• As you probably know, my view on management is rather classic – nothing very far from whatever you can find in a respected canon. I’m against micromanagement, but I try to care about details which are important for people. I try hard to be honest with the team and praise them when they deserved. I […]

Despite the last word belongs to the leader, the team […]

  • One of projects I’m contributing to is a micro-ISV service. Maybe it’s not the perfect example of micro-ISV, because at least several people are engaged.
