Business vs Technology Founders: Why Balance is Key
From life experience in general I grow more & more to believe that balance is key. Similarly when it comes to software development a proper balance of business vs technology founders is important. I’d say it’s among the most critical indicators of whether the whole enterprise will be successful or will get derailed eventually. Let’s…
Node.js: is frontend or backend?
I’ve recently noticed a bit of popularity of the question from the subject – “Node.js: is frontend or backend?”. That made me think about what is obvious for someone may be not that obvious for someone else. The question is probably coming from people beginning their journey in computer science (CS) space. And most of…
Micro frontend: what & why
Micro frontend architecture approach is the answer to challenges which in their nature are similar to what microservices architecture solves on the backend. I covered microservice implementation principles and decision framework on choosing such approach previously. Let’s cover what this approach is all about. What is micro frontend architecture When company technology landscape is a…

The journey of the runtime wasn’t a smooth ride at all but as of today the major component of its semantic versioning hit 18. The revolutionary premise of Node.js was “server-side JavaScript” because since…
Что будет если Солнце погаснет?

Заодно вспомнил термодинамику и почему мгновенно замерзающие в космосе несчастные – чушь собачья, хоть и драматичная. Но обо всем по порядку.
