Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Absolutely brilliant performance by @donnymccaslin.bsky.social at Scena MONK in Gdańsk yesterday - pure joy from start to finish. 021
Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 15/03/2026The human capacity for finding strong ground depends on the ability to be both tough and tender, to be able to lock in and lock through. Anything that sees our human spirit as one or the other is halfhearted.” Brené Brown 001

Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Adrian Newey: “Thirty-five years later, I can look back on an eventful, fruitful career - one spent designing cars and asking myself the same series of simple questions: How can we increase performance? How can we improve efficiency? How can we do this differently? How can I do this better?” 010

Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 12/01/2026“Avoidance will make you feel less vulnerable in the short run but, it will never make you less afraid.” Harriet Lerner 000
Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 12/01/2026“It is not fear that stops you from doing the brave and true thing in your daily life. Rather, the problem is avoidance. You want to feel comfortable so you avoid doing or saying the thing that will evoke fear and other difficult emotions.” 100

Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 19/06/2025“Generative AI is a technology that works well enough for users to become dependent, but not consistently enough to be truly dependable.” 000
Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 11/06/2025We would not. LLMs only repeat things they’ve seen. At any given moment, they can’t go beyond the current state of programming. They don’t learn from the code they produce, if you feed it back in, quality quickly degrades. So they need real programmers writing code not seen before to keep advancing. 031

Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 20/05/2025We are constantly evolving - either learning or unlearning, improving our skills or losing them, maintaining habits or letting them slip away. The game is infinite and it doesn’t have a pause button. 000
Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 19/04/20254/9 This media narrative helped secure Putin’s popularity and, ultimately, his election as president in 2000. However, Berezovsky underestimated Putin’s determination to centralize power. 000
Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 19/04/20253/9 Berezovsky’s media holdings, particularly ORT (now Channel One Russia), were instrumental in crafting Putin’s public image. ORT portrayed Putin as a decisive, competent leader capable of restoring order to a country plagued by economic turmoil and regional instability. 100
Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 19/04/20252/9 His support for Putin stemmed from a belief that the then-relatively unknown politician could stabilize Russia while allowing the oligarchs to retain their economic and political privileges. 100

Paweł Paczkowski @paczkowski.bsky.social · 23/02/2025They fully understand what’s happening and wholeheartedly support it. In their view, it’s a good thing—that’s their perspective. Whether we see it as flawed or even degenerate is irrelevant. What matters is that this perspective exists and currently dominates. This is reality. 000
