    curling

    curling I played curling twice in my life:) Once at a friend's birthday party ten years ago, and the second time - right before the new year with my colleagues, when we had a New Year's meeting of IT executives.

    Time travel. History (Time Travel. A History)

    Time travel. History (Time Travel. A History) This book by James Glick tells the story of the development of the concept of time and travel through it. It begins with Herbert our Wells with his machine going through the paradoxes of time travel and ending with our present as we live here and now in a virtual space where "a river of information forms a 'ribbon' or 'timeline' ... but the sequence of messages on this scale is arbitrary." Their chronological order can hardly be trusted. The past, the present, the future go round and round.

    Review of Who: Solve Your Book 1 Problem” (Who. Solve your number one problem.)

    Review of Who: Solve Your Book 1 Problem” (Who. Solve your number one problem.) A couple of days ago, I already did. wrote It's about the book "Who," about hiring people, written by consultants Jeff Smart and Randy Street. I was curious to read it because I’ve done a lot over the last three years. 500 interview. And it will be useful for you, since many of us are involved in hiring processes, sometimes from the hiring side, and sometimes as candidates. The hiring process is not always structured enough to produce predictable results.

    How to Hire Technical Managers

    How to Hire Technical Managers At the end of February, I I'll play at Teamlead Conf. That's the subject of the report. The bottom line is that hiring engineers is often discussed at conferences. Some talk about how they hire in one meeting, while others talk about their multi-stage interviews. Here is the hiring of technical managers. (teamlead, engineering manager, director of engineering) They talk much less often. In this talk, I will try to correct this injustice and share a story about what it looks like at Tinkoff.
