Hello

I'm Konstantin Petrukhnov.

Lot of my free time I spend on various experiments. Some projects involve collaboration with other people. This website is created to help other people better understand me and find ways to work with me.

One of the most important things in co-creation, is to understand the values of others. Here are my values.

My MBTI personality type is INTP

“Seek to develop logical explanations for everything that interests them. Theoretical and abstract, interested more in ideas than in social interaction. Quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable. Have unusual ability to focus in depth to solve problems in their area of interest. Skeptical, sometimes critical, always analytical.”

This page describe great games that motivated me to walk/cycle more.

Ingress (old one)
- Coop, pvp, trans-continental collaboration, user generated content.
Color Planet Resources
- Great coop with local friends, motivate to go further away, too much grind in the end game.
Resources
- Some pvp, grind required, requires lot of time at the beginning.
Off Grid
- Single player, build district sized base (or bigger), lot of revisiting same places.
Magic streets
- Mostly single player, become repetitive quite fast.
Run Empire
- Single player, after few months lack of content, motivate to go further away.
Domination Earth
- Mostly single player.
Primitive Village
- Single player, base building, not tied to single location.
Expand
- Team based PvP, very long waiting times, could be fun if walking together in group of 3-4 people.

My tools

Here are a few examples of how my tools help me in day-to-day work. This page is about me and my behavior.

Kindness

Daily work should be interesting and joyful for every team member most of the time.
Helping people to experience positive feelings through reducing stress helps them to act positively and in a good way.
I respect people by default, and let them know my intentions before I execute my actions.
I greet people every time I meet them (mornings, calls, meetings, neighbors).
When I ask “How are you doing?”, I'm truly interested in how you are doing.
Conflict is an opportunity to learn new things. No matter how deep conflict goes I try to provide a ladder to get out of emotional pit.
I help my colleagues to learn new technologies and assist them when they are stuck.
I will not laugh on your stupid jokes, but I will lend you a hand when needed and don't ask anything in return.
I give compliments in code reviews. E.g. “comments here helped to better understand what code is doing”, “this function is really good, and doesn't have any external dependencies, so it could be easily tested when needed”, “I like how you refactored and improved surrounding code when changing that feature.”

Efficiency

I do not only just “my part of work”, but always look how it will be integrated with other things.
Work is done, when it is accepted by stakeholders, and they receive certain value from it. No point in continuing doing things, if they are not going to be accepted.
Defining what will be tested and how often bring up hidden requirements and constraints.
I always try to find the root problem, even if stakeholders are unaware of it. Solving wrong things is often a huge waste of time.
If some process doesn't work, I try to discuss if it is still required.
I ask questions. I ask why things are done in a certain way until others start feeling uncomfortable. It is ok to have reasons such as: personal preference, conscious decision, legal constraints, availability of skills in the team, nobody objected, wrong implementation, reducing time to market, experimenting with new technology.
The world is changing constantly, and old ways of working may become inefficient or even harmful.
Linux over Windows over Mac. Lenovo over other laptop brands.
I try to create a safe space for experimenting and adopting new technologies in the team. By creating clear guidelines on how to integrate new tools and processes and clear guidelines on how to stop using them we reduce obsession with the legacy.

Transparency

I listen carefully. That is the first step to ensure high standards in communication. I don't share gossip, and always try to verify facts from the original source before sharing anything.
Share knowledge, even before anyone requested it. Other people could be unaware to ask.
I encourage to keep meeting notes and publish in the chat what was agreed during calls.
Transparency also means being predictable: explain how decisions are made, protect sensitive information, map daily work to the main goals.
I frequently draw pictures and diagrams to support the message I want to share.
Talking to the stakeholders often and ensuring that they are involved from definition of the problem to the acceptance helps projects to be on track and flexible for changes at any time.
Regular retrospectives and reflections give me a good opportunity to share feedback to others.

Empathy

You can't offend a person who is not looking to be offended.
I respect other opinions and let colleagues do things the way they want, unless their actions are very destructive.
Promoting consent by default, instead of consensus or autocracy for decision making, is something that I try to do in every organization.
I try to support people who are stuck with their work due to lack of knowledge or experience.
Don't sacrifice ourselves for the team, our team will need us in the next endeavor.
Addressing the needs of other parties based on spiral dynamics culture helps me to keep communication efficient.
I believe that most people want to do their work well and it is important to help them succeed.

Automation

Routine work is not for me.
I write unit tests to spend less time doing manual testing or fixing bugs.
Spending 4 hours to automate a 5 minute monthly task is worth the time, even if it will be discarded after half a year. Even if automation perishes, skills and obtained knowledge will help with other tasks.
Gradle, npm, git, jenkins, sonar, junit, jasmine, selenium, sikulix, elastic.
Automation as a way to avoid interruptions of focused work.
Correct ticket statuses, assigners, labels reduce the amount of required meetings/calls.

values

My values

One of the most important things in co-creation, is to understand the values of others.

Dare to dream big

Great goals could improve our world.
We could be a reason for positive changes in someone else's life.
Bigger challenges give more opportunities to learn.
Discuss own dreams with others. It may inspire them, or an extra pair of hands could be discovered.
Do things that we could be proud of.
Solving too hard problems could involve other world best persons.

Drive changes

To achieve something always do a first step, take an action.
Don't wait for a lucky moment, create inevitability of positive changes.
Outlining strategy and executing it.
Keep goals in mind, to be aware of the remaining part.
Be an example of a person of action.
Prepare contingency plan.
Don't wait for consensus. Consent is usually good enough.

Daily create a better version of yourself

Big challenges may require obtaining new skills or modifying your own mindset. Be brave to change yourself.
Reflect on accomplishments and failures.
Read books.
Allocate time every week, to gain new skills and competences.
Lifelong learning is fun, if it comes from inside. Do experiments to learn new things.
Challenge our team members to grow.

Tools

To pursue great goals it is important to use suitable tools. Here is list of my 5 most important tools:

Kindness
Efficiency
Transparency
Empathy
Automation

Example of how this tools help in my daily work: tools-in-daily-work.

Even when solving the Global issues, they will help.

Ways Of Life/Working

To pursue great goals certain ways of working should be adopted.

Absorb good values and avoid bad ones from others

Our values are changing over time. Are we in charge of them?
There are many great personalities around us, what could we learn from them to become better?
Think of what good we could absorb, from every person we like or dislike.
“The greatest prison people may build for themselves - is the fear of what other people think.”
People can't change their values often.

Play as a team

Together we could solve most of the world's challenges.
Don't sacrifice ourselves for the team, our team will need us in the next endeavor.
Help people in our team to grow and be successful.
Don't be afraid to be vulnerable from others. They will betray you. Get over and move on - there are many kind people on our planet.
Support and encourage people in their strong parts, cover their backs.

Be responsible and accountable

Don't do just “my part of work”, always look how it will be integrated with other things.
Work is done, when it is accepted by stakeholders, and they receive certain value from it.
Think of what is the real problem, even if our customer is unaware of it.
