The videos from the last Object Thinking meetup are already available on YouTube. DI Containers vs Objects by Sergey Kapralov and How to Inject Less by me. They both are in Russian. English subtitles are coming soon.

My talk about interviewing programmers has been accepted at TeamLeadConf in Moscow this February. I will summary my experience and suggest what we usually do wrong when trying to understand which programmer deserves to be hired. If you want to attend and need a ticket with a discount, text me.

I just published a new post on my blog: Talented Programmers, Who Are They?

Новая новогодняя политическая статья, впервые о глобальных заговорах: Кому мешает наш тестостерон

Just finished watching the first episode of Broadchurch (2013-2017). Perfect acting, catchy plot, no annoying political angles, and nothing to learn. Just watch to spend time.

There is a new Sunday Twitter poll for you. I'm interested to know what is your take on your talents in coding. Please, vote and then read this blog post of mind: Talented Programmers, Who Are They?

If you are a PhD student, a university professor, or anyhow else are connected to an academic organization in Russia, I may have work and money for you to do a research in the area of code quality analysis. Text me, we will discuss.

There is a new post on my blog: Embrace the Chaos!

Напоминаю, политику по-русски мы обсуждаем здесь: @szdne

“Huawei is not ambitious. We don’t want to dominate the world. We only want to work with our partners to build the information society. If Huawei were ambitious, we would have already dominated the most profitable markets.” — this is thousands of years of Chinese war philosophy speaking itself.

"Don’t wait until you get the title to push for change, start now even if you’re a junior developer" — a remake of my blog post, published this time at CACM Blogs: Evolution Through Revolution: Getting Your Team to Embrace Change.

A new post on my blog: One Question You Should Never Ask Your Boss

A new Sunday Twitter poll for you. The result of this poll will illustrate this blog post: Either Bugs or Pull Requests ... or You Are Out (vote before reading)

Check this out: www.codexia.org. It's a new project I'm busy with. I need a few people to help me do a research of the open source market, analyze projects, and find most interesting trends and figures. It's a fully remote work, will take a few hours of your time per week. Well paid. Text me to @yegor256.

Напоминаю, что на следующей неделе будет митап Object Thinking на улице Мясницкая, в Москве. Как и в прошлый раз, вкусный ужин, напитки, и задушевная беседа об объектно-ориентированном программировании гаратнирована. Вход бесплатный, но нужно успеть зарегистрироваться, количество мест ограничено.

This is only for those who speak Russian and live in Moscow, sorry.

If you are an ambitious and talented Java developer, living in Moscow (or willing to relocate here), I have a full-time offer for you. Text me: @yegor256.

I just released a face-lift update to ThreeCopies, a pet project of mine, which helps me backup all my data sources (databases, S3 buckets, server files, cloud resources) though a collection of simple bash scripts. You can use it too, it's free when you start. If you like it, you pay $0.01 per hour of server time.

If you like love Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) as much as I do, you most certainly should try Takes: Java web framework without a single public static method, a single annotation, a single NULL reference, a single mutable class, and many other things elegant OOP doesn't tolerate. Also, the GitHub repository has got 599 stars at the moment. You may add yours, to make the number look more even :)

My recent blog post hit the front page of Hacker News a few hours ago and then got "flagged" for being toxic, as some commenters suggested. Is it really toxic, WDYT?
