Fragments

I'm a fairly calm person as long as everything goes to plan. So my main job is to make sure everything goes to plan.

I like turning chaos into a system. Which is probably why, at some point, even my system for organising tasks starts to need its own system for organising it.

I can spend a very long time figuring out something most people don't care about at all. Simply because I need to understand how it works.

I don't like pointless work. Probably even more than I dislike work itself.

If a problem can be described, broken into parts and its causes traced, I already feel much calmer.

I'm a fairly demanding person. Towards myself first; everyone else just got unlucky.

I don't consider myself someone who knows how to rest. Even when I'm doing nothing, my brain sometimes keeps holding a meeting without me.

I need to understand why we do something. "That's how it's done" is almost never a good enough explanation for me.

I like arguing, but not to win. I like the moment when a conversation produces an idea that none of us had before it started.

I can spend hours discussing the colour of a button and then read about the heat death of the universe in the evening.

The more I learn, the fewer things seem clear-cut to me.

I like surrounding myself with people who are stronger than me in their own fields. Then you get the feeling that together we really can do something none of us could do alone.

At work I forgive mistakes easily. Indifference is much harder for me to accept.

I have no wish to build the biggest studio. I'm far more interested in building a studio I would want to be a client of myself.

I don't handle pointless calls well. If a conversation could have been two paragraphs of text, somewhere in the world one Artem is sad right now.

To me, a good leader isn't someone who knows the answer to every question. It's someone the team can find those answers with.
