We have opened a batch of vacancies for SAP Commerce developers, some of which are [still] not public. If there are strong candidates ready to change jobs, please recommend them. At the very least, strong Java developers wanting to gain a new “qualification” will do—we’ll train them! Write to me, I’ll help you navigate.

Our clients are Western companies with a great potential for relocation. Under current conditions, it’s hard to guarantee anything about relocation, but it’s also hard to find a bigger opportunity than this to get a foothold. Write to r.aliev@gmail.com or here on FB

/Recording of my webinar; the first half is general (read—philosophy), the second is for developers/

You are a Java developer and the word SAP scares you? Sounds familiar! For a long time, platform vendors preferred to create closed communities because it kept consultancy fees high. The world has changed, and things are no longer the same.

With this brief “introduction to the profession,” I want to broaden your horizons and even try to engage you with the topic of developing for SAP Commerce. I’ll discuss what it means to be a programmer and an architect with both joyful and sad examples. And if fate suddenly throws you into a project on SAP Commerce in any role, you will at least understand our work better. You must agree, this is a very valuable skill for a programmer and an architect, right?

Today at 2 p.m. Moscow time, I have a webinar “SAP Commerce Developer (aka Hybris). A View from Java, Technologies, and Career Perspectives”.

I arrived in Moscow tonight. I discovered that I didn’t bring an adapter for American plugs. I started making one myself, using electrical tape and an old plug. While I was doing this, Nadia turned on a hairdryer, and it blew the fuses. An inspection showed that the fuses were not to blame. You can’t call an electrician at three in the morning, so I had to wait till morning. In the morning, they shut off the water in the entire district. The electrician nearly fixed everything, there’s still no water, but I just managed to cobble together an adapter out of crap and sticks and it even works.

Register if you’re interested. Registration is still open.

Just now, news passed that the trials (phase three) of the vaccine from AstraZeneca (in collaboration with Oxford) have been suspended due to a serious side effect in one of the volunteers. I will remind that it is made based on an adenovirus from monkeys, because half of us already have immunity to human adenoviruses. More about the platforms can be found in a good article (attachment).

With vaccines based on adenoviruses (of any kind), there is also a problem that they will become quite ineffective in a few years in relation to those who received them earlier (irrelevant whether it was COVID-19 or not). After the first vaccination, the body develops immunity against the vaccine itself, so if it worked the first time, it is unlikely to work the second time because the body will kill the vaccine before it can start to work. RNA vaccines (like the one Moderna is making) do not have this disadvantage, but they have another problem: their drawbacks are yet to be seen in the first human trials.
