The life of a Manager
I’ve taken a look at the famous book The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. It’s a must-read for every manager who wants to think like an entrepreneur. The book is neatly divided into three sections: Vision, Steer, and Accelerate. I’ve found it as a recommended read in several articles, and it’s currently holding a strong 4.6-star rating on Amazon from over 10,000 reviews.

This guide will provide you with a structured approach to conducting tech interviews, from preparing questions to providing feedback.
Start by understanding the candidate’s motivation for being a developer. Their reasons will give you insights into their passion, dedication, and potential for growth.

A few months ago I wrote an article in Web Performance Calendar, one of the most famous performance websites in the past 10+ years.
It is created and maintained by Stoyan Stefanov and his idea for the calendar is simple: from December 1st till December 31st, publish 1 new article every day. It is an archive of high-quality, long and containing tips, ideas and insights articles.
And my article was Case Study: React partial SSR with SFCC
I was curious what is the speed performance of Vbox7.com website, a vastly visited website in Bulgaria. Vbox7.com is video platform just like Youtube.com but only with Bulgarian content.

Based on that I decided to not spend too much time and do quick performance analysis on the website.
The project that caused this article is React and headless architecture, a lot of API calls are returning JSONs.
We had a problem, sometimes we had white page because of a lot of JS errors.
