Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit - The Book
After reading “Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash”, I decided to look at the original book. It is as good as the successor. IMO reading the original one first even better than just skipping to the new version.

Building Software vs. Building a House
Found this great excerpt in a book:

The Art of Unit Testing – The Book

Breaking Myths
I was chatting with an old mate of mine, Lev Ozeryansky, with whom we graduated together computer science about 8 years ago (man, that was long time ago, but doesn’t feel like that).

Who knows, maybe I am discovering a new hobby in exploring the Z dimension :) Either way, a few pictures worth a long blog post.
