Haabersti risti sündroom

-
Haabersti ringtee oleks pidanud juba ammu ümber ehitama valgusfooridega ristteeks...., aga seda ei tehtud. Ei tehtud seepärast, et millalgi otsustati, et tegelikult oleks targem sinna rajada mitme miljardi eest mitmetasandiline risttee. Raha aga ei ole siiamaani, ei paista teda ka kuskilt ja seetõttu kõik seisab. Kui mõni ummikus istuja või judoklubi omanik ajalehes protestib, siis on otsustajatel hea viidata, et midagi ei ole mõtet teha, sest tulevikus rajatava mitmetasandiline risttee ehitamise käigus lammutataks praegune ehituse ära.

Sarnase nähtuse otsa komistame me tihti ka tööl. Kuskil taamal kumab mingi suur projekt või arendus, mis parendab suure hulga muresid, muudab tööprotsessid õigeks, arendab välja head ja uhked infosüsteemid. Kõik räägivad sellest ja loodavad sellele. Mis aga paha on on see, et seetõttu hoitakse kinni väiksemaid arendusi selles samas valdkonnas.... neid ei ole ju mõtet teha, sest suur arendus tuleb ja teeb kõik heaks.

Minu kogemus näitab, et enamikel juhtudel "Suurest arendusest" ainult räägitakse, ta on liiga kallis, töömahukas, aeganõudev ja keeruline, et keegi julgeks teda ette võtta. Kui ta siiski on ette võetud, siis tema tulemus ei ole see, mida temalt loodeti.

Nii, et tehkem väikesi arendusi! Suurt arendust nii kui nii ei tule ja kui ka peaks tulema, siis on lihtne seal ära kasutada vahepeal tehtud väikeseid arendusi.

Ärme jää terveks eluks ringtee järjekorda ummikusse seisma.

Misconceptions regarding electric cars

EU's Fit for 55 plan includes quite ambitious emissions reduction targets for the car industry and this has initiated a big discussion in the industry and among thought-leaders. I would like to point out two topics where our thinking tends to go wrong and where looking at the wider picture makes sense Let's think wider than just switching the power source from internal combustion to battery-electric. Here is a photo of one of the first cars made. It is a 1896 Arnold Benz, whose driver Walter Arnold received the worlds first speeding ticket for driving 13km/h with it. As you can see the car looks like a horse carriage minus the horse. It was only a few decades later that cars were considered to be cars and not horse carriages with engines and could therefore be designed differently. At present day we have a similar problem and are stuck in the thinking that an electric vehicle must be a car where everything must be otherwise the same only the engine to be a battery powered elect

How to move to Estonia Guide (for ICT consultants, specialists....but for others also)

-
The information in this post and the links were updated on 18th of July 2014. In my opinion Estonia is a good place for IT specialists to find a job and work in! Especially in the situation when the (youth) unemployment is rising and in many European countries there is no sign of it easing.  I promoted the idea to the Estonian IT companies in one of my recent posts . With this post I want to give my contribution to the exchange of talent inside EU. I hope this helps at least a few people.  This post is definitely not an official guide, but more of a friendly advice. If you have any questions regarding moving or any important information that could help others then please comment this post!  This post focuses on moving to Tallinn. Tartu, as the second biggest town in Estonia, is also an alternative with Playtech and Webmedia as the biggest IT sector employers there. The first thing you need is a job .  If you are an IT specialist with a university degree there is a good chance

Last mile delivery revolution in Estonia

The revolutions that change the government tend to be noisy and bloody affairs, but the revolutions in technology and economics happen rather silently. This is because true technical revolutions happen when people start to take a new phenomenon as a normal everyday thing and don't even notice that they changed their behaviour. And one such thing is now happening in Estonia - the radical change in the last mile delivery. As an indicator, here is a list of changes that have happened in the last 5 years: There are now 3 parcel terminal networks operating in Estonia. Omniva, SmartPOST and DPD. Therefore there is competition and prices are driven down. Most E-shops are integrated with some or all of them. There are at least 5 online grocery supermarkets that offer home delivery: Selver, Coop, Fresh and Go, Barbora (the shop previously known as Maxima) and Prisma. One of the latest innovations is done by Coop, who offers grocery lockers that are refrigerated and to where you c
