Lack of interest to vote

In Bulgaria, there will be the 5th political elections in 2 years time span.

What I observe about the politicians is that they don’t care about the people. They reach out to their core members, but what about the people don’t know them or which their needs are not being taken care of by the political party?

The reality is simple, only 40% of people vote and the rest don’t trust the process. This is actually an interesting point, because friends from Russia also mentioned the same effect.

Also, one of the Bulgarian parties, also called the Bulgarian Socialist Party, got fewer and fewer votes after each election. The main reason is that the leader and the leadership team refuse to take responsibilities for their actions and stay in power, where the rest of the party members want a change.

This shows that leaders who only look after themself and lack any other skills might stick to top positions for a while, but they will only drag the political party to its grave.

Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
