Few Words To Headhunters
Submitted by Tomek Kaczanowski on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 13:02Seems like having my CV online and my profiles on LinkedIn and
Goldenline up-to-date makes ma a popular person among IT headhunters.
Great, this is exactly as I wanted it to be. But this is not what I
wanted to write about. Dear Headhunters, you contact me a lot, so let
me give you some feedback on your actions.
In general, you people are really tactful and it is a pleasure to talk with. Really. But there are few things that makes me mad. And this post is about them.
Taking Over a Project
Submitted by Tomek Kaczanowski on Mon, 07/04/2011 - 23:02So I'm taking over a new project as a technical team lead. This team has been working for some time (for a long time). Now my task is to lead its further development. I'm excited and worried at the same time.
I spent some time wondering about what should I know about this new project and about the team. Here is the list of topics that I think I should gather some information about. Maybe someone else will find them useful. I also hope for someone giving me hints about things that I forgot.

I tell you, it can't be done!
Submitted by Tomek Kaczanowski on Mon, 03/28/2011 - 11:31The progress of computers and software has taught us, that there are not many things that can not be done. Linux, Google, Facebook, cloud computing, open source etc. has shocked us with solutions we hadn't even dreamed about. Still, I often hear (and use myself) this phrase: "it can't be done". This post is about trying to understand what is really hidden behind these words.

Visualization Of Dependent Test Methods
Submitted by Tomek Kaczanowski on Mon, 02/14/2011 - 12:26One day I started to experiment with visualization of test dependencies. I thought that maybe Graphviz can help to provide some nice diagrams that would help me see instantly what went wrong, and why some tests are skipped. In this post I present my achievements so far.
This used to be my blog. I moved to http://tomek.kaczanowscy.pl long time ago.
