That’s why a good customer for a software outsourcing company them is a paying customer. Not a customer with a successful project. Not a customer with a properly solved problem. Not a customer with optimized costs. Not a customer with the best possible technology utilized. Not at all. The best customer is the one that pays, pays a lot, and pays on time. Period. — Why Software Outsourcing Doesn't Work ... Anymore (2015)

I just published a new blog post, about ChatGPT and its negative effect on the process of education of students: Defend Me Against ChatGPT.

Dear reader of my Telegram channel,

I'm very thankful to you, for being with me this year. Your "likes" and comments are the primary motivator for me, especially when they are negative... not. Thanks to you, my online presence was increased this year: +420 followers on GitHub (+11%), +4833 subscribers on YouTube (+28%), +260 on Telegram (+6%), also a little bit on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, but I don't care about them as much.

A quick summary of my contribution in 2023: 6500+ GitHub commits/issues/pull requests, three research papers , 50 lectures in two Universities, a few interviews, 11 new open source products released, 17 technical blog posts, ICCQ'23 conference, four patents, four political articles, and one film.

A quick summary of my failures in 2023: Elegant Objects Vol.3 is not yet published, Code Ahead Vol.2 is not yet written, PhD thesis is not yet finished. I'm committed to complete them all in 2024.

I rely on your help in 2024: stay subscribed, no matter how bad is my content, and encourage your friends to subscribe — to my GitHub, YouTube, and Telegram!

Happy New Year!

"No matter how large the difference in skills between regular programmers and 10x programmers in the same project, they will get almost the same, or very similar, compensation. In order to get more, a programmer has to change location, company, or both. It seems very wrong!"
