volne dostupna knizka. povazujem knizku za prinosnu pre tych ktoria komunikuju so zakaznikmi (tech support). Dealing With Disrespect is a short, simple to read, free book that provides a straight-forward guide for handling this kind of challenging feedback, picking out the legitimate criticism to learn from, and how to not just ignore the haters, but how to manage them. The book helps put all communication, whether on or offline, into perspective and helps you to become a better communicator yourself.

personally think that developers shouldn't care about code beauty, because that's not their job. Instead, they should focus on creating great products, which is infinitely more satisfying. Code Fashion What defines beauty in code? Just like for clothes, opinions on the subject may vary. Each year, we find new trend-setters, like Jeff Atwood, Martin Fowler, or Eric Evans. They offer convincing arguments to explain why pattern A is better than pattern B. Until someone else publishes a book, explaining that pattern C is much, much better

the spirit of modern society is one of intense equality, which is a torture in terms of envy, for when egalitarian ambitions circulate in societies that tell themselves that anyone can do anything, the experience of envy goes into over-drive. We don't envy everyone, we do so only when we think their advantages are within our reach. So when almost everything feels like it could be ours (but a lot never can be), the opportunities for envy grow dangerously large.

je to zoznam "odporucani do zivota" (patterns) pre vyvojarov ktory sa chcu zlepsovat. je to povodne urcene najma pre zacinajucich programatorov, ale pride mi to nadcasove a je tasm vela napadov a odporucani na celu "programatorsku" karieru. odporucam kazdemu kto programuje, knizka ma dobru granularitu a cita sa lahko.

kazdy mesiac tam odporucia knizku a potom o nej diskutuju. vhodne pre tych ktori zaroven robia vyvoj, testovanie a deployment (tzv. "devops", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps).

the last three versions of the program -- each 420,000 lines long-had just one error each. The last 11 versions of this software had a total of 17 errors. Commercial programs of equivalent complexity would have 5,000 errors. Take the upgrade of the software to permit the shuttle to navigate with Global Positioning Satellites, a change that involves just 1.5% of the program, or 6,366 lines of code. The specs for that one change run 2,500 pages, a volume thicker than a phone book. The specs for the current program fill 30 volumes and run 40,000 pages.

quality happens only if somebody has the responsibility for it, and that "somebody" can be no more than one single person. anyone who has ever wondered whether using m4 macros to configure autoconf to write a shell script to look for 26 Fortran compilers in order to build a Web browser was a bit of a detour, Brooks offers well-reasoned hope that there can be a better way.
