For engineers and technical managers · «Курс по распределённым асинхронным системам»
A walkthrough of async and event-driven systems: queues, delivery guarantees, consistency, and the failure modes where “fire and forget” stops working. Practical material for people who design or lead these systems in production.
Hiring ops on free tiers · «Бесплатные инструменты автоматизации рекрутинга»
How to build a working hiring loop without a heavy ATS: calendar slots with Google Calendar, candidate forms into Sheets/CRM, vacancy promo pages, a step-by-step hiring funnel, templated emails and reminders, a single pane for tasks and contacts, a virtual phone number and call recording. Free tools as the baseline; paid services only as optional late extras.
IT-Events / IT-Challenge series on @IT-Head
Long-form conversations with practitioners: product, funds, AI inside team operations. Host format — not a guest talk, but a series where the guest unpacks a working operating loop. Individual episodes are also listed above under “As host”.
