Some time ago Kuba Dobroszek and I had a discussion on how – as a founder – I perceive business angels, what I expect, what I can offer. I was glad to see some of my thoughts included in Kuba's recent cover story of My Company Polska 😍 TL;DR: - business angels can be excellent partners in niche sectors - they usually offer access to know-how and top-level network - smart money does exist - BAs make outstanding ambassadors when you start thinking about an exit - a dedicated whatsapp group is a decent hack for keeping everyone up-to-speed Happy to hear your thoughts on this. PS. Thanks for the talk Kuba! Cheers Daniel Wieczorek, Adam Weber, Eva Galant, Paulina Wardega, Przemek Kowalczyk, Szymon Sypniewicz, Karolina Borner, Dominik Olszewski, Kamil Osiecki, Dorota Dardzinska, Volodymyr Turchak, Damian Strzelczyk #vc #businessangels #digitalacceleration

On May 8th, the WarsawJS Meetup #114 is happening, so it's high time to present the scheduled talks. The first one, opening the event, is a real gem! 🥇 The first speaker to grace our stage is the magnificent Tomasz Ducin! Tomasz is a developer, architect, and independent consultant at Ducin IT Consulting. He is a co-founder of the architekturanafroncie.pl website, which aids development teams in improving the overall quality and architecture of their systems. He is also the creator of the site. He advocates for sensible and long-term solutions for the JS ecosystem and criticizes the overuse of trendy terms. He has experience in both frontend and backend development. As a trainer, he is passionate about explaining how things work and focuses on questioning whether they are necessary or not. A former theater actor. Probably addicted to coffee, definitely addicted to music. And what will he talk about? 👨‍🏫 Back in the game: Recent Revolutionary Changes in Angular 👨‍🏫 Angular has been perceived as a rather complex framework by some, yet it's used massively by enterprise-scale systems. Whether we agree with the criticism or not, the framework is undergoing a monumental transformation. In recent months, Angular is experiencing a period of frequent and significant updates and - at least considering previous years of stagnation - groundbreaking changes. These include not only the features, public API and architecture, but also the mental models that developers come up with.

For the third presentation at WarsawJS Meetup #116, it's worth staying until the end. We guarantee you won't be disappointed! 👍 The third to take our stage will be Przemysław Konefał — Lead Frontend Developer at Neuraum Ventures GmbH. Przemysław has a business-oriented mindset and over 6 years of commercial experience. As a T-shaped developer, he is familiar with backend development, DevOps, and data work. He specializes in Web Vitals and website performance optimizations. A philosopher by passion, sports are his second nature. So, what will he share with us? 👨‍🏫 Simplicity in the spectrum: Identifying and overcoming overengineering 👨‍🏫 One of the main pillars of maturing as a developer is mastering the skill of striking the right balance between underengineering and overengineering. This session aims to equip developers with a systematic approach to dealing with the latter. We'll explore the common reasons that drive developers to overshoot their solutions, particularly in the realm of frontend development. Then, we'll discuss the signs and in-code symptoms of unnecessary complexity. In the end, we'll dive into useful heuristics, mental models, and thought filters to refine our approach to project complexity, to find that sweet spot more consistently.

During DrupalCamp Poland 2024, Grzegorz Pietrzak highlighted the widespread adoption of Drupal CMS across major cities and capitals worldwide. Cities like London, Barcelona, Dublin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Munich, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Bogotá, Delhi, and notably my hometown, Szczecin, are enhancing their digital presence through Drupal's transparency, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Key highlights: ➡ Drupal's open-source nature promotes transparency and innovation, making it a preferred choice for public-sector websites. ➡ Drupal's extensive use, from the EU to the Americas and Asia, highlights its effectiveness in meeting diverse community needs. ➡ Drupal facilitates cost savings and scalability for city websites, which is essential in managing dynamic content and large user bases. If you're interested in how Drupal and other CMSs shape city websites globally, please review the presentation and the detailed data on these platforms. #DrupalCampPL #Drupal #DigitalGovernance #GovTech

The owner of AiO - one of the biggest ecommerce sites in Latvia, found me through mutual friend. For years he was trying working with different local agencies to be disappointed again and again. He came to me with the same problems that almost every business owner face. I know that, because I've worked with more than 200 different businesses during my time in Google. 🥁 And the problems are: 1. Business. Agency is unable to speak and think in terms of business outcomes 2. Strategy. Agency acts like a campaign setup function unable to provide strategic advice to management. 3. AI & Measurement. Ignorance results in a very weak understanding of Machine Learning mechanics which leads to excess granulation and bad measurement. ❤️ It's okay to have problems, we in Reformance - A Google Ads Agency understand business owners. ❤️ We understand how much effort it takes to build even a small business. ❤️ We understand Google, because Henry-Jörgen Rautits and I spent 8 hours helping clients and another 8 hours learning how Google AI operates (daily) during our time in Dublin 👉 For AIO in less than 2 months we completely restructured campaigns and overhauled measurement. Imitated shopping without shopping (we don't have shopping in Baltics) 💵 Compensated our monthly subscription with growth. (costs +40%, ROI x2) Reach out to us if you have doubts about the work of your Google Ads and let's chat. #googleads

WarsawJS Meetup #114 is fast approaching, so let's get to know the second lecture of the upcoming event. It's safe to say we're not letting off the gas pedal! 🚗 Presenting the second talk is Michał Trojanowski - Product Marketing Engineer at Curity. Michał has over 10 years of experience working as a programmer in various technologies and programming languages. He's no stranger to topics related to backend, frontend, API interfaces, or mobile applications. It's precisely these experiences that have allowed him to transition to his current position, where he helps people better understand authentication, OAuth, OpenID Connect, and JWT. He eagerly shares his knowledge on identity and security-related issues. What knowledge will he share with us? 👨‍🏫 Securing Single Page Applications Using The Token Handler Pattern 👨‍🏫 Single Page Applications may seem simple at first glance. Web developers provide a superb user experience, and it's relatively easy to implement token-based security in the browser. However, this goes against current best practices for browser-based apps, and security concerns can become a significant issue. Instead, it's recommended to implement a Backend for Frontend (BFF) to mitigate browser threats. Yet, this often leads to adopting website technologies to issue secure cookies, which may conflict with other web architecture goals. In this talk, I will demonstrate how separating web and API concerns can lead to the best solutions. I'll introduce the Token Handler pattern — Curity's variation of the Backend For Frontend approach. Additionally, I'll showcase the open-source projects we've created to facilitate the implementation of this pattern.

‘Mission Impossible’ for a lot of Ukrainian companies nowadays is to get rid of the Russian software without much loss. For ages, these programs laid the foundation for many operational processes of our business, and we realize that switching to any new software is a long run. In order to reach a finish line, we have to join forces of three main players: the government, which should provide legislative basis for changes; Ukrainian developers that have to ensure the efficient and easy migration; and the users who have to pluck up the courage to change.  The discussion on how it all should be implemented could carry on forever. I suggest a ready-made vision in my Ukrainska Pravda column:  https://lnkd.in/g6fUZUAZ

We knew we wanted more than building marketing websites before we even started Webnomads - Webflow Design & Development Studio. That is not our endgame, even though we enjoyed every day of it. Since day one, we dreamt of creating full-blown software products with no-code tools. The thrill of web apps and startups got us hooked years ago. For the past years, we've been on a mission, constantly exploring different no-code tools. And exactly one year ago, we took the plunge with Bubble, a no-code platform that lets anyone build web applications. Sure, the learning curve was steeper than Webflow, but we were all in, ready to make it part of our tech stack. Fast forward to today: we've already delivered several projects using Bubble and are chatting with early-stage startups about this game-changing technology. Bubble lets us whip up MVPs in just weeks. Startups can test their ideas, get market feedback, iterate fast and wow VCs. Oh, and a little secret... we're gearing up to launch our own product soon. Can’t wait! Filip Załęski will be sharing our journey at the Poland Bubble meet-up, organized by the awesome Tomasz Wesolowski, who has been instrumental in helping us master Bubble and maximize its potential. Come join us! And we're just getting started.

📊 My Insights: 2023-2024 Ukraine IT Industry C-Level Salary Analysis As the CEO of INDIGO Tech Recruiters, I'm proud to present our 4th yearly salary analysis for C-level executives in the Ukrainian IT industry. This comprehensive review brings to light compensation trends, crucial for understanding our competitive landscape. Important Note: In Ukraine, it is customary to discuss monthly salaries post-tax. The figures mentioned are net amounts, after a typical 5% tax. Key Findings: 1. Gender Inequality: There's a persistent gap, with men earning $7500 vs. $5000 for women. At the same time, it should be noted that the salaries of top managers can vary significantly depending on the position. For example, one of the highest-paid positions - CTO - is predominantly held by men in Ukraine, while the least paid, HRD, is held by women. 2. Age Influence: Highest earnings are found in the 35-39 age group, with $7250 median salary. 3. Sector Impact: Leading sectors include MedTech, GameDev and AI/ML, while AR/VR shows lower earnings. 4. Company Size: Larger companies boast higher median salaries, with the largest at $7750. 5. Management Location: US-managed companies offer a higher median of $8000, versus European and Ukrainian managed companies - 6000$. 6. Reporting Structure: Executives with over 15 direct reports command a median salary of $10000. 7. Role Specifics: This is a significant factor in salary formation, where CTOs receive the highest median salary ($10000), unlike CEOs ($8400) and other key executive roles. 8. Most Common Benefits: Include flexible scheduling (65%), medical insurance (47%), and payment for further education (46%). 9. Demotivating Factors: Include insufficient salary (37%), a culture of distrust, and insufficient freedom in decision-making (both 25%), emphasizing the importance of corporate culture and competent management for employee satisfaction. 10. Work Format: A preference for hybrid work and remote. It's intriguing to compare these findings with the European and Swiss open salary survey reports, providing a broader perspective on the IT sector's dynamics.

Departing for Krakow and the LambdaDays conference where I'll be speaking how it's not only possible but desirable to create full stack web applications in #fsharp adopting the core principles of functional programming with data, types and values. Are you creating web applications today using JS / TS, React and .NET technologies? All of these popular technologies play beautifully with the FP paradigm.
