- What is your favorite part of your job and what is your least favorite part of your job? The favorite part of my job is challenging, it's something new, what you have never done before, but need to do now. One story from my previous job in 247labs company. I was interested in mobile development several months ago and I got a project to create the mobile application for one of our client, it was a challenge for me because I have never done it before, I knew only theoretical aspects of it. So it was really hard to study and develop together in one time. But, in another side, it was something new for me and really very interesting. I haven't already worked at this company, but I still continue to learn mobile development and I guess, I will upload my first application in AppStore in 2 months. Least favorite parts of my job: 1) It's bad feedbacks, sometimes it depends on the work result, but sometimes not. For example, my last bad feedback was 3 stars (the maximum is 5). The client didn't provide me any access to the project, so I couldn't make any changes, based on the project specs and I told him that. But he just left bad feedback. It was really sad for me because I tried to have a good reputation. 2) I left my last full-time remote job because I was controlled too much. Maybe it sounds strange, but I had a good salary, good projects, good management, but I was under pressure, the company owner and managers, controlled too much my working space, the special software makes screenshots of my monitor every 10 minutes, I must work 8 hours per day. It looks like normal for the full-time remote job, but it's really too different for the freelance job. So I finally decided to exit the company and come back to freelancing. 3) Sometimes I need more time than I have, so I want to study something new or just work on the current tasks, but I can't, because I don't have time for it, it's typical time problem for freelancers. If you want to be a great freelancer, you need to control your time perfectly.April 20, 201820
- Have you had a bad experience in the doctor office? Have you had a bad experience in the doctor office? I can't remember any bad experience in the doctor office, but it doesn't mean that I haven't had it in general :) I'm living in a time of changes of the Ukraine medical system. We have a big baggage of the past experience from the USSR medical system and we want to increase it to the new level, which should fit the best medical practices and services. We do not have a medical insurance. You can make personal medical insurance but it's really not popular and I didn't know anybody who did it. Our medical system is very corrupted, I mean state medicine. we have an illusion of a free medical service for everyone, but if you really want to get good service, then you must give a bribe. It makes me sad and my choice is private medical service, it's much more expensive, but you get a chance to have better service and you don't need to give any bribe, it's an official payment. As I said, now we'are in a time of changes and the person who tried to implement these changes is Uliana Suprun. She is our Minister of Health who was born in the USA and was a doctor there, the mother was from Ukraine and the mother tried to give her Ukrainian traditions from the young years. So Uliana makes her best to change our medical system, it's the hard way because a lot of oligarchs should lose their medical businesses and every new medical reform has lots of blocks. But I think we do it and get a better medicine.April 6, 201810
- Advantages and disadvantages of social media We all had been fully swallowed up by social media many years ago... It has been started about 10 years ago for me. The distribution of internet grew up from year to year. I had dial-up internet connection on my first PC, it was expensive and so slow. I was using it mostly for my school homework, but it was the first time when I tried to chat with others via chat-sites and forums. Chats and forms were the very first prototype of social media. it wasn't a problem because it was really hard to stack on the chat or form for a long time. We have internet everywhere now, on your PC, phone, TV, watch, it didn't integrate on your mind, but I think it will be soon... It's good to have all the people knowledge always near you, but How we want to use and how are we use it now? Are you prefer hiking with your friends or Instagram surfing? Social activity is good and interesting, but it's not a real life, you can't get so much pleasure from it, instead of real activity, like fishing with your father or playing football with your old friend. You can be involved in some your friend's events via photos, videos, but it's not real again. In another side social media is a good way to learn all that you want via YouTube, for example. I get a lot of information for my English, for my work as a developer. I'm always in touch with my friends, who lives far from me now or with my parents when I'm traveling. I have been involved in 21-day healthy food period on Instagram now, and I like it :) I'm using Twitter to get al the news from different people who're the great developers. So it depends on you, social media is developed to waste your time, but you can control it, just try to do it. I don't want to replace the real life by internet social life. I'm trying to limit my time with social media to save time for my family, for my friends, for my real life.March 1, 201800
