There’s so much to be done and so little time left. That’s how I spend holiday these days, at least that’s how it’s been planned this year. Learning from my parents’ home seems to be working for me by far better than sitting in London, at home. There are just too many distractions and I […]
Typically if you look at any of my past businesses, you’d quickly notice how much the project they run rely on innovation. Whether technical or market innovation, we’ve been first on the market. Firstly with Finance Manager (pl: Menedżer Finansów), launched in 1999, well ahead of avalanche of other desktop personal finance management applications. Secondly […]
It’s amazing how complex things can get once you’re trying to figure out a working pattern that would satisfy a team of several developers and keep your boat afloat at the same time. It’s a wrong jungle type of problem, where management are trying to keep everything under tight control, living in illusionary world in […]
As a one-person show, that might prove to be especially difficult. More than one-third of sole proprietors said that their biggest challenge is finding the time and resources to generate new business, according to a recent survey conducted by Visa USA and SCORE, a nonprofit group that counsels entrepreneurs.

Getting things done sometimes means asking, nagging and pushing things with absolute determination. I can see quite easily when I’m reaching the point at which there’s no way to move for an individual apart of misleading or keeping pretending that he’s either/or competent or willing to do her/his job. Not later than few days ago […]
If you do stand behind your product you do keep an eye on your competitors. Competitors can inspire, can motivate but also can dissapoint. For the last week or so I’ve been using Wunderlist (for Windows and for the web) just to discover that I’ve already overloaded it with work. The priorities seem to be […]
If you look at typical software development effort there are two streams that can be distinguished over a longer peroid of product lifecycle. 1. Cleaning – this means typically bugfixing, but I also put here stabilising the system, harmonising its functionality and user experience but also fine tuning services even if they are not broken […]
I think that what we’ve failed to understand is that the risk management itself is the greatest risk.
