Not even the rain could stop us @ Job Fair
If the weather is anything to go by, we can with 100% certainty say that Job Fair doesn’t always have the mercy of weather gods. Last year we got scorched because of the hot or “lit” atmosphere. And this year, we swam through the rain and floods to get to our booth. But we are […]
Roadmap to requirements elicitation
It’s so fortunate that you’re starting your project and you came across this blog post. Well, let us take you on a rather interesting journey of requirements elicitation. Even though the name suggests something complex, if approached correctly, it can be the best building block for the software development process. We all know that each project […]
Scope creep and gold plating – the death of projects
No, we are not talking about a peeping Tom. Scope creep might sound like it, but trust us, it’s a completely different thing (we hope).

Are you being killed by context switching and interruptions
In a world full of interruptions, how do you stay focused? How do you minimize noise and create your productive bubble?

I think we’ve all heard from, well, basically everyone, that you should find your niche and specialize in something. And I’m here to tell you that, sometimes, it’s completely wrong. Sometimes you were born to be a generalist. Yes, it’s amazing to be great in your field, but dabbling in other things can be way […]
How to run a project in a software development process
As a software development company, you encounter so many diverse projects and each one is unique. But each approach to projects is somewhat different and has its own set of rules. As we said, it’s never going to be the same. In time, though, some development companies design certain processes and approaches in their projects. […]
Copy and paste programming – When to and when not to
Copy and paste programming is the process of producing highly repetitive code by copying existing code and pasting it into a new one. It’s often done by developers who don’t want to or don’t have the time to start writing code from scratch, so they turn to a pre-written solution. But, if you don’t understand […]

Domain knowledge – why do you need it in software development?
Domain knowledge is defined as knowledge of a certain specialized field, discipline, or profession. It means that a person has in-depth knowledge in one specific area as opposed to general knowledge. In business, this means that a person has knowledge of a specific industry or field relevant to their role. But often, domain knowledge doesn’t […]
