Oh, the endless war. While principles of both methods can be explained within a paragraph, we see an amazing amount of £2000 courses, which will tell to you that user stories have to be only one user story size big and never bigger. It’s a blasphemy otherwise. “ACKCHYUALLY, user stories are in SCRUM and SCRUMContinue reading “Agile vs waterfall”
Learning progression
“Do you want a job at Google, Amazon, or Facebook? Sign up for these courses to learn to code/data science/cloud etc.” Or whatever these ads say. I’m not going to complain about it. It’s great we have a lot of resources and great resources to learn to code or learn other aspects of software development.Continue reading “Learning progression”
Happiness? Who said so?
“I wish I would have spent more time with my family.” says an ex-CEO and a board member of few companies. “I believe happiness comes from those small moments.”. No, you don’t. Why, when there is a conversation about happiness we take someone who had success in a business and listen to them talk aboutContinue reading “Happiness? Who said so?”
Do you listen to people or legal entities?
Have you ever wondered that a lot of content related to your day to day life and longevity is created and published by companies rather than individuals? Naturally, there is a lot of places where you want it to be the case! Hospitals, research centres etc. However, you’ll see content on “How to live yourContinue reading “Do you listen to people or legal entities?”
The trouble with too much information
TL;DR; Take everything with a pinch of salt. We live in the information era. Not that it would be any news. The trouble is that there is quite a lot of good information. However, it’s balanced out with a truckload of poop. Hence you can find endless information about anything you can think of andContinue reading “The trouble with too much information”
Why “just above average”
Lately, I’ve been wondering what I would want my life to look like. Especially in the long term. Two, three years ago I would have no idea if someone would ask me “How do you want your life to look like in 5 years?”. Now, fairly intuitively, I can group it into three points inContinue reading “Why “just above average””
How long will I live?
Give or take 80 years. Hopefully. By the time I was 15 we’ve learned to walk, talk and a bit about our world and relationships. It seemed like a long time, but I have around four times more ahead. By the time I finished university I thought I knew a lot and yet I’ve hadContinue reading “How long will I live?”
Why even try?
Knowing that I’ve always been really terrible at writing was stopping me from starting a blog to share some random thoughts for years. I’ve started few blogs over last few year, although I never wrote anything. I always really liked setting up different WordPress themes following with sheer disappointment and frustration “WHY DOESN’T IT LOOKContinue reading “Why even try?”
