What 45 managers and 45 students did to a virtual African tribe, and what it says about the way we manage everything else.

With billions of dollars!

Finish a project in 2 days instead of 10, and you earn x5 less for delivering the same client value.

Before AI, this was a design flaw.

After AI, it is a business-model crisis.

AI makes you faster. More productive. More capable. You can do in hours what used to take days. One developer can produce what once required a team. So here’s an uncomfortable question: if AI makes your work so much more valuable, why are you earning less? A Nobel Prize-winning economic theory from more than 50 years ago might have an answer.

Losing a job is hard.

Not only because a salary disappears. Work can hold much more than that: a routine, a community, a sense of competence, a story about where your life is going. You build a career carefully, one project and one difficult conversation at a time. Then, sometimes, a decision made elsewhere brings it to an abrupt stop.

A few days ago at Agile Poznań, we discussed a controversial topic: choosing safe work in a corporation versus the challenge of building your own business. It was one of those deep, meaningful conversations that stuck with me for a long time. We generalized this dilemma into a question, borrowed from Jacek Walkiewicz’s famous TED […]

Hopefully, it may be useful to some of you as well.

More than twenty years ago, Peter Gabriel wrote a song that quietly predicted the world we live in today. A world where information never stops, and truth becomes much harder to recognize. Signal to Noise was written before social media, before algorithmic manipulation, before digital propaganda. What begins as a reflection on music slowly turns into a deeper question: what is truth today?

The Mood of the Year Since it has already become something of a tradition, the photo of the year was taken with a drone. For me, it reflects the mood of the entire year. This year feels like one long autumn. A slow, beautiful sunset of an industry after decades of intense and crazy growth. […]
