I’m broken, you hear me? I’m tired of acting like I’m fine when every single day feels like I’m drowning inside my own damn mind.I wake up every morning trying to convince myself it’ll get better, but it never does.I’m exhausted, I’m tired, and I hold it all in. Trying to be strong for everybody […]
Some companies promote project managers into director roles and then act surprised when the business starts slowing down. Execution is not leadership. Keeping meetings organized is not leadership. Updating status reports is not leadership. A project manager is trained to protect process. A director is expected to protect the business. Those are completely different skill […]
When you passionate employees go quiet, it is a sign that the culture has become toxic, and that the leaders have stopped caring about their people. People rarely become silent overnight. At first, they contribute ideas.They try to improve processes.They raise concerns, because they genuinely care. But when effort is ignored repeatedly, silence slowly replaces […]
This is McNamara fallacy. Named after Robert McNamara, US Secretary of Defence during the Vietnam War. His strategy was simple: measure everything. Enemy body counts, bombing tonnage, territory controlled. The numbers looked incredible. America was winning by every measurable metric.

Най-добрите майстори са “бавните” майстори. През годините в софтуерната индустрия разбрах едно нещо – не можеш да форсираш креативност. Добрите архитектури и решения не се създават под напрежение. Хората измислят добри неща, когато отделят време да рефлектират върху събитията, които са преживели. Опитвайки се да изцедиш последната капка продуктивност, забатачваш всичко на много нива – […]
Automation and manual testing in QA are just two approaches(methodologies) we use to do our work and verify the quality of a product. Real QA is more than that. It also includes writing documentation, joining calls, communicating with clients and developers, understanding the business needs, and asking the right questions. I still firmly believe that […]
А CTO asked: “Why is everyone obsessed on early QA? A bug is a bug… We’ll fix it anyway.” Same bug. Same root cause. Completely different outcomes. This is where bugs stop being “technical issues” and become “business risks”.And this is why mature product teams don’t ask: “Do we need QA?”They ask: “How early can […]

This is why sometimes entrepreneurs can make decisions that don’t make sense:
