A few weeks ago,  on my way to the .NET Developer Days conference, I had a thought that I must be getting old. That’s because the only book I took with myself was about parenting 🙂 Before, usually, it was something really technical that I don’t have time for and somehow I plan to catch up on the train or in the hotel. I had an interesting conclusion for the first time in my life, that actually putting the hard work to become a better parent, all the lessons learned through the period of raisin...

I have met and talked to a lot of developers in my life. I went through the whole lifecycle of software production many times.

Is Artificial Intelligence going to replace us? I’ve had yesterday a short discussion about replacing programmers by any kind of Artificial Intelligence. That brought me some conclusions linked to the problems I always had to solve being a manager. What I want to focus on is neither to question if the software will replace programmers writing software nor when w...
