Write, shorten. (Category Writing)
Write, shorten. (Rubric Writing ) I often hear the book "Write, Cut" mentioned in a positive context, but it was very difficult for me to read it for six months:) From that time, I read the first half of the book in a day and realized I didn't like it. I do not like the total simplification of the language and the ultimatum presentation of info style as the best tool for information communications. With these thoughts, I put the book aside.

Convince and win. (Category PublicSpeaking)
Convince and win. (Rubric PublicSpeaking ) There are books that you should read thoughtfully, blackening your thoughts with a pen in a notebook lying next to you. There are books that are designed to be read almost on the run. And there are books that are cool to read when there's nothing else to do, like on a plane.

Critical Thinking is a book that will improve your thinking. One year ago, I was at a garage sale at Alpine. There was music playing, on the stage were the authors of books, and of course on all the horizontal surfaces were books, whole scattering of books. I picked up a whole stack so that I could hardly hold it in my hands, holding my chin.

The Hero with a Thousand Faces (A thousand-faced hero) (Category PublicSpeaking)
The Hero with a Thousand Faces (A thousand-faced hero) (Rubric PublicSpeaking ) Thursday and Friday were all about teaching public speaking, the final module of our MBA program. It was interesting and informative, and I think at the next conference my speech will be a little better than before. One of the interesting things we looked at was the dramatic approach with the Pixar algorithm. Step. 1. Once upon a time there was a hero (purposely) … Step. 2. Every day he... Step. 3. But one day... Step. 4. And so... Step. 5. When, after all, ... Step. 6.

As a child, I loved to read, as I do now. My parents had many books, many of which I read. And one day I came across a book by Howard Lovecraft, and that's how I realized that horror wasn't my thing. After, 25 I was given a board game called Arkham Horrors, and I remembered Lovecraft and became interested in him as a person. A year ago, I bought his biography in The Writer in the Night. From this book I learned that the life of the author of classic horror stories about Cthulhu and others was not too happy.

About a year ago, I read a book called Superproductive by Michael Alistair. I wouldn’t actually read a book with that title, but...myth books rarely disappoint me.

I read a book this week called The Economist Walks Into a Brothel, and I want to talk about it. Despite the title of the book, similar to the beginning of an anecdote, Allison Schrager talks about important things related to risk. The presentation of the author reminds me of the approaches of economists from Frikonomics, but here the topic is a little narrower and related to risk management in everyday life.

Over the weekend, I read an interesting book on leadership, Executive presence, by Sylvia Ann Hewlett. However, in Russian "Executive Presence" was translated as the image of the leader, which does not seem to fully convey the idea of the author:) I decided to read the book after the leadership module. This module was in our MBA program, which I talked about earlier. The book “Executive presence” seemed to me understandable and useful, so I decided to write a brief review of it.

I returned to this book after reflecting on what I learned from the ten-month MBA program I am graduating with this week.

A couple of years ago, I spoke online at the Google Developer Group Party with a retrospective talk, "The Web World in the Mobile First Era." The main idea was that the mobile first approach has long been accepted in product development, which leads to the release of mobile applications with basic functionality, and the web is used to attract new customers. Despite this, the number of open jobs for frontend developers is constantly growing.

Today I finished the last article in the series with a review of the book Learning DDD. This article discusses how to work with analytical data, what is dwh and data lake, what is data mesh. And why data mesh is so close to DDD. Interestingly, the concepts of DWH and data mesh I talked about a year ago in a lecture about data from the course Essential Architecture, but then I did not consider them through the prism of DDD. In any case, the picture from that article may well act as a title in this:) https://bit.ly/DDDAndDataMesh

Yesterday I spoke at dotNext with a talk "How and where to develop if you are already a Senior Software Engineer". The idea of the report came from the fact that training issues are devoted a lot of time, but the main focus is on those who still want to enter IT. In my talk, I talked about how to continue to develop if you are already Senior. What career paths there are, how easy it is to go along them and the main thing is how to maintain motivation for self-development. I talked about the approach I’ve developed for myself and why I think it works.

We have an institute of professional leaders and we have a team leader profession. As part of this profession, its leader asked managers at various levels to share a message as if it were your earlier version - conditionally, so that you would tell yourself if you could return to the moment when you were faced with the choice to go to the team or not. I reflexed and wrote this message to myself young: Sasha, if you're planning on being a good teammate and staying a cool techie, I have bad news - it's damn hard to combine.
