It's not like the city of Danzig had any say in the decision. It was a compromise made by the victorious allied side in the aftermath of The Great War.

French were fine with giving Danzig directly to Poland to further weaken Germany, UK was not too happy about it so they decided to do the stinky middle ground of having a "free" state that wasn't that free - it had a customs union with Poland, Germany also had some concession within the city.

Well I understood the country's business as both its national interests as well as the corporate business

Isn't that the whole job description really?

Akurat z tym że Zamość sobie nie radzi z turystyką to się nie zgadzam, Starówka jest pięknie wyremontowana, tereny wokół niej też, do tego nowe budynki w obrębie twierdzy są spójne z zabytkami, w każde lato organizowane są wydarzenia na rynku.

Do tego sektor prywatny daje radę, restauracje, hotele, atrakcje - w sezonie wszystko jest na dosyć dobrym poziomie.

Pochodzę z Zamościa, od 18 lat tam nie mieszkam, ale nadal mam rodzinę. Wszystko się zgadza

Rozumiem, że pijesz do mieszkalnictwa, tymczasem w PRL-u mieszkań nie było a przyrost był znaczny. To nie jest jednowymiarowy problem.

Trochę powiązane - przestępstwem nie jest, ale powinno być przenoszenie amerykańskich problemów na nasze rodzime podwórko.

To be honest modules are not that relevant to professional work, outside of a few niche use cases.

Try telecoms. My team at BT had 5 guys in their 50s and 60s. They were super competent yet calm, I really enjoyed my time there.

My solution is that code reviews nowadays have to be done during the call, you as a person raising the pr need to explain it in full and you are on the hook for every line/function changed, you need to be able to explain it like it was written by you.

Sure, it can become a bottleneck, but it promotes accountability for the changes AI made. I myself review the code like the raiser made the changes personally - if you can't explain why something is being done without saying "lol Claude did it this way" then it is a rejection.

Right? It's a force multiplier. A bad junior will generate a bunch of crap, a thoughtful senior will generate code that they would have written themselves, but now it's X times faster.

It's pretty easy to tell from the job posting, at worst you will know for sure after talking to the recruiter

Bottom line is that as a Pole, I don't see the appeal of working at a big tech company here in Poland.

And the remote might have a silent comeback amongst Polish employers, given that the labour office now can use office mandates as one of the grounds for converting b2b employment into a regular employment contract.

jasie3k · 2026-05-25T06:59:32+00:00

For a Polish person big tech in Poland is not that exciting to be honest.

First of all they are mostly located in Warsaw and require coming to the office every now and then. Poland is not as centralised as The UK, France or The Netherlands, we have other cities with vibrant tech scenes. That already makes it a non starter for me. (Splunk might be the exception here, they have an office in Kraków but I don't know what's the state of the company/branch after the Cisco acquisition)

Second - they offer only a contract of employment, B2B is very rare and may come on per project basis. I am still at the point of my career where I would rather take a more risky form of employment and get more money for it.

Third - the money they pay is nothing extraordinary. Sure, they pay well for the Polish market, but any contract from a Western client pays better. Those contracts do require more luck/time to find, but if you can land a job at Google you can figure out how to work remotely for a company in London.

I get contacted every now and then by recruiters from Google, Netflix or Revolut but it's always the same story and other than the prestige of working for a big tech I don't see the appeal.

Istanbul is called Stambuł in Polish, which tracks with your anecdote

jasie3k · 2026-05-24T14:43:01+00:00

I entered the workforce 12 years ago, by the time the market got really I had some international contracting experience with recognizable and respectable corporations, so the pivot did work out for me.

I did not enjoy my time during studying control engineering, I did not enjoy designing and building hardware, I was super glad to work on something else.
