  1. Last night the VSHN team swapped keyboards and Kubernetes for paintbrushes 🎨

    We spent the evening doing 'Action Painting' together and created a bunch of colorful VSHN canvases. Lots of paint, lots of laughs and a bit of creative chaos.

    Great fun and a great reminder that the best teams don't just build platforms together - they also create together.

    Thanks to the lovely team at paintevents.ch/ 👏

  3. Teams rarely break down because of big blowups — they break down because of the silent spaces where trust used to live. The missing steps. The unspoken hesitations. The moments we avoid instead of repair.
    If your team feels “off,” look at the architecture beneath your staircase. Trust isn’t visible… until it collapses.

  4. Day 9 of PETALS advent 🎄

    Christmas absences are real.
    Thoughtful planning and shared expectations keep things calm.
    Today’s prompt digs into it.

  5. 💥 “𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽.”

    That’s what Challenger engineer Bob Ebeling said the night before launch. He was right — but no one listened.

    The disaster wasn’t about intelligence. It was about unresolved disagreement.

    Your team isn’t building rockets, but ignored conflict still causes real damage.

  6. Every year, we take time away from our screens to reconnect and recharge.

    This September, we met in the mountains of Brașov for the 17th XWiki Seminar for a week of collaboration, reflection, and good stories.

    Treasure hunt, hackathons, and campfire talks reminded us why open source starts with people.

  7. Who says remote teams can’t have fun together? 😄 At , we love our flexibility — and our monthly game nights. 🎲

    In the evenings, outside work hours, just for fun and a lot of inside jokes.

External locus of control: “It’s luck or others’ fault.” Leaders may avoid responsibility, keeping dysfunction alive. 🎲

  9. 💥In June, the XWiki team in Iași traded screens for trampolines, arcade games, and laser tag.

    It was a simple reminder that fun together strengthens community more than any team-building theory ever could.

    A special shout-out to the blue elephant plushie that made it back to the office as a trophy.

  10. 🧑‍💻 Remote-first, but still connected.

    This week, our marketing team met IRL in the Iasi office to share ideas, swap perspectives, and enjoy some creative flow.

    We also welcomed our new Marketing Director, Dan Jayes, to Romania for the first time. It’s been a refreshing mix of strategy, bonding, and open-source energy.

    Even in remote setups, face-to-face time matters.

  11. Great software starts with great onboarding.

    Developer onboarding isn’t just about getting someone a laptop and access to GitHub. It’s about setting them up to succeed, contribute confidently, and feel like they belong.

    Here’s why it matters:

    - A poor onboarding experience slows down productivity

    - It creates unnecessary frustration and confusion

    - Worst of all—it risks losing good people early

    Want to get it right? Start here:

    - Pair every new dev with a buddy for the first month

    - Document setup instructions clearly—think README, not tribal knowledge

    - Give them a small, real ticket to ship in week one. This one is crucial. Most developers feel nervous at the beginning because they feel like they aren't contributing to something.

    - Help them understand the why, not just the how

    The best onboarding leaves people thinking, "I made the right choice coming here."

  12. Agile Bible, Verse 5:

    “Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”

    Now tell me, when every process, idea, stakeholder, task, OKR, strategy, tool, framework, micromanagement, team structure, and team requirement comes top-down…

    What exactly are you doing to ensure every individual has the environment and support to deliver their unique value and impact?
    (Spoiler: The value and impact is not equal to your role. Shocking, I know.)

  13. 🎯 How to Burn a Million Euros with a Smile
    The Modern Art of Over-Engineering

    Welcome to tech 2025:
    5 frontend buttons.
    10 roles.
    47 meetings.
    €1M/month burn rate.
    Still no launch.

    "The Product Comes First" Problem
    Sounds noble. Humble.
    Also turns every role into a background NPC quietly agreeing their job doesn’t matter.

    Imagine telling an orchestra:
    "Your instrument doesn't matter, the symphony does".
    Then the clarinet rage-quits.

    💀 Focus is Dead.
    Last seen between:
    "Can we align real quick?"
    and
    "Why don't you behave like I want?"

    You've replaced deep work with:
    🔔 Slack pings
    📆 Calendar chaos
    🧩 Agile rituals
    🧠 1 brain cell split across 8 tools

    But the Jira board? Adorable. 🎨

    When Nothing Ships:
    "Maybe we’re just not Agile enough"
    No Karen, the framework didn’t fail.
    You did.
    With passion.
    And six retros.
    None of which helped.

    💡 What If We Just… Thought?

    Build a 10-person “cross-functional” team
    → Burn €1M/month
    → Everyone owns everything, so no one owns anything
    → Meetings breed like rabbits

    Meanwhile…
    4-person focused teams
    ~€300K/month
    📦 Ship faster
    🧠 Think clearer
    ⚡ Learn and grow
    🎯 Deliver real value

    Bonus: They still like each other.

    Every time a tech person says:
    "Hey, costs? Risks? Waste?"
    Management responds:
    "That's not your concern, code wizard".

    🧠 Radical Thought: Let People Think
    Let engineers engineer.
    Let thinkers think.
    Let humans do what they were hired to do.

    Wild, I know.

    🦄 About Unicorns:
    Not every engineer is:
    DevOps + Infra + Architect + Therapist + Evangelist + Espresso Machine
    And that's okay.

    Some are introverts.
    Some are quiet builders.
    Some are fixing prod right now.

    ✅ Hire for mindset, not magic.
    Stop gatekeeping with 1997 brain-teasers in fake conditions.
    No AI. No docs. No team. No realism.

    This is IT, not Hogwarts.

    🏁 TL;DR
    • Build small, focused teams
    • Respect strengths
    • Trust your people
    • Don’t worship frameworks
    • Let engineers engineer
    • And stop setting fire to your budget 🔥

    You know what's faster than scaling a broken system?
    🛠️ Not breaking it in the first place.

    'An oldie but a goodie,' and evidence suggests it's a lesson that a new generation of leaders needs to hear:

  16. This podcast episode about psychological safety with Amy Edmondson (who actually popularised the term for teams) is a fascinating listen about creating the safe space for team's to truly be their best and humble selves.

    I love her use of the word "accountability" too, not necessarily focusing on the typical negative but embracing accountability as a positive.
