Can we talk about the technical debt quadrant?
Technical debt. A term you all are all too well familiar with. And in the course of your career, you might’ve encountered some form of it or the other. Often, software development comes with its hangups and quick fixes appear as the best solution for them. But, as we all know, quick fixes are not […]
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 […]
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). It’s something that happens regularly in software development projects and can send even the best-laid plans into a tailspin. Even in agile projects, scope creep can rear its head, even […]
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? Well, you might think it’s simple, but it’s becoming harder and harder to do so, especially in work environments. You come to work, power your computer, and start opening tabs, apps, and others. First, […]
A generalist over a specialist – the case of a software developer
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. […]
How to approach legacy apps migration
Okay, you got that unpopular task – to get your hands dirty with pretty old, legacy apps and code that probably nobody wants to look at. And what now? You can cry, whine and blame your boss for that decision or start getting the job done without excuses and complaining. Whatever your choice is, that […]
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 […]
