A good couple of weeks ago two of talented and overall great guys joined Applicake Team. It’s the highest time to introduce them officially

Dear Everyone, please, meet Karolina – Web Apps Tester and Michał – Senior Ruby on Rails Coder.

As they both went through a very tough recruitment process, I KINDLY asked them to answer a few more questions.  What for? So that you could get to know them better!

1. Which cake ingredient are you?

Karolina: Which cake? Seriously, this is an important question! Probably yeast. I make everything grow..

Michał: I’m a raisin. You can have a cake without one, but it’s not the same cake anymore

2. Finish the sentence: „ I can’t imagine my life without…”

K: Just to be crystal clear – yes, this is gonna be the most tendentious answer ever! Here we go: music, sleep, my at-many-times-annoying boyfriend, my cellphone, eating muffins, dancing and designing.

M: Imagination. If not for imagination, would not even know what/who I am.

3. What makes you happy?

K: I hate those questions Ordinary things. I’m happy when buying new clothes (yes, pathethic and so girly!), meeting with friends, spending my time with my spouse (minus times when he’s annoying or he beats me in FIFA WorldCup), eating delicious stuff and knowing that people are happy with my designs…

M: Achievements, spending quality time with friends and popping bubble wraps!

4. Which color are you?

K: Few years ago I’d definitely say “black”… but now I have no idea. I don’t even know which one is my favorite. I can be RGB tho!

M: Today I feel like #4BD14E.

5. What is the last book you read?

K: It was “Designing with Type: The Essential Guide to Typography” by James Craig. A good one.

M: Last book this week would be “Rework”. I liked it a lot. It’s nice to have all things 37signals talk about in one place.

6. If someone wrote a biography about you – what would be the title?

K: “The most boring story ever. Don’t read it unless you’re forced to”. Both inviting and provocative

M: “Super awesome rainbow unicorns with shotguns”. Therefore I’m glad no one
has written one yet.

7. If you could have superpowers, what would it be?

K: Flying, traveling in time or ultimate I-can’t-die ability!

M: Flying would be nice, preferably with cold resistance, and lowered oxygen need so that I could gain decent altitude.

8. What is your favorite food?

K: Oh, I love eating! *the-chewing-pie-sound* I’m crazy about sweets so I have to admit that “sweets” in general are my fav thing. To be specific, I could die for carrot cupcakes! And muffins – I actually bake them often. If it comes to more healthy food, I adore salmon, tuna pasta, cottage cheese with radish & more. Don’t ever tell me to go on a diet!

M: Sushi. I’m addicted to rice with rice vinegar and raw fish.

9. What is your favorite movie?

K: NO, NO, NO! I won’t tell you! I don’t have a slightest idea which of all movies I’ve seen in my life is my favorite. YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT!

M: Luc Besson’s “Léon” – the only one to make me shed manly tears

10. If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who should play the main character?

K: Of course Scarlett Johansson. Who else could it be?

M: Sylvester Stallone. There would also be a lot of shooting, fast cars and “stuff”.

11. If you were a “House” (TV Series) character, which one would you be?

K: Definately “thirteen”. She’s extremely hot. If it comes to man I’m a combination of Chase and House. Actually I kind of adore House. He’s a master of irony and sarcasm, which I tend to use really often.

M: I’d be House probably. Although I’m only half as cynic as he is. I’m glad you haven’t asked about “Dexter” by the way.

12. How would you describe yourself in three words?

K: Crazy, open, visionary.

M: I would not

13. If you won the lottery, would you still work?

K: At first probably no… but after few months of boredom I would definitely get back to work. I’d dedicate myself to things I’m passionate about.

M: Sure. Probably less than today, but I don’t see a reason to stop doing what I love just because I can afford to.
