My IT knowledge is better than average. I work for a tech company, although not in a tech position, but I've learned a lot through proximity. My brother is a sys admin, and he's always helping me out when I have IT issues. Most of my days are spent with super-techy colleagues, and they would consider my IT-skills below average. But when I'm hanging out with my friends, most of whom aren't in IT, I'm considered incredibly smart. So it really depends on the perspective that you take to figure out if someone has basic IT-knowledge or not. Read more

The promise of modern technology has always been: use it and you'll have more time for the important stuff in your life. As it turned out, it's quite the opposite. There're a lot of socioeconomic reasons for this development but, to some degree, it's caused by the way digital services today are designed from the very beginning. Those services are stealing time by design, tricking us into thinking the stuff we do on there is somehow important. Read more

It's my first time building an inbound sales team from scratch. Now, only a few months into it, I've learned my fair share along the way.

Performance is one of the most critical aspects of any web project, regardless of the size. A small site, a mobile web app or even a large applications like a full blown e-commerce site. Nobody will continue to use a slow application. Are you a developer looking to achieve a more performant web app with smaller loading time? Read more
In startup literature, discussions on perseverance are often turned into an evaluation of whether you should pivot (try something else), shut down the business, or else keep going (stating it's important to persevere and referring to some populist story likeOMGPOPorPinterest or Fab, who eventually made it because they kept going and going). I think it's misleading to founders to pick outliers like these and then tie the two together. Neither angle has anything to do with perseverance - those are tactical business decisions and have nothing to do with your ability to persevere. Perseverance doesn't mean having false hope building something stupid, or working to do work. And perseverance isn't all that special, because it's what all of us have to do. Read more

When it comes to technology and the way user interface has developed over the past 10 years, simplicity and intuitive design have changed the way we interact with the technology around us every day. Gone are the days when we were required to read through pages of instruction manuals and spend hours learning the navigation and features of a newly acquired product. Applications and tech gadgets today are often so intelligently designed that manuals have practically become obsolete and even children can understand intuitively how to operate technologically advanced devices. The one exception to this is of course the brat of technology: printers. Here are 3 reasons why the user experience of computer printers is a nightmare. Read more
