Poland is one of the quickest developing economies in European Union, however, it remains trapped in productivity gap of low automation. As pools of low skilled, cheap employees will deplete in the coming decades, Poland needs to invest in cheap robotics to bridge the gap. This however will become more and more difficult, as Poland sports one of the highest electricty prices in Europe.

We are missing the context of the impact on the long-term development of company culture. In the long term, you must focus on several areas to ensure that your company relies on process and internal knowledge, not particular team members. You have to fight with knowledge silos, encouraging exchanging knowledge between projects, and finding the right time to do that between project working hours isn't a simple thing. Remote work can cause anxiety and make people lack a sense of belonging to the company. Face-to-face interactions have a significant impact on teamwork. They can make it easier to read feelings when you are with someone in a meeting, more accessible than when speaking to them on a phone or video call. This is a significant difference in building trust and a sense of belonging among employees.

“We have a saying in Poland: ‘A man learns his entire life, yet dies still unknowing.’ The IT industry is constantly evolving, and so are the demands that come with it. Every project is unique and often requires us to learn something new. Despite this, I rarely see teams actively working together to enhance their knowledge and skillsets. More often than not, we spend our personal time, in the evenings, learning on our own instead of integrating this into our team’s or company’s practices. Now, imagine spending time with your colleagues—pair programming with new technologies or discussing the latest trends together. Sounds great, right? So, what’s stopping you? 👉 If you’re a developer: 🟦 Ask your manager for dedicated learning time (related to your field of work, of course) for the team. This won’t be wasted time for the company. It will boost the team’s knowledge, strengthen trust in the company, and enhance team cohesion. 👉 If you’re a manager: 🟦 Organize learning sessions for your team—but don’t force it. The team needs to feel motivated, not pressured! #ITConsulting #StartupTech #TeamEfficiency #TechArchitecture #TechnicalDebt #SoftwareDevelopment #TeamManagement

I am proud and grateful to be a contributor to one article - I am deeply grateful to Judit Firniksz PhD, LL.M, Dorottya Velegi and Levente Nagymihály me to make a minor contribution to such a super important cause. Digital accessibility and accessible webdesign is a topic close to my heart. The topic's importance is increasing due to the EU's new Accessibility Act coming into force on 28 June 2025 - but it is not the only reason we should take it into consideration. Real equality is impossible without accessibility - and the whole society can benefit from it. As the article explains, even antitrust and consumer protection compliance efficiency gains can be achieved by following accessibility requirements. #Accessibility #Webdesign #Compliance #Antitrust #UCP

With Vitali Svishchev, we are currently looking for skilled .NET engineers to join our teams in Vention Warsaw. Besides technical requirements, what is important in this role? And what does Vitali's team have to offer? We spoke a bit on this topic.   👉 What are the characteristics of your ideal candidate in terms of soft skills? What fits your group and team best?   "What's important to me is the candidate's open and proactive mindset. I'm proud of developers and engineers who are building their career paths and improving their skills, and it's even better when such a person is thinking about involving at the company level. It's important to engage in the company's technical activities to gain extra knowledge and share experience with others. Like in life, it's crucial not only to receive but also to give something to others. People with a social mindset are highly appreciated."   👉 As a manager, what could you offer this person, and what does your group have to offer?   "In our department, we're improving the expertise of our engineers in different spheres. We provide an atmosphere of collaboration where one developer can help another. We support personal improvement plans with technical and non-technical aspects, including advice, sharing experiences, certifications, and book recommendations. We also offer opportunities to broaden technology stacks and get closer to the business side, such as involvement in pre-sales or client calls. This helps developers who want to grow into architect or solution architect positions."   👉 What's specifically cool about us at the company level?   "If you want to build your career, are interested in growing your skills, and take on more responsibilities, it's always possible here. Also, our employees are really open to helping others and sharing their expertise. We're not bound to any specific structure, so you can reach out to someone from another country and just have a person-to-person conversation. If a person is open to communication, they'll easily find support and others with the same interest in technology."   Sounds encouraging!

"No Layoffs Despite Factory Fire: Aksam (Beskidzkie + Soleo) Ensures Job Security and Full Salaries" A recent fire destroyed a factory producing "Paluszki Beskidzkie" in Malec, resulting in the collapse of one production hall and partial damage to another. Despite this, the factory's owner, Aksam, assured employees that there would be no layoffs, and full salaries would be maintained. A rotational work system will be implemented, with production expected to resume to 65% capacity within a month. The company prioritizes employee welfare, ensuring job security and full pay despite reduced work hours. This commitment to job security and worker welfare, even in challenging times, is commendable and a true testament to responsible business practices. It’s inspiring to see such a strong emphasis on taking care of their team. #Leadership #EmployeeWelfare #BusinessResilience #KupujeBeskidzkiezSezamem #ResponsibleBusinessPractice

Another expert in the DevOpsDays Warsaw team is Andrzej Grzesik. ags loves distributed systems in all shapes and forms. He has written software in many languages and continuously finds JVM his favourite platform. He believes „most software problems are people problems”, so he stirs communities (Polish JUG), organizes and speaks at conferences (proud to be a JavaOne Rockstar!).

I’d like to recommend you a short book about Poland on war (as the title says) written by 𝐙𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐳, exactly 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘴𝘬𝘢 𝘯𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘫𝘯𝘪𝘦. I consider Zbigniew, as definitely a better talker (even brilliant one), than writer (e.g. 𝘗𝘳𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘯𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘦 𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘢 was written rather clumsily), but here you won’t be disappointed, trust me. Author takes on a breath-taking journey from before 24’Feb 2022 up to around mid-2023, showing how the Polish state, politicians and military officers reacted around this time in reaction to Russian invasion on Ukraine – all based on actual discussions and true statements coming from Polish and Ukrainian side. We can see how the Poland as a whole behaved admirably in the beginning and, unfortunately, lost track in subsequent months with the final breakdown in 2023, when Zelensky compared us to Russian allies and started to treat us as the lowest of the low (which is something I cannot understand till today). Zbigniew points our lack of long term strategy in Polish-Ukrainian relationships as well as missing systematic solutions, right people in right roles and courage in actions. From the business side, one can see the value and appreciate such things like: systematic thinking, when you think more about how to make things being solved by the people around, not to how to solve this particular case; institutional memory, when the knowledge is spread around the people, processes and just habits; and lean and agility, when the crisis does not allow to work in a standard, slow-mode. This is a very good book, don’t hesitate to reach for this position.

Soon, on May 8th, we're gathering at WarsawJS Meetup #114, which will take place at the Packhelp headquarters. We've prepared a truly exceptional agenda for you with three incredibly interesting lectures! 🚀 👨‍🏫 Tomasz Ducin — Back in the game: Recent Revolutionary Changes in Angular 👨‍🏫 📝 Description: Angular has been perceived as a rather complex framework by some, yet it's used massively by enterprise-scale systems. Whether we agree with the criticism or not, the framework is undergoing a monumental transformation. In recent months, Angular is experiencing a period of frequent and significant updates and - at least considering previous years of stagnation - groundbreaking changes. These include not only the features, public API and architecture, but also to the mental models that developers come up with. 👨‍🏫 Michał Trojanowski — Securing Single Page Applications Using The Token Handler Pattern 👨‍🏫 📝 Description: Single Page Applications appear simple at first sight. Web developers provide a superb user experience, and it is also relatively easy to implement token-based security in the browser. Yet this is against current best practices for browser-based apps, and security concerns can become a blocking issue. It is instead recommended to implement a Backend for Frontend (BFF), to reduce browser threats. Yet this often results in the adoption of website technologies to issue secure cookies, which can work against other web architecture goals. In this talk, I will show how a separation of web and API concerns can give you the best choices. In the talk, I will present the Token Handler pattern — Curity's variation of the Backend For Frontend approach. I will show the open-source projects we created to facilitate the implementation of the pattern. 👨‍🏫 Tobiasz Ciesielski — TailwindCSS - Why you should have it in your project? 👨‍🏫 📝 Description: Tailwind has become the most popular styling framework. More than 8 million downloads per week via npm. Why has it become so popular? What are its advantages and disadvantages? Why did we decide to migrate to tailwind in Prowly? What are the good and bad practices of using the framework? I will answer all these questions. These lectures are not only a great opportunity to gain new knowledge but also to meet other technology enthusiasts! Don't miss out on this event! 😉 Tickets are already available, so don't wait and reserve your spot now! 👇 🔖 Tickets: https://lnkd.in/dhXVXwpf See you at WarsawJS Meetup #114! 💫 #WarsawJS #Meetup #Programming #JavaScript

Build things that don't scale! Wait, why would anyone want that? I've been invited to a [CZ/SK] podcast with Tomáš Papež and Matúš Kocka where we explored the idea of leaders overestimating the need for scalability when product market fit has not yet been reached. As technical leaders, it's far easier to make systems scalable for thousands of customers than ever to talk to the first one. Because technology is our passion, we invest 10X with little impact. What would propel us forward would be investing 10X in our communication with potential customers. https://lnkd.in/ehHPmyfM
