Una sola pregunta para mejorar tu carrera profesional en 2020

Thu, 26 Dec 2019 16:49:00 +0100

El consultor José Miguel Bolívar (@jmbolivar) clasifica los comportamientos productivos en cuatro niveles:

Eficacia es prestar atención a las cosas correctas.

Eficiencia es prestar la atención correcta a cada cosa.

Efectividad es prestar la atención correcta a las cosas correctas.

Equilibrio es prestar la atención adecuada a todas las cosas. Tal vez no muchos directivos y profesionales puedan asegurar que están siquiera en el nivel 1 de productividad, es decir, que están prestando atención a las “cosas correctas”, porque para poder hacerlo, antes hay que decidir de forma específica cuáles son ahora los objetivos correctos en su empresa y/o en su carrera.

The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code

Tue, 31 May 2016 07:49:00 +0100

Have you ever heard of SEMA? It’s a fairly esoteric system for measuring how good a software team is. No, wait! Don’t follow that link! It will take you about six years just to understand that stuff. So I’ve come up with my own, highly irresponsible, sloppy test to rate the quality of a software team. The great part about it is that it takes about 3 minutes. With all the time you save, you can go to medical school.

Los 10 errores típicos de una PYME en materia de seguridad

Sat, 08 Jun 2013 23:06:00 +0100

No cabe duda de que en los últimos años hemos avanzado mucho en Seguridad de la Información. Poco a poco, entre las empresas comienza a implantarse la idea de que la seguridad es un ámbito al que hay que prestar una atención específica e independiente, más allá de lo que muchos consideran ”los informáticos”. Sin embargo, si no es bueno caer en el catastrofismo, no debemos ser demasiado indulgentes: queda mucho camino por recorrer y los avances no siempre se producen a la velocidad a la que, afortunadamente para los delincuentes, serían recomendables o deseables. A diario se producen noticias de empresas u organizaciones con una fuerte inversión en seguridad cuya infraestructura tecnológica es vulnerada, lo que da una idea del desequilibrio de fuerzas existente.

En esta línea, aun persisten muchos errores y creencias que podemos identificar como los diez errores típicos de las PYMEs en materia de seguridad y que marcan el camino a seguir estos próximos años.

I won’t hire people who use poor grammar. here’s why.

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:37:00 +0100

In the same vein, programmers who pay attention to how they construct written language also tend to pay a lot more attention to how they code. You see, at its core, code is prose. Great programmers are more than just code monkeys; according to Stanford programming legend Donald Knuth they are ”essayists who work with traditional aesthetic and literary forms.” The point: programming should be easily understood by real human beings ” not just computers.

And just like good writing and good grammar, when it comes to programming, the devil’s in the details. In fact, when it comes to my whole business, details are everything.
