While they can't afford going solely one way and losing track in the second direction, they decided they should continue working in both fields, in parallel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 40px;"&gt;The first approach is embodied by &lt;b&gt;Harmony &lt;/b&gt;- a work that focuses on contributing to the evolution of Javascript.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 40px;"&gt;The later - the leap frog strategy - consists of creating a new web programming language that should preserve the advantages of Javascript while fixing its issues from scratch. The new programming language is referred to in the email as &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dash&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, but it is now called &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dartlang.org/"&gt;DART&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 40px;"&gt;They are going to advocate the use of this new, scalable and easy to use language by all browsers, starting @home with Google Chrome and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation#Financing"&gt;their friends @Mozilla&lt;/a&gt;. Given that they are a paramount authority in the world of web development, that they own Google Chrome - the market share which has recently &lt;a href="http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2011/12/03/will-google-become-the-browser-king.aspx"&gt;taken over that of Firefox&lt;/a&gt; - I think they are likely to succeed eventually, so it is worth checking out DART.&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-6120408957722209252?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/6120408957722209252/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/12/dart-and-googles-strategies-on.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/6120408957722209252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/6120408957722209252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/12/dart-and-googles-strategies-on.html' title='DART and Google&apos;s Strategies on the Evolution of Javascript'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-3086929826728202139</id><published>2011-12-02T21:49:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-02T21:51:24.110+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='productivity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='office'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='programming'/><title type='text'>Beatiful office in Poland</title><content type='html'>I have just discovered the facebook profile and pictures of the office where &lt;a href="http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-usually-run-100-kilometers-week.html"&gt;Jarek, the guy running 100 kilometers per week&lt;/a&gt; works (when he is not detached in the Netherlands).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xsolve/sets/72157626146171831/"&gt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/xsolve/sets/72157626146171831/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-3086929826728202139?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/3086929826728202139/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/12/beatiful-office-in-poland.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/3086929826728202139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/3086929826728202139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/12/beatiful-office-in-poland.html' title='Beatiful office in Poland'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-2912690178401064376</id><published>2011-11-30T00:56:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-30T01:13:44.536+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='passion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='my lessons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='people I met'/><title type='text'>I usually run 100 kilometers a week</title><content type='html'>This is what a Polish young man told me on Friday.

should not matter to the successful execution of the tests.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Flow testing (&lt;/i&gt;the tests must run in a specific order in order to test the execution of a flow&lt;i&gt;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;should be avoided, it corresponds to the field of &lt;i&gt;integration testing.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;At the end of their execution, the tests should revert any state that they have changed since they started running.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;tests should not call other tests, not even for the sake of refactoring&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;tests should have one assert only.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;This is why:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using one assert per test &amp;nbsp;is the best way to test because it forces you to think about a good assertion that covers all cases and that will offer a good clue or what is failing in case of failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using multiple asserts is not useful because in case of failure, the test will stop its execution at the failing assert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using different tests for different cases of using the same method and giving these tests names that describe both the input and the expected output, makes it easier for the one maintaining the tests to understand where is the problem when the test fails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One other benefit is that while a test might fail, the others will still run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of using multiple asserts, it is advisable to create a full object to compare the tested object with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div

should always run in its own little world, isolated from even the knowledge that other tests out there might do similar or different things.&lt;br /&gt;When tests aren't isolated well, they can step on each other's toes enough to make you feel miserable, making you regret deciding to try unit-testing on the project, and promising yourself never again. I've seen this happen. {Me too!!!} &lt;b&gt;We don't bother &amp;nbsp;looking for problems in the tests, so when there is a problem with the tests, it can take a lot of time to find it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;The test that cried "fail"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;One project I was involved in had unit-tests behaving strangely, and they got even stranger as time went on. A test would fail and then suddenly pass for a couple of days straight, a day later it would fail, seemingly randomly, and other times it would pass even if code was changed to remove or change its behavior. It got to the point where developers would tell each other, "Ah, it's OK. If it sometimes passes, that means it passes."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;It turned out that the test was calling out a different test as a part of its code, and when the other test failed, it would break the first test.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;It only took us three days to figure this out, after spending a month living with the situation. When we finally had the test working correctly we discovered that we had a bunch of real bugs in our code that we were ignoring because we were getting what we thought were false positives from the failing test. The story of the boy who cried "wolf" holds true even in development"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-7794624399938775413?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/7794624399938775413/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/test-that-cried-fail.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7794624399938775413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7794624399938775413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/test-that-cried-fail.html' title='The test that cried ”Fail”'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-6391152543356849136</id><published>2011-11-12T01:15:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T01:15:33.160+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Malcolm Gladwell: The strange tale of the Norden bombsight | Video on TED.com</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;A thrilling video about the contrast between intention and consequences, by Malcom Gladwell.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Or, as C. put it in a facebook status today, "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;

Testing the functionality of private methods may lead to breaking tests, even though the overall functionality is correct.&lt;/b&gt;"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-1648067646701900916?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/1648067646701900916/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/private-and-protected-methods-should.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/1648067646701900916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/1648067646701900916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/private-and-protected-methods-should.html' title='Private and Protected Methods Should Not Be Tested (Unit Testing)'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-1198707096743488676</id><published>2011-11-11T00:05:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T00:14:13.854+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Art of Unit Testing (Roy Osherove)'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Practices'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='programming'/><title type='text'>Why Should You Avoid Logic In Your Unit Tests?</title><content type='html'>Because logic included in a test increases the chances of having bugs in the tests exponentially.&lt;br /&gt;The tests should be simple, not create files, generate random numbers and open threads, unless you want to have some little monsters that are test engines in their own right.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bugs are annoying because you never search for the cause of a failing test in the test itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, "if you have any of the following inside a test method, your test contains logic that shouldn't be there:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;switch, if &lt;/i&gt;or &lt;i&gt;else&lt;/i&gt; statements&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;foreach, for&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;while&lt;/i&gt; loops&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;A test that contains logic is usually testing more than one thing at a time, which is not recommended, because the test&amp;nbsp; is less readable and more fragile. But test logic also adds complexity that may contain a hidden bug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tests should, as a general rule, be a series of method calls with no control flows, not even &lt;i&gt;try-catch&lt;/i&gt;, and with &lt;i&gt;assert&lt;/i&gt;

Because the competition was fierce, they also worked as barbers or would put on public anatomy lessons with live&amp;nbsp;dissections&amp;nbsp;in &amp;nbsp;Nieuwmarkt Square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The postcard also tells that Amsterdam and the Netherlands are about open-air markets. There is nothing similar to &amp;nbsp;Carrefour or Kaufland here, the grocery is usually done in the open market. You can find "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #525252; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;"&gt;stalls which trade in everything, from cheese to bike chains, fresh produce to fried street snacks, shaving cream and shoes as well as clothes.&lt;/span&gt;" And there are lots of thematic markets - every Friday there is a book market in the city center, next to the flower market, for instance.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-1724224118351656820?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/1724224118351656820/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/amsterdam-city-of-surgeons.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/1724224118351656820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/1724224118351656820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/amsterdam-city-of-surgeons.html' title='Amsterdam, City of Surgeons'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U4vDv-31cKM/TrRSj8tNiGI/AAAAAAAADJg/At3qhReJYTk/s72-c/2011-11-03+22.37.47.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Nieuwmarkt, 1011 Amsterdam, Olanda</georss:featurename><georss:point>52.371933 4.901298</georss:point><georss:box>52.3670855 4.8914275 52.376780499999995 4.9111685</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-9026168890088977942</id><published>2011-11-04T21:44:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T21:55:11.562+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the Netherlands'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Romania'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prosperity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economy'/><title type='text'>Prosperity and the biggest gap between the Netherlands and Romania</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-slzzW1eIBCQ/TrRNmhJGbyI/AAAAAAAADIw/Q7s6RtitNkQ/s1600/Capture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-slzzW1eIBCQ/TrRNmhJGbyI/AAAAAAAADIw/Q7s6RtitNkQ/s400/Capture.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The first interesting thing about the Global Prosperity Index is the factors that define prosperity: it is not only &lt;b&gt;about economy, but about health, governance, entrepreneurship, safety, personal freedom and social networking&lt;/b&gt;. On a personal level, it is a no-brainer that being rich doesn't make you happy, but this not only makes it official at a national level that prosperity is more than the GDP, but it also gives us a checklist of what personal happiness is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8vwhcYd-yVk/TrROB38gb4I/AAAAAAAADI4/WnsdVd5H9BI/s1600/Capture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8vwhcYd-yVk/TrROB38gb4I/AAAAAAAADI4/WnsdVd5H9BI/s1600/Capture.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I read this interesting report from a "&lt;b&gt;Romania compared to Europe&lt;/b&gt;" perspective. I started with the idea to compare my home country to the Netherlands, but it's&amp;nbsp;irrelevant since there is a huge difference&amp;nbsp;at any level&amp;nbsp;between them &amp;nbsp;and total scores is probably not a linear representation of the partial scores. We are reported to have one of the lowest European scores, only countries like Russia, Moldova, Macedonia and Ukraine scoring lower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romania is ranked #58, and the three things that are completely rotten in my country are &lt;b&gt;governance, economy and social capital.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;While the first two are definitely not surprising, the third one, while being painfully low (the last 10th percentile) is something that we are either unaware of or very hypocrite about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that Romanians don't trust each other, they are not eager to connect and help each other, they don't volunteer for the good of the other. It seems like the best sub-score for the Dutch (5th in the world) is the lowest for my home country and it is clear for me, &amp;nbsp;since yesterday I discovered a&lt;a href="http://www.deregenboog.org/opvang"&gt; non-profit organization&lt;/a&gt; which manages some walk-in centers for drug addicts, homeless people and people with mental disorders. They can go there to have a shower, get some food and some clothes, and even play pool or ping-pong. They are very serious in helping those people get rid of their addictions, get a job or find a home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What seems so normal for them, was almost incredible for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I can extend this to the professional level - people just don't know how to relate to each other; I used to have managers who were apparently afraid of walking outside their office to meet other people, to bounce useful ideas out of the society they live in. Well, they didn't even seem to be able to greet you when you pass by or give any kind of feedback to the emails you sent them.&lt;br /&gt;And it was hard for me to realize that no matter how much you wear your heart on the sleeve in their presence, they are always suspicious, they can never trust you. And I can't accuse them of malice, but ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, the whole report is very interesting and helpful in offering an overview of the current European and global trends:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Unexpectedly for me, Slovenia performs much better that the PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the regress of the&amp;nbsp;Mediterranean countries is very well explained in the document&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore (1st ranked in economy) are in the top 30 countries&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bulgaria is more prosper than Romania, not to mention Hungary&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Amsterdam is the most diverse city in the world (approx. 170 nationalities), but "what is surprising is an unexpected&amp;nbsp;decline in personal freedom in certain&amp;nbsp;countries. Two of the Nordic countries,&amp;nbsp;Finland and Sweden, have seen a&amp;nbsp;significant decrease in their scores over&amp;nbsp;the last two years. This is mainly due to&amp;nbsp;lower levels of tolerance for immigrants&amp;nbsp;and ethnic minorities.&amp;nbsp;A similar pattern can be discerned in most&amp;nbsp;of the Eastern European countries, where&amp;nbsp;citizens express not only lower tolerance&amp;nbsp;for immigrants and minorities."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Find the report here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27217141/Prosperity%20Index%20Brochure%202011%20LO.pdf"&gt;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27217141/Prosperity%20Index%20Brochure%202011%20LO.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and read a good &lt;a href="http://blogs.hbr.org/hbr/meyer-kirby/2011/11/beyond-gdp-how-the-worlds-econ.html"&gt;article about it in Harvard Business Review&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2HpP6Ys2RE8/TrROj8Cz7KI/AAAAAAAADJA/QmWYsE-UYNQ/s1600/Capture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2HpP6Ys2RE8/TrROj8Cz7KI/AAAAAAAADJA/QmWYsE-UYNQ/s1600/Capture.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-9026168890088977942?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/9026168890088977942/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/prosperity-and-biggest-gap-between.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/9026168890088977942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/9026168890088977942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/prosperity-and-biggest-gap-between.html' title='Prosperity and the biggest gap between the Netherlands and Romania'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-slzzW1eIBCQ/TrRNmhJGbyI/AAAAAAAADIw/Q7s6RtitNkQ/s72-c/Capture.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Oudezijds Voorburgwal 221IV, 1012 Amsterdam, Olanda</georss:featurename><georss:point>52.3702157 4.8951679</georss:point><georss:box>52.292658200000005 4.7372394 52.4477732 5.053096399999999</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-2920085227190640829</id><published>2011-11-03T23:21:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T23:59:23.651+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='living the Netherlands'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><title type='text'>A Nation of Artists</title><content type='html'>When I came here I barely knew where Amsterdam was on the map. Or that is the only sensible explanation I can find for taking so many dresses in my luggage, but no raincoats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In my country I used to hear a great deal of opinions about the French, the Germans, the Italians, but almost nothing about the Dutch people. No one knows how good engineers they are, how kind and frank at the same time, how they instantly switch to English when they notice you're an expat, how free they are.&lt;br /&gt;But these things are details that you can think of, given that they are proud representatives of the developed, Western World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, there's something you cannot easily guess about them before living here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;There is a lot of artistic gift, creative blood running through the Dutch veins.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been almost six months here and my perspective related to art got from 0 to... I am far from being a connoisseur, but at least I know that Rembrandt was mostly about light and dark (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiaroscuro"&gt;Chiaroscuro&lt;/a&gt;), while the paintings of Vermeer, Rubens or Van Gogh are more about colour.&lt;br /&gt;I will list my thoughts with examples in some future posts about a topic which I used to find not so interesting before I came here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I fell in love with a painting of Van Gogh's that brings France and Holland together. The scene is typically Dutch for me,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://v5.cache6.c.bigcache.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/3763909.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://v5.cache6.c.bigcache.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/3763909.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but the painting was created in Arles, France at the Post Langlois (now called Pont Van Gogh):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://m.iphotoscrap.com/Image/526/1268821383.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://m.iphotoscrap.com/Image/526/1268821383.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Drawbridge with Carriage, Arles 1888 - &lt;i&gt;The carriage is just passing over the bridge and a group of women wash clothes at the edge of the canal, in which there is a half submerged boat.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-2920085227190640829?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/2920085227190640829/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/nation-of-artists.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/2920085227190640829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/2920085227190640829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/11/nation-of-artists.html' title='A Nation of Artists'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Oudezijds Voorburgwal 221IV, 1012 Amsterdam, Olanda</georss:featurename><georss:point>52.3702157 4.8951679</georss:point><georss:box>52.292658200000005 4.7372394 52.4477732 5.053096399999999</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-228001773680801058</id><published>2011-11-01T20:46:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T00:10:32.505+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cycle paths'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='living in the Netherlands'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bikes'/><title type='text'>Everything I do, I do it riding my bike</title><content type='html'>So the biking paths weren't here &lt;span class="hwc" style="color: #333333; cursor: default;"&gt;since&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hwc" style="color: #333333; cursor: default;"&gt;God&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hwc" style="color: #333333; cursor: default;"&gt;knows&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hwc" style="color: #333333; cursor: default;"&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;?

These beautiful cities of the Netherlands are even more thrilling when you have some of your best friends to take some walks with. Me, A. and V. took dinner at 100m above ground level, in the Euromast tower - something I had been waiting for since some months ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are living the good life, our life is great, I should not forget this.&lt;br /&gt;I was admiring Rotterdam from the Euromast tower - it is amazing, so different from the other Dutch cities. It has its grace, its grandeur:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://triptorotterdam.hotels-blog.net/files/2010/10/Rotterdam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="425" src="http://triptorotterdam.hotels-blog.net/files/2010/10/Rotterdam.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the the Manhattan on the Meuse is indeed &lt;i&gt;Stronger &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;through Struggle&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;it is reborn from the ashes of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotterdam_Blitz"&gt;Rotterdam Blitz&lt;/a&gt; (may 14, 1940)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.studenthandouts.com/01-Web-Pages/01-Picture-Pages/10.13-World-War-II/Death-and-Destruction/184-German-Ultimatum-Dutch-Commander-Rotterdam-Blitz-Aerial-View-1940-WWII.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="474" src="http://www.studenthandouts.com/01-Web-Pages/01-Picture-Pages/10.13-World-War-II/Death-and-Destruction/184-German-Ultimatum-Dutch-Commander-Rotterdam-Blitz-Aerial-View-1940-WWII.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically, the Dutch had already given up their neutrality in the Second World War when the Germans started the (consequently) unnecessary bombardment of the city.&lt;br /&gt;Long story short, a communication error led to a ruined city. But they built it again, better, because there is a lot of power within these people; this is just one first example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shared sorrow is half a sorrow.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe that's

the lightest change in code breaks the tests. This means we are testing the wrong things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Testing interactions is a double-edged sword. Test it too much and you start to loose sight of the big picture; test it too little, and you'll miss the important interactions between objects."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should use only one mock per test, the rest should be stubs. We should avoid using an object as both a mock and a stub in the same test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Use a stub only for faking return values into the program under test, and to throw exceptions. Don't verify that methods where called on stubs."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Use a mock only for verifying that some method was called on it, but don't use it to return values into your program under test."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tests should include as little logic as possible. We should hard-code the values we compare the results of the tests to.

(The details of the presentation are listed at the end.)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Movemeon guys explained that their product already generates revenue, despite being a recent one - and the phases that their start-up has undergone by now.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They claim that the VC money should be raised whenever it is possible, not necessarily when you need them, because the market fluctuates a lot and the VC world is very diverse: some VCs are enthusiastic and generous, some are quite reluctant to risk - and this is something that doesn't depend on you / your idea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://metail.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; http://metail.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt; is a website where you upload 2 pictures of you, and they build a virtual 3D model of your person, coming up with suggestions about what clothes to buy. The guy has worked within different start-ups until he had his own idea, and he argues that it is the execution that matters, not so much the idea. He affirms that money should be a secondary goal in a business; if you have a healthy business model and way of management, money will follow. &lt;br /&gt;Planning the stages of your business is very important. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When he got his own idea, he funded it with his savings, money from his parents, then he appealed to an angel investor. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He got to the third funding round (GBP 500K) and opines that angel investors are preferable to VCs. He thinks that VCs want to have a lot of control in your business and they put a lot of pressure in the workflow, with demanding deadlines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The 3 things that VCs give you:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; a. Expertize in the field, but you may not need it; if you are focused and you have strong goals, you will get to being an expert&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; b. Business relationships in your field; but if you reasearch and promote your product yourself, you will get to the right people anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; c. Money - money will follow if you have the right thinking&lt;br /&gt;The put it short, this guy says that VCs are evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The next speaker was an INSEAD professor who has worked a lot with VC firms. He admitted that his thoughts are in antithesis with those of the previous speaker, but added that the latter is somehow right: from VCs you raise a minimum of 2-3M, the space below being owned by Angel Investors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He restated that VCs are very demanding and they don't have the same patience with the product development as the owners of the financed company. &lt;br /&gt;VCs usually have better relationships and they can give you a lot of money. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Nevertheless, they might push their own people into the business, being able even to replace the CEO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About pitching:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;begin with the strengths of your idea, not with histories and biographies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;10-20-30 rule is recommendable (10 slides, 20 min, 30 point font - &lt;a href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2005/12/the_102030_rule.html#axzz1ZEaJxf5f" target="_blank"&gt;http://blog.guykawasaki.com/&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;2005/12/the_102030_rule.html#&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;axzz1ZEaJxf5f&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;there should be one speaker only - the CEO (not the CTO, not an Angel Investor; the CTO should be there though, to answer the technical questions.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a Q&amp;amp;A session is mandatory, especially questions about risks and protection against risks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While VCs are focused on the ROI, the founders usually want to be the managers of a big company, therefore some conflicts may arise between the two parties. &lt;br /&gt;The founders should be prepared for the shortening of their share in the company as they go from one investment round to another. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; VCs think in end market terms. They want to know how big is the market that you want to enter; if it is not so big, how fast is it expected to grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The CEO should know as much as possible about the VC firm he wants to pitch to. He should know who are the partners, what other start-ups they funded. &lt;br /&gt;It is important to find that partner who has invested in a similar idea or knows the field, and go talk to him in the first place, because he will become the CEO's ally in the process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further reading: &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/carsonified/aaron-patzer-how-to-take-your-startup-to-the-next-level" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.slideshare.net/&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;carsonified/aaron-patzer-how-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;to-take-your-startup-to-the-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;next-level&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Details about the speakers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HOW DO I FUND MY STARTUP?&lt;br /&gt;Learnings on Bootstrapping, Angel Investment and Venture Capital &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;------------------------------&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Two entrepreneurs in the midst of making fund raising decisions ask the experts and the audience what they should do.

But objects of different types collaborate within an application, so we have to use Mock objects for all those which are not the Class under Test. These fake objects decide whether the unit test has failed or not, by testing whether the Object under Test has interacted as expected with the Mock object.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;There should be only one mock object per test.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The differences between stubs and mock objects:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stubs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mock objects&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;make tests run smoothly&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;checks interactions between objects&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;cannot fail tests (or should not :) )&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;can fail tests&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;replace objects so we can test the others without problems&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;used to test if a test has failed or not&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;no asserts can be done on stubs&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;asserts should be done on mock objects, and not other objects;&lt;br /&gt;they record (are affected) by the communication with the object under test&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mocks and stubs can be combined (example at page 92).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Both mocks and stubs should be reusable (therefore we don't write tests within them).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mocks and stubs are grouped under the term&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Fakes&lt;/em&gt;. The same class can be both a mock or a stub, depending on how it is used.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Best practices:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;One test (method for testing) - one thing tested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Pattern for naming a test method&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;function test_whatMethod_entryValues_expectedResult()&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;- so that the dev know right away what is being tested, if the test fails)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;One test means one mock object only, the other objects in the test being stubs, if not the Class under Test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;good to know for complex tests - you only have to ask yourself ""What is the mock object here?" and things should become clearer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;A powerful technique is using&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;stub chains&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;- stubs that return other stubs or other mocks&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because handwriting mocks and stubs takes a lot of time, is difficult, cumbersome, makes tests hard to maintain and reuse and also means adding more tests to the system (the tests for the handwritten stubs), there are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Isolation frameworks (mock object frameworks)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;to help. They remove repetitive coding, making tests more readable and easier to implement.

Of course, integration testing and, moreover,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;continuous integration, &lt;/i&gt;are also very important, but the best practice is to separate integration tests from unit tests because the former are much slower. Any programmer should be able to run the unit tests as frequently as possible, if not before each commit. If running the tests takes too much time, the lazy programmers will start skipping it. So, it is great if you&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;have a safe green zone for rapid (unit) tests, and a zone of slow tests that can be run during automated builds, for instance.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Avoiding doing integration testing instead of Unit Testing, leads us to the concept of&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;stubs&lt;/i&gt;. External dependencies (objects in your system that your code interacts with, but over which you have no control)&amp;nbsp; should be replaced by stubs, because Unit Testing aims testing the system without external dependencies. In turn, this idea requires an ability to change the object that represents an external dependency (filesystem, time, threads, memory) easily, at run-time - so we have to inject these objects to our system under test.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are several techniques for that:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;replace the dependency with an interface of it that has methods that return the expected results&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;inject stub implementation under class under test&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;inject in the constructor&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;inject by getters/setters&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;inject as parameter to a function&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;inject as factory class which creates the stub&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Needless to say, Unit Testing !== Test Driven Development&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-4491459898782008157?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/4491459898782008157/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/08/art-of-unit-testing-by-roy-osherove_31.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4491459898782008157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4491459898782008157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/08/art-of-unit-testing-by-roy-osherove_31.html' title='The Art of Unit Testing - by Roy Osherove'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-8827559514111152339</id><published>2011-08-30T02:43:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.961+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Filter bubbles.

You shouldn't be wedded to any particular technology, but have a broad enough background and experience base to allow you to choose good solutions in particular situations.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1. Your background stems from an understanding of the basic principles of computer science&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;2.  Your experience comes from a wide range of practical projects.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theory and practice combine to make you strong.

I did that and suddenly, without really having this goal in  mind, I found myself in a place where at least three things are major  shifts from the way I worked before and important factors for increased  motivation and productivity:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The strong belief in a product that "we want to conquer the world with." &lt;/strong&gt;I  can hear this several times a week around me and we really believe it.  We are encouraged to do everything with this goal in mind - conquering  an international market with a product that will greatly help the people  involved in group travelling. We have big challenges ahead, aims that  are not achievable at this moment, but this reminds me about Google's  same way of working. Great just&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;isn't good enough.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A stupendous office environment that we want to make even better. &lt;/strong&gt;In  no particular order of importance, first of all, it is the office itself.  Sometimes you feel much better than at home. Stunning view - at the  intersection of two big canals, with boats and geese passing along all  the time. And inside, as relaxing and comfortable as the view outside*.  Secondly, the charming city of Amsterdam and its people's ways. And last  but not least, the people in the office: they come from all over the  world - we combine in our company's DNA different genes from  exceptional and very diverse people.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A different set of values and beliefs. &lt;/strong&gt;There is no focus to classify people into categories and to build a hierarchy&lt;strong&gt;. The managers and the meetings are at a premium. &lt;/strong&gt;We are all peers here.

After some years of working with some of my best friends, I reckon it seems right sometimes - sharing a professional life with your friends makes you highly prone to conflicts that can rot your personal relationships; nevertheless, in the long term, it turns out to strengthen your friendships and add quality to your work environment, especially if those people are very skilled professionals. If you surround yourself with very smart people, they will challenge you to do your best. The workplace is no exception.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;When you are contributing your code to five or more projects, it is noticeably helpful to have an work environment set up for improved productivity, frequently being added new tools to speed up the development and remove repetitive work. From the moment of checking out a project to the moment of  building in one step and deploying your code, the ability to move fast when manipulating a complex system where each project has its own bucket of {x testing, y freeze, z production} machines, and quite a few dependencies {Hadoop jobs, Solr indexes, HBase databases, MongoDb sets, cronjobs ...}, should motivate and trigger humbleness to a web- developer. Such a technical background and extremely skilled TechLeaders and SysAdmins  in a company, not to mention concepts that you can often hear about in Facebook TechTalks or on sites like highScalability.net - they not only add a lot of value to programmers ' experience and skills, but they also keep them tied to such a company.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;To make it clearer, there aren't too many places where I could see large projects with static text resources (Javascript and CSS) built in one step in a single file, with versioning - so you can always revert to a previous revision in production; this was so much better than the common approach which requires developers to put all their static code in a single file, failing to provide only what is needed, so that no additional static content is uselessly served for a certain page request. Yes, I know I said I'd make it clearer .. :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is more, it is also nice to have code reviews, management classes, presentations on tech/business matters; it is good to securely and easily work from home, to have a free phone subscription and a parking place (with the downside of being the permanent onCallEngineer or so called TeamLeader for a certain project [joking, it is always a great privilege, especially on weekends and vacations] ).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Besides, it is nice to use Hg instead of Svn. Svn pollutes your source folders and doesn't allow symlink versioning, to name just two shortcomings. Mercurial gets you closer to learning the fancy Git. By the way, I will never forget to &lt;strong&gt;sync early, sync often&lt;/strong&gt; as  once upon a time, the story goes,  I had to write this sentence down 20 times, on a cheatsheet I had the pleasure to compose for my colleagues after reading the Mercurial book. As I was probably the only one who read that guide, they should never forget me. ( I am too good to be true, for anything else, you have Mastercard. )&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Speaking of my former colleagues, I enjoyed a lot their company on LaserTag or Pool evenings. Also, having lunch together is certainly another ingredient for team jelling - the authors of Peopleware were right, how weird... Oh, having a gym on-site is also a great benefit, of course. It is even better if  you make use of it, which I did not.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last but not least, the Scrum/Agile way of working is as beneficial and refreshing as going to the gym, I can find no argument against it. Besides, I can assure that having a pretty, blonde, extremely well organized and protective, "profi" Scrum Master to run the processes makes it even more pleasant.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Long story short, having a marvelous techEnvironment and outgoing colleagues is great, maybe required,  but certainly not sufficient for a successful business.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I regret I haven't had the chance to do Unit Testing until present times. I guess it has to do with some obsession to deliver as fast as possible. Done is better than perfect and perfectionism is a condition, I could hear often. What if you are far away from being in a team of perfectionists ? I agree  - it is wrong to polish the lower side of the banister, but can you still invoke that if the upper side is as smooth as sandpaper? Given these, it may become absurd to keep hearing "we have too many bugs!". Of course we do. It is also proven that Unit Testing can help a lot to reduce them and you always have &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Project_Triangle.svg"&gt;the Project triangle&lt;/a&gt; to remind you about the basics.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;In addition, as I mentioned team jelling, I must emphasize some ideas about what surely prevents teams from jelling: a 'quality, when time permits' philosophy; a high turnover; always changing teams and no product ownership; individually rewarding, praising or criticizing team members; work conditions which are less than quiet; wasting people's time in meetings with no outcome ; building things too complex from scratch; the inability to explain to a developer why you're building a particular feature, not to mention failing to provide market research data; a focus factor of 100% taken for granted in the above-mentioned conditions. Been there, done that, NOT OK.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;All in all, given the many times I said to myself that I am working in the best web company in my country, I find the overall experience of extreme value and I wish I be able to build even more value with it. I also hope these ideas be source of improvements. Feedback is very useful and important, generally, and particularly - regarding the ideas of this essay. So reactions are welcome.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; Notes on this: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;It’s highly subjective. I have been forced, in the interest of brevity, to leave out the words “in my opinion” from the beginning of each sentence, because, as it turns out every single sentence on this blog is my opinion. And it is not complete, but it is probably a good start.&lt;em&gt; Joel Spolsky&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;These are random thoughts, in no particular order of importance.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-2144626050836277975?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/2144626050836277975/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/06/thoughts-on-my-past-as-programmer_20.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/2144626050836277975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/2144626050836277975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/06/thoughts-on-my-past-as-programmer_20.html' title='Thoughts on My Past as a Programmer'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-4915120302707724179</id><published>2011-06-15T03:09:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.863+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Gratitude Collage</title><content type='html'>&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://swb1.machteamsoft.ro/albums/pictures/563/16563/p1000157_9292.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Simt nevoia să fiu recunoscătoare unor oameni:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	&lt;li&gt;cui m-a învățat să fac ce se vede în imagine&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	&lt;li&gt;cui mi-a dăruit aparatul foto&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	&lt;li&gt;cui a scris asta &lt;a href="http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2011/06/a-great-graduation-speech-for-engineers-and-entrepreneurs.html"&gt;http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2011/06/a-great-graduation-speech-for-engineers-and-entrepreneurs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Dream until your dreams come true.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I miss so many people.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="390"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/txlXcJDtDwM?version=3" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/txlXcJDtDwM?version=3" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-4915120302707724179?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/4915120302707724179/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/06/gratitude-collage_14.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4915120302707724179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4915120302707724179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/06/gratitude-collage_14.html' title='Gratitude Collage'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-3880987408926171832</id><published>2011-06-13T17:47:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.821+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Crezi ca utilizatorii tai sunt prosti?</title><content type='html'>Clar nu ai cum sa ai succes.

Întâi pentru că &lt;em&gt;cine se scuză, se acuză &lt;/em&gt;în viziunea &lt;em&gt;câinilor care latră, pe când caravana trece&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Altfel, articolul e foarte interesant, e despre cum ajungi un jurnalist de succes și despre &lt;em&gt;role models - &lt;/em&gt;îl recomand.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-983616053710173654?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/983616053710173654/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/04/legatura-dintre-mine-si-gwyneth-paltrow_22.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/983616053710173654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/983616053710173654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/04/legatura-dintre-mine-si-gwyneth-paltrow_22.html' title='Legătura dintre mine și Gwyneth Paltrow'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-2594609511167158940</id><published>2011-04-02T16:39:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.792+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Influence - cum să convingi pe oricine de orice'/><title type='text'>Colaborarea, stimulent al simpatiei (Influence, Cum să convingi)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;Mulți oameni rămân prieteni după ce trec printr-un efort de echipă. Prietenia  sau ameliorarea relațiilor e garantată dacă efortul este încununat de succes, pentru că este extrem de greu să menții ostilitate unui om care a fost partenerul tău într-un succes. Cu alte cuvinte, colaborarea este mult mai fructuoasă decât competiția, care stimulează individualismul, după cum se zicea și în &lt;a href="../2011/01/20/508900/"&gt;Peopleware&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;Este o relație bidirecțională - colaborarea stimulează coachingul, învățarea, iar &lt;a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/david_brooks_the_social_animal.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;oamenii învață cel mai bine de la oamenii pe care îi simpatizează &lt;/em&gt;și &lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/david_brooks_the_social_animal.html"&gt;cel mai mult înveți când te afli într-un grup, colaborarea fiind substanța evoluției&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; În plus, colaborarea are meritul de a spori creativitatea pentru că stimulează gândirea divergentă, capacitatea de a da multe răspunsuri la aceeași problemă, trăsătură comună copiilor și diminiuată în cazul oamenilor maturi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;Întorcându-ne la &lt;em&gt;Influence&lt;/em&gt;, de pare că oamenii care vor să ne vândă lucruri știu asta și adesea pare că se aliază cu noi - vor să ne găsească o casă cât mai bună, cât mai ieftină, vor face tot posibilul să obținem un discount etc., uneori aparent în detrimentul companiei pentru care lucrează.

Întotdeauna le vom face concesii celor care ne sunt simpatici. În &lt;em&gt;Influence &lt;/em&gt;se explică pe scurt care sunt lucrurile care îi fac pe ceilalți să ne placă:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O aparență fizică plăcută&lt;/strong&gt;. Persoanele atrăgătoare au trecere mai mare; la ele funcționează efectul de halou - aparența fizică face să pară că au toate trăsăturile ieșite din comun în sens pozitiv. Oamenilor care arată bine le atribuim automat și trăsături precum talentul, bunătatea, cinstea și inteligența, fără a fi conștienți că suntem influențați de aparența fizică.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Similaritatea&lt;/strong&gt;. Ne plac oamenii asemenea nouă. Indiferent dacă ne sunt asemănători în privința opiniilor, a trăsăturillor de personalitate, a culturii sau stilului de viață. Se zice că doi oameni devin prieteni când unul dintre ei spune „Și tu? Credeam că numai eu...”&lt;br/&gt;Trebuie să fim atenți zilele astea cu oamenii de vânzări care par să ne fie foarte similari. Foarte multe traininguri de vânzări insistă ca prefesioniștii din domeniu să adopte o atitudine de „&lt;strong&gt;oglindire și potrivire&lt;/strong&gt;” cu postura clientului, dispoziția, stilul verbal - pentru că similaritatea în aceste direcții aduce rezultate pozitive. Citeam la un moment dat în HBR că în afaceri e mai probabil să închei contracte dacă adopți accentul persoanei care vorbești, mai ales dacă limba engleză este a doua limbă pentru persoana respectivă. E foarte simplu să faci asta în cazul francezilor, de exemplu, care vorbesc engleza cu un accent puternic franțuzesc.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;font-size: small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Complimentele.&lt;/strong&gt; Complimentele declanșează automat simpatia, aproape fără excepție, și ne pot convinge să facem lucruri care nu sunt neapărat în interesul nostru.

Puțin probabil să ne aflăm în ambele situații. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cam în orice industrie (cu excepția celei de transfer electronic de bani, aparent), să presupui că oamenii sunt binevoitori este nu numai mult mai productiv, ci foarte probabil o previziune de mare acuratețe.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Încrederea te răsplătește.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2011/03/assuming-goodwill.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+typepad/sethsmainblog+(Seth's+Blog)&amp;amp;utm_content=Google+Reader"&gt;http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2011/03/assuming-goodwill.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2Fsethsmainblog+%28Seth%27s+Blog%29&amp;amp;utm_content=Google+Reader&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-5195576763209463335?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/5195576763209463335/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/03/increderea-iti-va-fi-rasplatita-seth_10.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5195576763209463335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5195576763209463335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/03/increderea-iti-va-fi-rasplatita-seth_10.html' title='Încrederea îți va fi răsplătită (Seth Godin)'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-7454935250863982368</id><published>2011-02-27T01:28:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.925+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Influence - cum să convingi pe oricine de orice'/><title type='text'>Influence - cum să convingi - legea conformismului (II)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;În urmă cu mai mult de două secole, Goethe a publicat un roman cu numele &lt;em&gt;Suferințele tânărului Werther. &lt;/em&gt;Protagonistul, Werther, dintr-o dezamăgire profundă față de lume, se sinucide, iar actul său are un impact remarcabil. Mai important decât că i-a adus faimă lui Goethe, e faptul că romanul a pornit un val de sinucideri în Europa. În general, în urma unui act de suicid care apare pe prima pagină a ziarelor, rata sinuciderilor crește vizibil în zonele geografice în care s-a făcut multă publicitate cazului. Psihologii cred că persoanele deprimate care citesc poveștile celor care se sinucid se omoară în semn de imitație, mai ales dacă există similarități între ei și cei pe care-i imită.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Există șase arme ale influenței: reciprocitatea, consecvența, conformismul, simpatia, autoritatea și privarea. Toate acestea funcționează ca un reflexe, existând anumiți factori declanșatori și ne asigură eficiență în tratarea diferitelor situații. Ultima oară vorbeam de legea adaptării la dovada socială, supenerea majorității sau legea conformismului, și spuneam că se manifestă mai ales atunci când ne aflăm în situații incerte. Pe lângă incertitudine, similaritatea este alt factor declanșator al acestei paradigme de luare a deciziilor. Facem ce fac oamenii similari nouă, mai mult decât în cazul celor diferiți de noi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;Cei care cunosc ceea ce ne declanșează răspunsuri automate pot profita, practicând un fel de jujitsu social. Puterea lor crește considerabil dacă folosesc arma conformismului. Pot controla deodată mulțimi întregi. O modalitate de a ne apăra de profitori este să chestionăm statisticile prezentate în spoturi publicitare  și să ne asigurăm că datele pe care ne băzăm în luarea deciziilor nu sunt eronate. Chiar dacă informațiile despre ce fac ceilalți, în general, nu sunt intenționat falsificate, o eroare poate avea un efect de bulgăre și ne va împinge să luăm decizii greșite, ca în cazult ignoranței pluraliste.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-7454935250863982368?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/7454935250863982368/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/influence-cum-sa-convingi-legea_26.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7454935250863982368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7454935250863982368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/influence-cum-sa-convingi-legea_26.html' title='Influence - cum să convingi - legea conformismului (II)'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-6195020821643594368</id><published>2011-02-25T19:49:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.898+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Influence - cum să convingi pe oricine de orice'/><title type='text'>Influence - cum să convingi - despre „ce face lumea”</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: 800"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Legea spiritului de turmă (The Law of Social Proof)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: 800"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Citind &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Influence-Psychology-Persuasion-Robert-Cialdini/dp/0688128165"&gt;cartea aceasta&lt;/a&gt;, mi-am dat seama cât de puțin conștienți suntem de automatismele noastre, de scurtăturile pe care mintea le alege pentru a ne scăpa de inconfortabilul act al gândirii și, în particular, de faptul că pentru cei mai mulți, emoțiile ies la iveală mult mai repede decât posesorul se poate gândi la ele și la efectul lor. E clar că gândirea automatizată este o trăsătură umană benefică în majoritatea cazurilor, pentru că ne ajută să progresăm, să ne folosim rapid cunoștințele și așa mai departe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;De exemplu, suntem programați să alegem fără a ne gândi să facem ce face lumea din jur. Adesea, calea corectă pentru noi este dată de ceea ce cred alți oameni că ar fi corect. Și cu cât sunt mai mulți cei care adoptă un anumit comportament, cu atât ni se va părea el mai corect: niciodată nu vei rămâne serios când toată lumea râde în jurul tău sau când auzi râsetele de pe fundalul comediilor. E și recomandabil să faci așa, nu degeaba se spune că dacă ești în Roma, trebuie să faci ca romanii, iar dacă ești între lupi, trebuie să urli (cum se zice, foarte plastic, în &lt;a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/when_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do"&gt;limba germană&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;În industria publicității se cunoaște foarte bine acest detaliu, de aia auzim mereu de produse „cu cea mai mare creștere”, „cel mai bine vândute”, „cele mai folosite” ș.a.m.d. „Din moment ce 95% suntem imitatori și 5% inițiatori, e normal să conteze enorm acțiunile celorlalți” (Robert Cavett - consultant în vânzări). Trebuie să fim atenți pentru că mare parte a statisticilor prezentate în diverse discursuri sunt false.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oamenii nesiguri, în situații ambigue, sunt cei mai înclinați spre &lt;em&gt;social proof. &lt;/em&gt; Din păcate, asta duce la un fenomen numit &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluralistic_ignorance"&gt;ignoranță pluralistă&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/em&gt; care face ca un om să fie lăsat să moară pe stradă pentru că oricum „o să sune altcineva la 112, dacă nu a făcut-o deja” sau pentru că „oricum nimeni nu oprește să vadă” - oamenii reprimă adevăratele sentimente și impulsuri în favoarea adaptării în peisaj. Adesea, peisajul e diferit de ceea ce cred ei.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pentru a ne rezolva incertitudinea, e natural să privim în jur la ceea ce fac ceilalți, pentru indicii. De exemplu, după modul în care se comportă alți martori ai unei nedreptăți în stradă, vom decide dacă situația este sau nu o urgență. Însă și ceilalți martori caută aceleași indicii, în consecință nu le va găsi nimeni și nimeni nu va acționa, pentru că situația respectivă nu va fi catalogată ca situație de urgență. Adesea gândim că dacă nimănui nu-i pasă, atunci nimic nu e în neregulă. În schimb, dacă martorii vor fi convinși că asistă la un eveniment grav, va fi foarte probabil ca ei să acționeze pentru remedierea respectivei situații.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;Concluzia este că, în genere, oamenii fac „ce face lumea” și, în particular, apelează la dovada socială mai ales în momentele lor de incertitudine. Acesta nu este singurul factor favorizant al acestui automatism în gândire.

Poți pune în locul lui &lt;em&gt;Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook &lt;/em&gt;sau altele. Mulți vor, puțini ajung. Tot atât de puțini își pot imagina cum e pe acolo.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bine, în afară de faptul că se dă mâncare pe gratis - asta-i numai cireașa de pe tort. Au în comun asta, și faptul că sunt companii cu suflet tânăr, după deviza „poți fi serios și fără costum”. Unii ar putea crede că medicii, frizerii și bucătarii aduși acolo pentru ingineri sunt mici capcane menite să-i țină mai mult la lucru. Nu e nevoie, iar ideea de echilibru viață/muncă este foarte respectată.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Alt lucru comun este limitarea ierarhiei - nu se grăbesc să împingă pe cei mai roditori în roluri de manageri, ci oferă titluri care sugerează mai bine valoarea lor în domeniu - Software Architect, Distingushed Engineer etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diferențele&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amazon&lt;/strong&gt; pare mai mult o companie de &lt;em&gt;retail,&lt;/em&gt; decât una care a crescut pe baza inovației tehnologice. E și una, și alta. Sunt acolo oameni învățați să se miște repede și să stea până noaptea târziu, dacă e cazul.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apple&lt;/strong&gt; e la fel de secretoasă în interior, ca în exterior și, vorba cărții, când  inovația depinde atât de mult de design și de măiestria cu care își face publicitatea zgomotoasă, nu e de mirare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microsoft, &lt;/strong&gt;deși flirtează cu web-ul, își câștigă banii din Windows și Office, livrează rar și mult, de aceea trebuie să facă lucrurile bine. Asta și faptul că e o companie gigantică, o face mai puțin atractivă pentru cei cu spirit de aventură. Echipele sunt foarte importante, unele inovează mai mult, altele mai puțin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google&lt;/strong&gt;, spre deosebire de Microsoft, pune în prim plan inginerii. Se mișcă și ea repede și apreciază extrem inovația, chiar dacă premisele de la care se pleacă nu sunt cele corecte. Ierarhia mult aplatizată, face ca managerii, având foarte mulți angajați în grijă, să nu le poată acorda tuturor atenția pe care și-ar dori-o.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-4696609768062519403?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/4696609768062519403/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/cv-pentru-google_24.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4696609768062519403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4696609768062519403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/cv-pentru-google_24.html' title='CV pentru Google'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-8800085787991437433</id><published>2011-02-14T09:17:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.958+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Influence - cum să convingi pe oricine de orice - despre consecvența

Culmea, se pare că omul însuși folosește același fel de mărturii pentru a se descoperi pe sine - comportamentul său îi spune despre sine, fiind sursa principală de informație despre atitudinile, credințele și valorile sale. Într-adevăr, ne judecăm după fapte, și nu după opinii și gânduri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ne învârtim într-un cerc - construim autocritici pe baza faptelor noastre și acționăm pe baza declarațiilor publice. Cu cât e mai publică o mărturisire despre noi înșine, cu atât o vom schimba mai greu, de teamă să nu fim luați ca oameni fără cuvânt și cu atât vom depune mai mult efort în a fi consecvenți. În continuare, cu cât depunem mai multă energie într-o anumită direcție, cu atât o vom prețui mai mult.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Oamenii care trec prin sacrificii și probleme pentru a urma o cauză, tind să o valoreze mult mai tare decât persoanele care obțin același lucru cu minimum de efort. Spre exemplu, oamenii care fac parte din diferite secte religioase sunt mult mai devotați credințelor respective decât oamenii care aparțin religiilor răspândite și relaxate din punctul de vedere dogmatic sau al influenței sociale  - vezi diferența dintre creștinii și extremiștii islamici, islamismul fiind recunoscut pentru severitatea dogmatică.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;Pe de altă parte, sociologii au ajuns la concluzia că ne asumăm responsabilitatea cu privire la diferite comportamente dacă avem impresia că am ales să le urmăm în absența unor presiuni exterioare puternice. Dale Carnegie ne învăța că, pentru a convinge pe cineva de o idee, trebuie să-l facem să creadă că ea a fost ideea lui.

Sistemele nuanțat recompensative sau nuanțat punitive pot avea succes pe termen scurt, dar nu ne vor ajuta să ne asumăm responsabilitatea pentru actele pe care le facem. În consecință, nu ne vom dedica acelui tip de comportament, iar toate astea trebuie luate serios în seama când vine vorba de educația unui copil sau de motivarea angajaților.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;Așadar, nu ar trebui să ne recompensăm copiii și nici să-i amenințăm cu pedeapsa dacă fac sau nu niște lucruri în care am vrea să creadă. Asemenea presiuni vor produce o supunere temporară, dar dacă ne dorimmai mult de atât, trebuie să-i facem să creadă în corectitudinea principiilor pe care vrem să le inoculăm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Consecvența este una dintre trăsăturile cele mai benefice ale unui om, chiar vitală, scutindu-ne de rătăciri. Totuși, trebuie să fim în stare să ne dăm seama la timp când cineva ne exploatează consecvența în detrimentul nostru: ne face să declarăm că ne plac hainele verzi și apoi ne aduce în situația de a cumpăra 10 rochii verzi de care nu avem neapărată nevoie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-8800085787991437433?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/8800085787991437433/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/influence-cum-sa-convingi-pe-oricine-de_3021.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/8800085787991437433'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/8800085787991437433'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/influence-cum-sa-convingi-pe-oricine-de_3021.html' title='Influence - cum să convingi pe oricine de orice - despre consecvența&#xA;oamenilor'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-1059976054959600241</id><published>2011-02-12T18:51:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.750+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Influence - cum să convingi pe oricine de orice (II)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-size:12px;color:#262626;line-height:1.3;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#fff"&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="padding-bottom:20px;padding-top:10px"&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1;text-align:left;padding-bottom:0px"&gt;    &lt;h3 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;font-size:11px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evernote.com/"&gt;From Evernote:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1.3;text-align:left;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:7px;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#b5b5b5;font-size:11px"&gt;    &lt;h1 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;padding-top:5px;font-size:18px"&gt;Influence - cum s&amp;#259; convingi pe oricine de orice (II)&lt;/h1&gt;       &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="ennote"&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Legea consistenței (I)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Nimănui nu-i plac persoanele care nu-și potrivesc faptele cu vorbele, cele care una fac și alta spun. Asemenea oameni par nehotărâți, confuzi, duplicitari sau, uneori, bolnavi mintal. Dimpotrivă, oamenii care se comportă consistent cu ceea ce afirmă, ne par puternici, raționali, stabili și onești. De aceea, î&lt;/span&gt;n momentul în care luăm o decizie sau exprimăm o viziune personală în mod public, suntem presați emoțional și social să ne comportăm conform declarațiilor noastre, pentru că inconsistența și lipsa cuvântului sunt văzute ca niște trăsături negative.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;“There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Reynolds"&gt;Sir Joshua Reynolds, pictor englez&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;A doua cauză a consistenței este faptul că oamenilor le e lene să gândească și ar face orice pentru a scurta corvoada gândirii. Din moment ce îți trasezi niște direcții prin ceea ce declari, este mult mai ușor să îți urmezi faptele cu vorbele.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ca urmare, dacă vrei să determini pe cineva să se comporte într-un anumit fel, trebuie să-l faci să declare ceva ce susține modul de comportament dorit. De exemplu, dacă vrei să fie amabil și prietenos cu tine, fă-l să declare că se simte bine, că e o persoană deschisă. Dacă vrei să doneze pentru „asociația umanitară” care sprijină copiii din orfelinate, întreabă-l întâi dacă-i plac copiii și dacă ar sprijini acțiunile dedicate lor ș.a.m.d. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-1059976054959600241?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/1059976054959600241/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/influence-cum-sa-convingi-pe-oricine-de_12.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/1059976054959600241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/1059976054959600241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/influence-cum-sa-convingi-pe-oricine-de_12.html' title='Influence - cum să convingi pe oricine de orice (II)'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-5369132498119350174</id><published>2011-02-09T20:29:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.879+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Cel mai mare păcat al managementului este...</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt; Să piardă timpul oamenilor săi.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;De obicei face asta în ședințe - fie pentru că ajunge târziu, fie pentru că răspunde la telefon în timpul ședinței, fie pentru că, pur și simplu, întreaga ședință este o mare pierdere de timp, cu excepția timpului managerului.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ședințele nu sunt de fapt ședințe, sunt niște ceremonii, iar ele îi îi plac managerului fiindcă reprezintă confirmarea, întărirea faptului că șeful e șef, că prezența e obligatorie, că ierarhia se respectă.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Probabil singurele momente în care e nevoie de ceremonii sunt cele în care se anunță oameni noi veniți în companie și cele în care se celebrează rezultatele bune ale unei echipe sau ale unui proiect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Cineva să le spună că, pe lângă faptul că pierd bani, să pierzi timpul unui om în felul ăsta are un efect devastator pentru munca lui, pentru că angajatul, pierde enorm schimbând între taskuri și încercând să reintre în &lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/10/30/sunt-la-birou-dar-lucrezpeopleware/"&gt;flow&lt;/a&gt; - timp care e invizibil pe rapoartele de activitate.

Sau poate e doar vechiul tău prieten care a început în domeniul tău odată cu tine, dar simți că nu ai să mai reușești niciodată să-l prinzi din urmă. E și vina ta, e și vina companiei în care lucrezi - trece timpul și nu înveți nimic.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Experiența se transformă în lecții bine învățate atunci când organizația reușește să-și îmbogățească oamenii cu noi îndemânări și experiențe, ca rezultat al suplimentării capitalului uman. Deci se întâmplă după ce managementul nu mai vede oamenii ca pe niște costuri, ci ca pe niște investiții, după ce înțelege că cel mai important e capitalul uman. La Facebook se spune așa: „people are leverage”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bineînțeles, dacă oamenii se schimbă des în companie, valoarea capitalului uman e redusă, la fel și capacitatea de învățare. Investiția în educarea și instruirea oamenilor pleacă odată cu ei. Învățarea e limitată de capacitatea unei companii de a-și ține oamenii.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dacă &lt;em&gt;middle-managemenul&lt;/em&gt; formează o echipă puternică, dacă lucrează în armonie și comunică suficient, se poate dezvolta un mediu în care oamenii să învețe foarte mult, în fiecare zi.

Nu eu, ci toți cei din jur. Oamenii urăsc schimbarea.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;Când modul de lucru dintr-o companie se schimbă în mod forțat, flăcăul care ținea cel mai bine frâiele vechilor metodologii va deveni un inamic al schimbării pentru că îl împingi să devină din nou novice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ai putea crede că Popescu, cel care stă liniștit și acceptă orice îi bagi pe gât, prăjitură sau scaiete, e cel inofensiv. Indiferența e de fapt cea mai rea, iar Popescu, cel care nu întreabă nimic, merge înainte pentru că și leafa lui merge tot într-acolo. Dar Popescu îți sare în ajutor tot la fel de repede precum se răzgândește în privința asta. Ăsta nu e nici primul, nici ultimul său loc de muncă.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dar nu mai ai timp să te gândești la Popescu, pentru că Georgescu îți sare în cap și se opune militant schimbării, fără a se întreba dacă e bine sau rău. Poate că l-ai scos puțin din zona de confort și a sărit ca ars. El e periculos și va distruge mult pe unde va umbla.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Între Popescu și Georgescu, tu cu cine te aliezi? Păi te aliezi cu Ioneștii, cei care te sprijină, dar te și iau la întrebări. Ionescu Andrei e sceptic, vrea să-i arăți. Ionescu Mihai e observator pasiv, te întreabă cu ce-l ajută pe el schimbarea. Ionescu Ștefan se opune puțin, pentru că e normal să-i fie puțin teamă de schimbare, iar Ionescu Răzvan are un sentiment trecător că-și va pierde din statut. Ce mai încoace și încolo, e clar că Ioneștii te vor asculta și te vor sprijini, deși nu se pot preface că schimbarea le e mare bucurie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;În esență, oamenii nu au suport logic în rezistența la schimbare, opoziția e mai mult emoțională, iar ca să îi încurajezi să se schimbe nu trebuie să condamni vechile căi, ci să le celebrezi și să le explici celor din echipa ta că nu există progres fără schimbare. Dacă nu adopți un mod naiv de a schimba procesele, cum ar fi treci de la o anumită stare de fapt la o alta pur și simplu, obligat-forțat, și mai bine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unul dintre modelele care s-au dovedit utile în stabilirea unui alt status-quo este &lt;a href="http://stevenmsmith.com/ar-satir-change-model/"&gt;modelul Satir&lt;/a&gt; (introdus de &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Satir"&gt;Virginia Satir&lt;/a&gt;), pe 5 niveluri:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vechiul status-quo.&lt;/b&gt; Aici e cald și bine. Lucrurile certe nu te pot speria; chiar dacă nu-ți convine ceva, măcar știi la ce să te-aștepți, chiar dacă sunt probleme, știi să le rezolvi. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Elementul neprevăzut.&lt;/b&gt; Se întâmplă ceva și strică mersul normal al lucrurilor. Un client cere ceva ieșit din comun sau se dorește introducerea unui sistem care să îmbunătățească unele procese, ori se cere atingerea unor obiective mai greu de realizat etc. Prima reacție va fi de rezistență, refuz și negare. E nevoie  de o mână de ajutor prin a le explica oamenilor de ce e nevoie să adopte schimbarea.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haosul&lt;/b&gt;. Este iminent. La început totul va părea mai rău decât înainte. Se știe că în mijlocul lucrurilor, totul pare o mare dezordine, dar nu există cale ocolită. Gândul cel mai de ajutor este că sfârșitul suferinței se apropie.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Practică și integrare.&lt;/b&gt; Oamenii își dau seama că nu e atât de rău. Pe măsură ce vor descoperi beneficiile schimbării, unul câte unul, vor fi din ce în ce mai liniștiți.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Noul status-quo.&lt;/b&gt; Oamenii se află într-o stare de calm, dar ea are o calitate mult mai mare acuma. Sunt alerți și productivi. Cu cât durerea provocată de haos este mai mare, cu atât mai mare va fi și satisfacția atingerii acestui nivel.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;Good luck!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/peopleware/"&gt;Peopleware&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:default;vertical-align:middle" src="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/files/2011/02/5953b4151d015e5357491aed921f955b.png"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-6369718596973713571?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/6369718596973713571/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/mai-bine-mor-decat-sa-ma-schimb_02.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/6369718596973713571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/6369718596973713571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/02/mai-bine-mor-decat-sa-ma-schimb_02.html' title='Mai bine mor decât să mă schimb'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-7963772072157777168</id><published>2011-02-02T20:46:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.943+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Porunca nr. 1 - Comentează codul</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-size:12px;color:#262626;line-height:1.3;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#fff"&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="padding-bottom:20px;padding-top:10px"&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1;text-align:left;padding-bottom:0px"&gt;    &lt;h3 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;font-size:11px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evernote.com/"&gt;From Evernote:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1.3;text-align:left;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:7px;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#b5b5b5;font-size:11px"&gt;    &lt;h1 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;padding-top:5px;font-size:18px"&gt;Porunca nr. 1 - Comenteaz&amp;#259; codul&lt;/h1&gt;       &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="ennote"&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px"&gt;Comentariile trebuie să vină cu informații utile și nu să reia lucruri evidente.

E mai mult de atât, dacă îți este refuzată o  rugăminte, același sentiment de îndatorare îl îndeamnă pe omul rugat să  accepte o a doua rugăminte, pentru a se revanșa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Niciodată nu  trebuie să rogi pe cineva ceva fără a-i explica de ce ai nevoie de  ajutor. Urechile și sufletele oamenilor se deschid ca niște flori în  lumină la auzul expresiei &lt;em&gt;pentru că. &lt;/em&gt;O rugăminte &lt;a href="http://blogs.hbr.org/glickman/2011/01/asking-for-a-favor-the.html"&gt;se face în 3 pași&lt;/a&gt; : se pregătește scena („Aș vrea să te rog ceva...”), se dă un motiv  („pentru că...”) și se evidențiază faptul că nu e nicio problemă dacă nu  poți fi ajutat („dacă nu poți, am să...”)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cineva spunea că &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;civilizația avansează pe măsură ce se mărește numărul de operații pe care le putem face fără să ne gândim la ele&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;Oamenii  preferă să sară etapa gândirii și a argumentației interioare pentru face ceva, de aceea le e mai ușor dacă știu dinainte unde duc  acțiunile pe care le întreprind. Motivele sunt esențiale, mai ales acum  când oamenii se exprimă în general laconic - din grabă sau pentru că nu  știu cum și de ce ar trebui să se exprime altfel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dar  să ne întoarcem la favoruri și la faptul că un om este mai împlinit  când dă decât atunci când primește, iar sentimentul de îndatorare este   un sentiment neplăcut. Mulți dintre noi găsim foarte dezagreabil  sentimentul de obligație. Favorurile mici pe care ni le fac alții ne  fac să ne revanșăm cu niște daruri mai mari, lucru bine cunoscut de  oamenii din vânzări care ne oferă tot felul de testere și cadouri. Dacă  vrei să ceri ceva cuiva este bine să începi cu o rugăminte greu de  acceptat, urmată de o cerere de amploare mai redusă. A doua cerere va  avea șanse foarte mari de  a fi acceptată atâta timp cât prima nu este  într-atât de ruptă din povești, încât celălalt să creadă că facem un  abuz. Adevăratul negiciator știe să facă o primă cerere al cărei refuz  va deschide un șir de concesii pe care cel cu care negociază le va face  pentru a se revanșa.

Într-o zi, a coborât în oraș și s-a întors cu un vânzător ambulant de hot-dogi, cu tot cu căruciorul lui, cu ketchupul și muștarul din dotare.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Se spune că atunci când apare și dezordinea într-o organizație de obicei liniștită, revine senzația de prospețime și crește productivitatea.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sunt binevenite, în sensul ăsta, proiectele pilot - să încerci o tehnică nouă, dar numai una per proiect pilot. Chiar dacă pare ineficient la început, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect"&gt;efectul Hawthorne&lt;/a&gt; își va face simțită apariția în productivitate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Brainstormingurile sunt și ele un element care creează un haos productiv, daca nu se întâmplă prea des. E bine să se pună accentul pe cantitatea ideilor, nu pe calitatea lor. Ideile nu trebuie evaluate in timpul brainstorming-ului - faza de evaluare trebuie să aibă loc ulterior, iar comentariile negative cu privire la ideile expuse trebuie descurajate. Dacă &lt;em&gt;flow&lt;/em&gt;ul ideilor scade, trebuie recurs la gândirea analogică (În ce mod rezolvă natura astfel de probleme?), inversiunea (Cum am rezolva situația opusă?) și imersiunea (Cum ne-am putea transpune noi înșine în problemă ?)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;De asemenea, &lt;em&gt;war games -&lt;/em&gt; simularea unor competiții interne cu seturi de probleme propuse și compararea statistică a rezulatatelor, pot evalua atât punctele forte sau slabe ale angajaților, cât și pe cele ale companiei. Sunt și mai eficiente dacă programatorii sunt organizați echipe. Pe cât de benefice și motivante pentru angajați, pe atât de costisitoare - trebuie asigurare mesele, trebuie gândite problemele / subproiectele astfel încât timpul de rezolvare să corespundă timpului alocat, să aibă milestoneuri și checkpointuri.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Foarte mulți, printre care și facebook, organizeaza &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2234227130"&gt;hackathons&lt;/a&gt; -&lt;/em&gt; se adună într-o seară și încep să programeze cu frigiderul plin de Red Bull și hamburgeri, cu scopul de a transforma o idee interesantă, &lt;em&gt;nice-to-have&lt;/em&gt;, într-un feature real pe site, până a doua zi dimineață. De obicei sunt inițiate de unul dintre programatori, care se va ocupa și cu aducerea mâncării pentru cei care vor să participe. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Iată și un exemplu din &lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/peopleware"&gt;Peopleware&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	&lt;li&gt;&lt;img src="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/files/2011/01/73fcb6274ed49a4cc80c228c3daf177c.png" alt="" width="438" height="779" /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;În rest, lumea este fericită când apar ocazii de training, când pot ieși din birou împreună cu colegii pentru recreere, excursii, conferințe, training.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-605854391213731867?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/605854391213731867/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/01/e-distractiv-sa-lucrez-aici-ba-haos-ba_12.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/605854391213731867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/605854391213731867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/01/e-distractiv-sa-lucrez-aici-ba-haos-ba_12.html' title='E distractiv să lucrez aici - ba haos, ba ordine.

Deși e &lt;a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/cloud/2010/12/dear-david-girouard-maybe-100.php?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+readwriteweb+(ReadWriteWeb)&amp;amp;utm_content=Google+Reader"&gt;încă e instabil&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;em&gt;the cloud&lt;/em&gt; mi se pare soluția perfectă păstratul datelor personale. Cu alte cuvinte, cei de la facebook fac cu siguranță backup fotografiilor mele. Mi-e greu să cred că, în această viață, facebook se poate duce de râpă cu tot cu ele.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Acum un an am descoperit &lt;a href="http://evernote.com/"&gt;Evernote&lt;/a&gt;, o aplicație de luat notițe care venise&lt;a href="http://www.evernote.com/about/trunk/items/sony-vaio?lang=en&amp;amp;layout=default&amp;amp;source=hardware_page"&gt;preinstalată pe laptopul meu&lt;/a&gt; și, ca orice utilizator care o folosește cel puțin două luni, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj-ougERrUQ&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded#!"&gt;nu am mai renunțat&lt;/a&gt; la ea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Țin în Evernote rezumatele tuturor cărților pe care le citesc, liste de cumpărături, liste de priorități, chiar și &lt;a href="http://www.mostlymaths.net/2010/12/dont-wait-for-new-year-to-act-on-your.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+MostlyMaths+(Mostly+Maths)"&gt;New Year's Resolution&lt;/a&gt;, iar tot ce scriu pe blogul ăsta e scris mai întâi în Evernote și apoi &lt;a href="http://weblog.ro/blog/help/post-by-email"&gt;trimis prin e-mail&lt;/a&gt; aici.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Caietele mele se află simultan pe calculatorul meu și undeva pe internet, de unde le pot recupera oricând ca să le folosec &lt;a href="http://www.evernote.com/about/trunk/"&gt;pe alt dispozitiv&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prietenii mei au început și ei să folosească Evernote și, mai nou, avem caiete comune. Unul dintre ei și-a luat un abonament premium fără să citească ce avantaje îi aduce. M-a amuzat pe moment, apoi am aflat că e un obicei al celor care folosesc Evernote - nu cumpără un abonament premium pentru vreun feature anume, ci pur și simplu pentru că aplicația le place foarte mult. Adevărul este că și eu am vrut să cumpăr abonamentul premium, deși nu aș fi depășit niciodată limita de spațiu dată de contul gratuit; n-a fost nevoie pentru că îl aveam deja, dintr-un motiv pe care încă nu l-am aflat. E clar că cineva de la Evernote, sau altcineva, mă iubește, iar dragostea e reciprocă.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Încă ceva, se pare că și &lt;a href="http://blog.evernote.com/2011/01/04/evernote-2010-a-year-in-stats/"&gt;CEO-ul Evernote&lt;/a&gt;, Phil Libin urmează același model modern de a avea succes - &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj-ougERrUQ&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded#!"&gt;spune&lt;/a&gt; că „dacă înființezi o companie pentru a face bani, vei eșua. Important este să-i faci pe oameni mai fericiți, să aduci valoare în viața lor. Iar rata procentuală de conversie nu are nicio importanță. Contează numărul total, nu procentul. Dacă ajungi să faci fericiți un miliard de oameni, e suficient ca unul din 100 să fie convertit la un cont premium.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Long live Evernote!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-5686221850301396812?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/5686221850301396812/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/01/evernote-un-alt-creier-al-meu-si-unul_08.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5686221850301396812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5686221850301396812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2011/01/evernote-un-alt-creier-al-meu-si-unul_08.html' title='Evernote – un alt creier al meu și unul dintre cei mai buni prieteni'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-7082622629351669658</id><published>2010-12-27T21:13:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.921+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Chimia formarii echipelor</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;La un moment dat, un manager de la Xerox a aflat că unii dintre angajați călătoresc cu avionul la clasa economică. Le-a trimis un e-mail în care le spunea așa: Xerox este o companie de primă clasă, iar angajații ei ar trebui să călătorească în consecință.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Într-o organizație sănătoasă, trebuie să existe un sentiment de apartenență la elită. Oamenii au nevoie să se simtă unici. Ei oricum sunt unici și se vor revolta dacă nu sunt tratați astfel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un lider trebuie să reușească să-i facă pe toți să tragă în aceeași direcție și inspiră un obiectiv fiecărei echipe astfel încât nici el, nici altcineva să nu-i poată opri din atingerea lui. El construiește un cult al calității, după principiul că produsele trebuie să conțină toate funcționalitățile promise, în mod complet și util. Chiar dacă pe termen scurt nu se justifică lucrul în sensul unui nivel calitativ superior, pe termen lung e de bun augur, pentru că oamenii nu vorbesc despre produsele livrate la timp sau rapid, ci despre produsele de calitate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;De asemenea, un lider care nu este &lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/12/21/lino-lider-numai-cu-numele/"&gt;LINO&lt;/a&gt; va permite și va înguraja diversitatea, va păstra și va proteja echipele de succes, neuitând vreodată căun manager nu poate face parte din echipă, pentru că echipele sunt oameni care se consideră egali și funcționează ca atare. Cu alte cuvinte, managerul trebuie să ofere o direcție strategică, nu una tactică, pentru că în cele mai bune echipe membrii ei preiau conducerea pe rând, în funcție de punctele forte are fiecăruia: o echipă este structurată ca o rețea, nu ca o ierarhie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-7082622629351669658?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/7082622629351669658/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/chimia-formarii-echipelor_27.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7082622629351669658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7082622629351669658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/chimia-formarii-echipelor_27.html' title='Chimia formarii echipelor'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-5692937517654901699</id><published>2010-12-24T16:13:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.885+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Strategia Open Kimono - Încrederea în oameni produce mult mai mult

Nu este vorba despre managerii care se uită peste umărul angajaților, ci despre cei care au încredere în munca oamenilor pe care ei înșiși i-au desemnat să aibă poziții cheie. Acești manageri adoptă strategia de &lt;em&gt;open kimono&lt;/em&gt; - nu încearcă să se apere de angajați, pentru că, deși e normal să încerci să te aperi de incompetența propriilor angajați, poți trăi cu această teamă numai când tu i-ai ales incompetenți. Ideea că angajații sau colegii tăi dețin expertiza în domeniul lor, că nu poți ști mai multe lucruri decât ei face parte din &lt;em&gt;open kimono&lt;/em&gt; și din expertiza în management, totodată. În același timp, oamenii vor recunoaște expertiza conducătorilor lor în management și în alte domenii, acceptându-i ca manageri, în mod natural.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Managerii catalizator știu că este posibil să producă ceva de succes chiar dacă la început ei nu au încredere în acel produs, pe când inginerii au încredere și vor lăsa echipa să se lucreze uneori izolat de restul companiei - într-o sală de conferințe, la cineva acasă ori într-o stațiune, pentru a-i da autonomie, pentru a o feri de întreruperi și pentru a încuraja întărirea legăturilor din echipă&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Povestea unui experiment&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;O companie a lansat intern o licitație pentru toate proiectele sale. Oamenii trebuia să se organizeze singuri în echipe și să liciteze pentru proiecte. Criteriile de selecție a unei echipe pentru un proiect erau potrivirea oamenilor cu obiectivele proiectului, capacitatea lor de a se completa unii pe alți și faptul că dezordinea creată în efectuarea unor sarcini nelegate de acel proiect trebuia să fie cât mai mică. Surpriza a fost că oamenii s-au împărțit cu succes în echipe, iar proiectele au fost licitate în totalitate, deși se credea inițial că se vor licita numai cele care par foarte interesante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Concluzia este că încrederea în oameni aduce o răsplată care justifică fără echivoc riscul aparent de care este însoțită, fiindcă nu degeaba spunea Goethe:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tratează-l pe om așa cum este și va rămâne așa cum este.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tratează-l pe om așa cum poate să fie și ar trebui să fie, iar el va deveni ceea ce poate să fie și ar trebui să fie.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-5692937517654901699?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/5692937517654901699/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/strategia-open-kimono-increderea-in_24.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5692937517654901699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5692937517654901699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/strategia-open-kimono-increderea-in_24.html' title='Strategia Open Kimono - Încrederea în oameni produce mult mai mult&#xA;decât lipsa ei (Peopleware)'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-8733771446366226009</id><published>2010-12-21T10:42:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.956+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>LINO - Lider numai cu numele</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Acesta este caietul meu de notițe în care scriu un &lt;a href="http://knowledge.insead.edu/contents/FrankBrown.cfm?vid=4"&gt;nou termen&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;LINO - Leader In Name Only&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ca să fii un lider de succes, trebuie să fii aggressive learner.

Mulți ar putea spune că nu se pune așa problema în companiile mici, care nu au renume internațional sau care dezvoltă afaceri locale. Dacă spui asta, nu ești capabil să legi relații de afaceri internaționale. George Haber, unul dintre cei mai de succes români din Silicon Valley,&lt;a href="http://www.wall-street.ro/articol/Success-stories/9741/Unul-dintre-cei-mai-bogati-romani-din-strainatate-George-Haber-face-bani-cu-zambetul-pe-buze.html"&gt;spunea&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;talentul în România e excepțional, dar lipsesc oamenii de business care să aibă o viziune globală&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Deci nu este suficient să călătorești și să citești, trebuie să renunți la&lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/11/12/pe-cine-angajam-peopleware/"&gt;menținerea uniformității&lt;/a&gt; în echipele cu care lucrezi: că e alb sau negru,  homosexual sau nu, coleric sau flegmatic, că știe spaniolă și germană sau doar limba engleză, că a trăit într-un orășel mic de provincie sau a călătorit mult prin Europa, dacă sunt suficient de cultivați și aleși să fie la fel de inteligenți sau mai inteligenți decât tine, oamenii cu care lucrezi trebuie să-ți ofere informații valoroase despre clienții pentru care produci, iar inovația are șanse mai mari să aibă loc într-o echipă care nu gândește convențional.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finalmente, un lider știe că angajații lui merg acasă după serviciu, iar fericirea lor de după program se reflectă în rezultatele muncii. Pe de altă parte, angajații au obligația de a-și informa liderii despre nevoile lor personale, înainte de a-și căuta un alt loc de muncă pentru că nu găsesc sprijin când au nevoie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-8733771446366226009?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/8733771446366226009/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/lino-lider-numai-cu-numele_21.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/8733771446366226009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/8733771446366226009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/lino-lider-numai-cu-numele_21.html' title='LINO - Lider numai cu numele'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-3881050422235767908</id><published>2010-12-21T02:04:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.822+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Cunoștințele tale sunt oamenii pe care-i cunoști, nu lucrurile pe care
le știi (What you know is who you know)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un prieten îmi spunea la un moment dat că nu vrea să-și termine al doilea an de master - a avut suficient succes până acum, a ajuns să lucreze pentru siteurile din &lt;a href="http://www.alexa.com/topsites"&gt;top 3 Alexa&lt;/a&gt;, stabilindu-se de curând la cel de pe primul loc. Cu toate astea, nu l-a întrebat nimeni de școală și e convins că nu-l va întreba nici de acum. „Important pentru mine este să-mi fac cunoștine, uite - oameni precum &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Taylor"&gt;Bret&lt;/a&gt;”. Ceea ce știi sunt, de fapt, oamenii pe care-i cunoști - fiecare dintre ei e demn de o pagină pe Wikipedia, asta e clar, indiferent dacă numele lor se leagă de companii cunoscute de aproape orice muritor sau nu. Pentru evoluția remarcabilă a carierei noastre, trebuie să ne construim și &lt;a href="http://knowledge.insead.edu/contents/Ibarra.cfm?vid=95"&gt;să ne întreținem rețeaua de cunoștințe în trei direcții: operațional, personal și strategic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;La nivel operațional, rețeaua constă în oameni cu care ne finalizăm sarcinile zilnice, oamenii din companie, cu care lucrăm direct - e un tip de rețea sinonim cu poziția de manager.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;La nivel personal, nu trebuie să neglijăm întâlnirile și discuțiile cu &lt;a href="http://hbr.org/2002/06/cultivating-ex-employees/ar/1"&gt;oamenii care ne-au fost colegi&lt;/a&gt;, cu prietenii mai vechi și așa mai departe, pe care avem tendința de a-i neglija, pentru că putem să ne facem munca de zi cu zi și fără ei, uitând că ne vom întoarce acolo dacă vrem să ne schimbăm cariera sau să ne evaluăm în raport cu cei cu care am împărțit o parte din drum.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;La nivel strategic, rețeaua de cunoștințe înseamnă covalență, înseamnă a pune în comun experiență și idei pentru a construi companii, echipe și produse cât mai bune. Pe cât de important este acest nivel, pe atât de neglijat - prețul unui MBA este cel mai bine justificat de faptul că sprijină legături la nivel strategic, care trec hotarele vârstei, ale profesiei și ale naționalității. Pe lângă faptul că pare o pierdere de timp pe termen scurt, cei mai mulți au impresia  că acest lucru are aparente finalități meschine - folosirea oamenilor.

Ideea principală a acestui declin este faptul că în ciuda faptului că și-a permis o creștere neorganică mare, nu a reușit să-și aducă angajații spre urmărirea aceluiași &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/11/28/echipa-jeleu-cum-sa-cresti-echipe-productive-intregul-e-mai-valoros-decat-partile-sale-insumate-peopleware/"&gt;corporate goal&lt;/a&gt;, niciun scop prea înalt, niciun set de idealuri rezistente, niciun fel de viziune despre cum poate schimba lumea. Cu alte cuvinte, a urmărit să câștige superioritate prin vânarea unui avantaj competitiv pe termen scurt.

Zona de confort și zona de potențial maxim nu coincid niciodată, trebuie să alegi mereu între a înota în ape limpezi și liniștite și a ne trăi viața la potențial maxim. După cum &lt;a href="http://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/R/RilkeRainerM/ManWatching.htm"&gt;spunea și Rilke&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Pe acel om nu-l tentează să câștige;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;El crește astfel: fiind înfrânt, în mod decisiv&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;de ființe mereu mai mărețe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Așa cum îmi spunea M. la patinoar - ca să crești trebuie să fii pregătită să cazi, altfel nu înveți lucruri noi. Dacă nu vrei să cazi, nu te dai! Și nu spune nimeni că e ușor. Nu trebuie să-ți placă treptele pe care le ai de urcat, trebuie doar să le urci.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Iar când vrem să ne acoperim urechile, când ni se spune ceva care ne scoate din zona de confort, avem tendința de a face lucruri astfel încât să uităm - unii își verifică e-mailul, unii se fac pur și simplu că nu au auzit - eu adopt o atitudine defensivă și merg mai departe. E la fel ca și cum m-aș preface că nu aud, e la fel de rău.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ce nu te omoară, te face mai puternic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45mMioJ5szc"&gt;Am învățat cele mai multe lucruri eșuând&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-2379789338496683412?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/2379789338496683412/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/cheia-succesului_20.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/2379789338496683412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/2379789338496683412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/cheia-succesului_20.html' title='Cheia succesului'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-1878698157486137105</id><published>2010-12-17T20:47:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.767+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diverse'/><title type='text'>Noutăți de la Facebook - Înregistrarea pe site cu datele din

În schimb există o rețetă prin care te poți asigura că minunatul fenomen nu va avea loc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Rețetă pentru Teamicid&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Managementul defensiv. &lt;/span&gt;Este un normal să ai tendința de a te proteja de incompetența propriilor angajați, dar odată ce ai pornit la drum cu o echipă de oameni, trebuie să ai încredere în iei. Orice decizie pe care o iei împotriva dorinței lor va înrăutăți atmosfera în companie. Nu există un inhibitor mai mare decât neîncrederea în formarea echipelor productive, iar ideea că oamenii au dreptul la autonomie atât timp cât muncesc fără greșeală înseamnă, de fapt, că autonomia nu există. Dreptul de a greși este ceea ce-l face pe un om cu adevărat liber.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Birocrația. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/11/27/sistemul-care-se-vindeca-singur-sistemul-care-se-autoregleaza-peopleware/"&gt;Metodologiile&lt;/a&gt; și hârțogăraia trebuie reduse la minimum.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Separarea spațială. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Fragmentarea timpului. &lt;/span&gt;Oamenii ar trebui sa aparțină unui număr minim de grupuri de lucru. Dacă un om este inclus în patru grupuri de lucru, el va trebui să aibă grijă de un număr de interacțiuni de 4 ori mai mare. Nimeni nu poate face parte din mai multe echipe jeleu. &lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Sacrificarea calității produsului.&lt;/span&gt; Nimeni nu vorbește despre produse de calitate redusă, ci despre produse al căror cost a fost redus. Această metodă distruge încrederea în sine a celui care construiește produsul. Membrii unei echipe care livrează un produs șchiop se pot privi cu greu în ochi și vor încerca să se separe unii de alții și să se ocupe de lucruri de calitate mai mare.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Deadlineuri nejustificate și ordonate. &lt;/span&gt;Un deadline strâns, dar posibil constituie o provocare agreată de oamenii pasionați, însă deadlineurile de genul „trebuie să terminați proiectul X până pe 23 februarie / altă dată imposibilă” fară argumente solide nu vor face decât să demotiveze echipa, pe lângă faptul că nu vor funcționa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/peopleware/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Peopleware&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; – de &lt;/strong&gt;Tom DeMarco &amp;amp; Timothy &lt;br/&gt;Lister – este o carte foarte populară despre proiecte software şi echipe&lt;br/&gt; productive, despre programatori productivi, cultură organizațională, &lt;br/&gt;instruire în companii, managementul echipelor de succes și modelarea &lt;br/&gt;resurselor umane.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-7072639966798921633?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/7072639966798921633/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/cum-faci-sa-nu-ai-echipe-de-succes-in_13.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7072639966798921633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/7072639966798921633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/cum-faci-sa-nu-ai-echipe-de-succes-in_13.html' title='Cum faci sa nu ai echipe de succes in companie.

Dezvoltăm, dezvoltăm, dezvoltăm, dar nu masuram feedbackul decat cu instrumente generaliste precum &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/support/analytics/?hl=en"&gt;Google Analytics&lt;/a&gt; sau &lt;a href="http://www.trafic.ro/"&gt;Trafic.ro&lt;/a&gt;. E destul de dificil, folosindu-le pe acestea, să ne dăm seama de modul în care contribuie o nouă funcţionalitate la creşterea siteului. Nu e numai asta - am aflat acum câteva zile, într-o prezentare, că în România se face foarte puţin&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;customer support&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;Din multitudinea de biţi cu care suntem bombardaţi trebuie&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;să articulăm enunţuri cu sens&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;.

Apoi reia ce i-a rămas util şi generalizează, sistematizează. Rămân cunoştinţele - la unii mai multe, la unii mai puţine. Uneori, rămâne şi puţină înţelepciune. Poate mai multă, la cei harnici care nu se opresc la a structura, interpreta şi evalua. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;img alt="Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom - InformationIsBeautiful.net" height="626" width="550" src="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/files/2010/12/9d423111f79426f97df26e236d776370.png"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/data-information-knowledge-wisdom/"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/data-information-knowledge-wisdom/&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-6908049508753891469?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/6908049508753891469/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/de-la-o-suma-de-biti-la-o-suma-de_07.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/6908049508753891469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/6908049508753891469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/12/de-la-o-suma-de-biti-la-o-suma-de_07.html' title='De la o suma de biti la o suma de principii [GRAFIC]'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-138587911346673495</id><published>2010-12-02T20:30:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.754+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Manifestul agilităţii ( Agile Software Development )</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-size:12px;color:#262626;line-height:1.3;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#fff"&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="padding-bottom:20px;padding-top:10px"&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1;text-align:left;padding-bottom:0px"&gt;    &lt;h3 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;font-size:11px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evernote.com/"&gt;From Evernote:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1.3;text-align:left;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:7px;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#b5b5b5;font-size:11px"&gt;    &lt;h1 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;padding-top:5px;font-size:18px"&gt;Manifestul agilit&amp;#259;&amp;#355;ii ( Agile Software Development )&lt;/h1&gt;       &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="ennote"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;Vom urma următoarele principii:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;Prioritatea noastră este să ne mulţumim clientul prin a-i oferi devreme şi continuu software de bună calitate&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;font face="'Times New Roman'"&gt;Primim cu braţele deschise modificarea cerinţelor, chiar şi foarte târziu în procesul de dezvoltare.

Această echipă are forţă,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;momentum,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;se auto-motivează. Pentru&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;echipa jeleu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt; chiar şi sarcinile plictisitoare sunt un prilej de distracţie şi muncă plăcută. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Echipa jeleu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;  este echipa în care toţi trag în aceeaşi direcţie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;Ca şi echipele de sportivi, în echipa jeleu, oamenii se concentrează asupra unui scop comun, mai important decât oricare altul. Acest scop poate fi de orice fel, chiar poate să nu coincidă cu scopul companiei. Oibiectivul &lt;em&gt;corporate&lt;/em&gt; este greu de impus angajaţilor, oricât de profesionişti ar fi, astfel încât aceştia să creadă cu convingere în el. Pe de altă parte, e necesar ca toţi angajaţii să creadă în obiectivul &lt;em&gt;corporate&lt;/em&gt;, nu numai managerii, nefiind ei cei care livrează produsul. Adesea ai să auzi un angajat de la facebook vorbind despre inutilitatea optimizării premature sau&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/08/26/facebook-twitter-google-codul-fara-buguri-este-cel-nescris-inca" target="_blank"&gt;move fast, and break things&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;sau &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/corporate/tenthings.html" target="_blank"&gt;pe unul de la Google despre un internet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/corporate/tenthings.html" target="_blank"&gt;open&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Care sunt semnele unei echipe jeleu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Are şanse mari să devină echipă jeleu o echipă cu &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/11/17/ma-bucur-sa-lucrez-aici-peopleware" target="_blank"&gt;turnover&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; mic în timpul proiectelor şi al sarcinilor bine definite, în care coechipierii nu pleacă nicăieri până nu şi-au terminat treaba. ( Scriu asta şi mă gândesc la cei doi care stau lângă mine, duminică seara, şi profită de weekend să-şi termine taskurile. Erau şi ieri aici. ) Apoi, echipa pe cale de coagulare este cea în care care membrii au un simţ puternic al identităţii şi al apartenenţei - şi-au luat nume interesante şi merg împreună la masă, de exemplu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Să nu ne speriem dacă o anume echipă are tendinţe elitiste, pentru că e posibil ca ea să fie o echipă productivă, de mare succes. Această echipă, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWAT" target="_blank"&gt;echipa SWAT&lt;/a&gt;, poate fi deranjantă pentru ceilalţi angajaţi, dar trebuie protejată în cazul în care livrează produse de succes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;În final, echipa de succes, pe lângă faptul că poartă în sân plăcerea de a munci, relaţii calde şi pline de încredere, are întotdeauna un sentiment de posesie (&lt;em&gt;ownership&lt;/em&gt;) asupra produsului dezvoltat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Disclosure: Acesta este un rezmat din&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Peopleware-Productive-Projects-Teams-Second/dp/0932633439" target="_blank"&gt;Peopleware&lt;/a&gt;.

Astfel, un grup bine delimitat de oameni se va ocupa cu luarea deciziilor şi cu derularea proceselor creative. Tot în cadrul acestui grup se vor stabili &lt;b&gt;Metodologiile&lt;/b&gt;, adică tot ceea ce curpinde standardizarea şi documentarea proceselor, controlul managerial şi aşa mai departe. Rezultatul va fi un teanc de documente întrun dosar numit generic &lt;b&gt;Metodologii&lt;/b&gt;, care se poate rezuma prin ideea că oamenii nu sunt suficient de inteligenţi astfel încât să gândească pentru ei înşişi şi să-şi organizeze munca. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;Totuşi, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;experienţa în peopleware&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt; spune că dacă&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; oamenii nu sunt suficient de inteligenţi pentru a-şi face treaba, nicio metodologie nu va funcţiona. Problemele care trebuie rezolvate sunt cele de motivare şi de comunicare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;De fapt, pentru cei competenţi, metodologiile impuse pot reprezenta un mare deserviciu. Mai întâi, pentru că metodologiile cer oamenilor să scrie rapoarte şi &lt;b&gt;documentaţie&lt;/b&gt;, iar documentaţia este rareori soluţia, şi deseori problema. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;În privinţa &lt;b&gt;metodelor standardizate&lt;/b&gt;, probabil că ele sunt adesea impuse de către cei care nu ştiu că fiecare operaţie poate fi realizată în mai multe moduri, iar angajaţii trebuie să ştie să aleagă cea mai bună soluţie. Impunerea unei metode standard înseamnă excluderea alteia, care poate fi adesea mai bună.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;Un al treilea rău pe care îl face o metodologie este &lt;b&gt;absenţa responsabilităţii.&lt;/b&gt; Dacă ceva nu funcţionează corect în final, oamenii vor da vina pe Metodologie. E bine de ştiut că &lt;b&gt;oamenii acceptă responsabilitatea dacă li se dă libertate când muncesc, dacă au şi drepturi, pe lângă obligaţii.&lt;/b&gt; Angajaţii se pot alia cu Metodologiile în detrimentul unei companii - în Australia există o formă de protest cu numele &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.psacbc.com/tools-for-members/members/strike-information/work-to-rule-what-does-it-mean"&gt;work-to-rule&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt; muncă după reguli&lt;/span&gt;),&lt;/i&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;cunoscută prin Europa sub numele de &lt;i&gt;grevă italiană&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;Faptul că în mintea unui angajat o Metodologie e sinonimă cu lipsa de încredere în competenţa lui, poate duce la &lt;b&gt;pierderea motivaţiei&lt;/b&gt; de a munci. Obsesia metodologiilor este o altă formă a &lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/06/30/undeva-in-acest-moment-un-proiect-esueaza"&gt;iluziei high-tech&lt;/a&gt; despre care se vorbeşte în primul capitol, pentru că provine din impresia că tehnologia este tot ceea ce contează.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;În ultimul rând, metodologiile împiedică apariţia &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect"&gt;efectului Hawthorne&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, efectul de creştere a productivităţii declanşat de încercarea unui lucru nou, fie el spaţiu, birou, proiect, editor, laptop sau altceva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-8652942862650363979?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/8652942862650363979/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/11/sistemul-care-se-vindeca-singur_27.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/8652942862650363979'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/8652942862650363979'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/11/sistemul-care-se-vindeca-singur_27.html' title='Sistemul care se vindecă singur.

Cu cât vor aborda o complexitate mai mare, cu cât vor scrie mai multe funcţionalităţi pe spatele cutiei, cu atât cred că va fi mai bine - fără a-şi da seama că nu aşa funcţionează lucrurile. Cei mai mulţi oameni operează doar cu e-mail-ul. Deci dacă putem fi doar cu un pas mai departe de acesta, ne descurcăm destul de bine. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The number one competitor we have in our business is not Microsoft, Google, or some other startup somewhere. The number one competitor we have is simple things, like email…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;People are organizing through email. They’re keeping track of their notes through email. They’re doing all this stuff through email. And email is incredibly simple, basically just a text box that you can send to other people or receive.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We have to be just one step above that. Most software developers in our space think they need to be far, far beyond that. The more complex they can be, the more features they list on the back of the box, the better it’s going to be — without realizing that’s not how most people operate. Most people operate just with email. So if we can just be one step above that, then we’re doing pretty well.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sursa: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://abetterwayofwork.com/?p=630675738"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;http://abetterwayofwork.com/?p=630675738&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px"&gt;Related: &lt;a href="http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/11/15/facebook-noul-sistem-de-mesagerie/"&gt;http://luciarux.weblog.ro/2010/11/15/facebook-noul-sistem-de-mesagerie/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-5944845762816812052?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/5944845762816812052/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/11/tendinte-in-internet-i-serviciile_26.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5944845762816812052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/5944845762816812052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/11/tendinte-in-internet-i-serviciile_26.html' title='Tendinţe în internet I - serviciile bazate pe e-mail'/><author><name>Ruxandra Taleanu</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/113016520296254794673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZI-4nkp-LU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACyc/EO0RPMZhkeU/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670162403053084230.post-6627809264632532789</id><published>2010-11-22T16:34:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T21:56:31.909+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Cotele de cautare pe internet</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-size:12px;color:#262626;line-height:1.3;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#fff"&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="padding-bottom:20px;padding-top:10px"&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1;text-align:left;padding-bottom:0px"&gt;    &lt;h3 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;font-size:11px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evernote.com/"&gt;From Evernote:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="line-height:1.3;text-align:left;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:7px;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#b5b5b5;font-size:11px"&gt;    &lt;h1 style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;color:#262626;font-weight:bold;padding-top:5px;font-size:18px"&gt;Cotele de cautare pe internet&lt;/h1&gt;       &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="ennote"&gt;Google sites au 66% cotă în căutare (a crescut cu 0.2% în ultima lună), urmate de Yahoo! sites cu 16.5% (  fix un sfert, în scădere) și Microsoft sites cu 11.5% (în creștere).

La acestea se adaugă costurile invizibile - lipsa de motivaţie a tuturor angajaţilor pentru că sunt conştienţi că vor pleca destul de curând, performanţe reduse pentru că lipseşte un om sau necesitatea ca altcineva să facă&lt;/span&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;overtime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Un lucru obişnuit în companiile cu turnover mare este promovarea rapidă a angajaţilor pentru a-i împiedica să plece, dar în felul acesta nu se ajunge decât la a avea 80% din companie în poziţie de management, intervenind şi principiul lui Peter: într-o ierarhie, un angajat tinde să ajungă pe nivelul sau de incompetenţă maximă. Cu alte cuvinte, un angajat competent va fi mereu promovat, până va ajunge într-o poziţie în care, deşi se vor aştepta performanţe ridicate, aceasta nu se va întâmpla. Principiul Peter generalizat spune că un lucru care funcţionează bine va fi utilizat în moduri din ce în ce mai riguroase până când se va strica. De aceea, uneori un bonus salarial este mai benefic companiei decât o promovare pe altă poziţie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;(În software, principiul Peter intervine atunci când un proiect a devenit mult prea complicat pentru ca inginerii care lucreaza la el sa mai poata intelege clar ce se întâmplă, astfel încât va deveni inoperabil. Este cauzat de lipsa de experienţă a programatorilor, de incompetenţa acestora sau de incapacitatea de a scrie cod simplu şi se previne prin stabilirea unor standarde şi controlul unui grup restrâns de responsabil du arhitectura software.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;De fapt, oameni pleacă ori pentru că nu sunt dedicaţi jobului, ori pentru că au impresia că managementul îşi vede angajaţii ca pe nişte părţi înlocuibile (dacă pleacă multă lume, vor ajunge la concluzia că nimeni nu este indispensabilă), ori pentru că au impresia că sentimentul loialităţii faţă de companie ar fi ridicol - nu poţi fi loial unei companii care nu este loială angajaţilor ei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Companiile cu turnover mic sunt de obicei companii care îşi propun să fie cele mai bune în domeniul lor, companii în cadrul cărora se înfiinţează comunităţi, companii în care există un sentiment generalizat că toată lumea se aşteaptă ca angajaţii să fie longevivi, companiile care investesc în dezvoltarea personală a angajaţilor, companiile care investesc în retraining (în care un secretar a a ajuns un bun manager, în care pare că niciun job nu este un capăt de drum, în care, atunci când e nevoie de anumite abilităţi pentru implementarea unei schimbări, compania oferă sprijin pentru formarea acelor abilităţi).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6670162403053084230-4225672145757047408?l=myevernote.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/feeds/4225672145757047408/comments/default' title='Postare comentarii'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/11/ma-bucur-sa-lucrez-aici-peopleware_17.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarii'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4225672145757047408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6670162403053084230/posts/default/4225672145757047408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myevernote.blogspot.com/2010/11/ma-bucur-sa-lucrez-aici-peopleware_17.html' title='Mă bucur să lucrez aici!
