WORK RELATIONSHIPS AND RESULTS?

Relationship that is based on focusing on results and then strengthening it as you taste success together after some tough times.

Relationship that is established with relationship in mind first without focusing on results as the primary catalyst.

There are leaders in both sides of the camp depending on your professional leadership style you may gravitate towards one of these a bit more.

Process is the third driver in the picture and some leaders tend to gravitate towards this.

Understanding or having this topic formalized is a good step forward for a leader in this fast-paced world where we need to learn every day.

I recently attended a leadership workshop that formalized a lot of this. The name of the workshop was “Facilitative Leadership” and it covered much more.

Thank you for reading this article.

Teaching kids the importance of information security — A simple fun example with encoding/decoding

Teaching kids about information security is very important today because the social network websites and applications are blurring the line between what should be shared securely and what not. Everybody is busy over-sharing the good, bad and ugly over the internet and in the process of doing that forgetting the basics of information security or never taking the time to learn it. Or is it that nobody is introducing these concepts in school? It is something that needs to be introduced in our education systems from early days. Do you remember the days when we used to send those short messages on a piece of paper in our classrooms? Some encoded those messages because you did not want another person in the middle to open it and understand what it says. How were those messages encoded? The simplest example is: You create a simple mapping for each letter and number in the alphabet. Then you encode your message and write it on a piece of paper. Then the person on the other end decodes...

Authenticity (some quick thoughts)

It is the authenticity of certain individuals, their approaches, and how they let their energy radiate within the team. Recognizing their authenticity is the key to success. Almir Mustafic

Daylight saving time and A Software Engineering state of mind ?

You may be wondering what the Daylight saving time has to do with a software engineering state of mind. When thinking about writing this article, at first I thought to start with the following joke and I am: “ Did you know that the Daylight saving time was started because a software developer coded a function that does smart timezone and configurable calculations and then this developer created a problem to solve to use the algorithm; hence, the Daylight saving time was born. ” This is a joke, but on a more serious note , this brings me to a state of mind in software engineering that make this joke a reality to some degree. How many times did we find ourselves in situations where we learned something new in programming and we looked for ways to apply it at any cost? How many times did we see a cool new feature from a creator of a framework and we decided to use it even though that was not the right solution for the problem or maybe there was no problem to solve in the ...
