What came up today in the No Kill Switch archive post lottery? no-kill-switch.ghost.io/what-ive-lea... An interesting tidbit – a post from 2020 in which I compiled the top 6 lessons on career development, based on my own experiences (of course).

[Book Review] 3 of 5 stars to Facilitating Software Architecture by Andrew Harmel-Law www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

"Every problem is a leadership problem." Truth or not? Your thoughts? (hint: blog post incoming, not the next one but the one after that)

Here's my "Year in Books" list in 2025: www.goodreads.com/user/year_in... You may find it useful because I: - review every book I read - typically read the highly anticipated books as soon as they are published

[Book Review] 2 of 5 stars to Wind and Truth: Part 2 by Brandon Sanderson www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

If you have a few days off before the NY's Eve, what better way to spend your time than ... another #boardgame ;) This one is really demanding (time-wise also) - you have been warned ...

[No Kill Switch 803] Why developers aren't like figure skaters? no-kill-switch.ghost.io/why-develope... #nokillswitch

How about YET ANOTHER badass #boardgame recommendation before the end of the year? Wonderful art, asymmetry, a lot of ruse and other negative interaction - do I have to say more? :)

It's funny how the environmental bubble you live within affects your perception. You may end up being completely fixated on stuff the community doesn't care ... while entirely ignoring typical problems that absorb the attention of orgs around you.

This is NUTS. The latest game by Go On Board - The Witcher: Legacy at the final stretch of its crowdfunding campaign has went through the roof. At the moment they've managed to attract >8.3M euros and it's NOT over yet. Big congratz! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

It's a new #boardgame season (TBH just a beginning of it ...) - how about a duel tactical game with a lot of asymmetry?

Much water has flowed under the bridge since I annoyed you with some new board game - it's time to start catching up ;P I'll start with "Blighted Reach" - actually, it's not a game, but the expansion to Arcs by one of my fav studios: Leder Games. #boardgames #scifi

I used to write some articles on the idea of "seniority" and what we (engineers) are truly paid for, here's one of them (from 2020): no-kill-switch.ghost.io/the-dictate-...

What so hard about scaling organizations that it has never been "industrialized" properly, in a replicable manner. I've written several articles on that (of course on No Kill Switch), but if I had to recommend just one, it'd be this one (from 2019): no-kill-switch.ghost.io/why-scaling-...

When I was writing that blog post in 2018, I was certain that the next generation of software engineers will make it rather obsolete quite soon. Apparently, I was very wrong. Link: no-kill-switch.ghost.io/were-all-sal...

>2.2M euro in the first (!) day of the crowdfunding campaign, this is wicked sick. Gratz Go On Board team! The only drawback - it's expected mid-2027 ;/ #boardgame #crowdfunding #witcher gamefound.com/en/projects/...

What particular words/figures of speech trigger you most in 1:1 conversations? In my case it's probably "Believe me ..." - how about providing arguments instead of asking me to obey?
