Před lety jsem používal mail na centrum.cz, později když mi tam chodilo více spamu než normáních mailů, jsem přešel na seznam.cz. Před několika lety jsem zkusil gmail. Nějakou dobu jsem ho používal souběžně se seznamem, ale ten jsem nedávno v podstatě opustil. Důvod je skoro stejný jako v případě centrumu: spam a bulvár. Nefunkční “Smazat …

Asshole Driven Development
I’ve recently stumbled upon a book called “Say no to assholes” (Link to blog post in Czech) and it immediately reminded me of my past job. I don’t want to slander anyone, I just want to share it as a warning and encouragement. I worked there for about a year, which is enough time to know how Asshole …
Courage and personal growth
Motto: What prevents you from success is your fear of failure If you are afraid that you will fail than you are very likely to give up. You might be given great opportunity, but you don’t take it because you are afraid that you might fail. What is worse? To try something new, possibly fail …
The value of beautiful code
During my rather short period of Pair Programming I have learned something valuable, but there is also something I’ve learned after that. Michal Tehnik left the company and I continued to work on code we wrote and then refactored and polished together several times. It is probably the best piece of code we have now …

Včelí medvídci a (ne)vyměnitelné baterky
Baterky ve Včelích medvídcích oficiálně nejdou vyměnit. Výrobce (prý z bezpečnostních důvodů) baterii zašil dovnitř do hračky. Nám baterie vydrželi zhruba půl roku, pak začal čmelda zkuhrat hlady 🙂 Sice se ještě snažil zpívat, ale znělo to skoro strašidelně 🙂 Naštěstí se dá na zádech rozpárat a baterie vyměnit. V jednom místě je na zádech …
On pair programming
Several times I programmed in pair and I want to share my experience with it. What are the main benefits of pair programming? The code is of better quality, because there is always the other person watching over your shoulder and seeing what you have overlooked. Wikipedia says that defect rates are about 15% to …
Why to write a blog
This is rather a quotation than a regular blog post. It is a paragraph from book Getting Real by 37Signals. I could not say it better. Hire good writers If you are trying to decide between a few people to fill a position, always hire the better writer. It doesn’t matter if that person is …
Inspiration from books
Recently I started to read a lot (thanks to Kindle text-to-speech feature) and I can see how books are broadening my mind. There is a lot of inspiration in (good) books, ideas and concepts you would not otherwise think about. I want to share some of these great books. They are: Rich Dad, Poor Dad …
