Development world is always changing and evolving... It changes before you know it...
So, having the ability to quickly adapt and learn is a must for any Developer... And, this is the one thing that I am sure that everyone knows about or heard about..
But, my advice is quite simple:
"Don't rush into participating in a race, just because everyone else is doing so.
The trick is not to move quickly.. But, to move one step at a time, at the pace in which you are at your most comfortable...
It might seem counterintuitive and a contradiction to what I have said earlier.. But, I hope that by the end of this rant, you will be able to understand my perspective..
This advice is especially useful for people still finding and searching for their place in our world..
Charles Darwin, very wisely understood the philosophy behind 'Survival of the Fittest'..
By 'fittest', he didn't refer to the ones considered to be the strongest or having the most intelligence, but the ones that had mastered the ability to adapt to changing circumstances..
Adaptability is important, but not at the cost of understanding and learning about the fundamental pillars on which this world stands..
Don't rush because when you run, your visions starts to become more narrow.. In your pursuit to reach your goal, you lose the ability to look at the macro details surrounding your goal..
Learning new technology is important, but that doesn't mean that you don't learn about various approaches or how to design a more logical or efficient solution...
Refactoring the code, developing good Testing procedures, learning to interact with your fellow developers are as crucial as learning about the changing trends...
Even, in this ever-changing world, understand that some things will always remain the same, like the adrenaline that course through your veins when you finally solve a long-standing problem...
Curiosity, Discovery and Exploration are the key pillars and hence, when we rush in, we might stop exploring and lose curiosity to discover new and exciting ways to reach our goal..
Or, we might also end up losing the drive that grips us and motivates to continue moving forward inspite of the challenges standing between us and our destination..
And, believe me, once you lose this quality, you might still succeed but the contentment and the satisfaction that you feel will be lost..
And, then, you will remain a developer only through your designation... And, that in my personal opinion, the worst punishment.3 -
Most of the people who know me say I'm a very relaxed and empathetic guy, with a well respected technical knowledge and adaptability, definitely not the kind of "tough" boss you usually find. So, I'm really getting tired of big tech companies that keep preserving those narcissistic bad bosses that take advantage of guys like me, because I lean on the "softer" side. It's unbelievable the number of these companies that, although they praise a softer leadership style, they still preserve these morale-bloodsucking motherf**ckers, only because they are obsessed with (their own) results, which they usually deliver, no matter the cost.10

Not really a rant, but I love Android!
Go to Settings -> Language and Input -> Language, and change it to English (UK), the answers given by Google assistant will have a British accent. Change it to English (India), Google assistant will have an Indian accent, and the same thing applies for English (Australia) and obviously English (US).
Perfect example of phone adapting to the user!4 -
I finally understand it. Its all about adaptability. The body and the subconsciouses mind is in a continuous adaptation to the environment it lives in. That explains why we always strive for new, better and cooler things, why we never are satisfied with what we have.
Be happy in the current position you are in, be grateful for simply living. It sounds like I'm on drugs or something, but we take such things for granted, appreciate and embrace what you have.2 -
Recently many of us may have seen that viral image of a BSOD in a Ford car, saying the vehicle cannot be driven due to an update failure.
I haven't been able to verify the story in established news sources, so I won't be further commenting on it, specifically.
But the prospects of the very concept are quite... concerning.
Deploying updates and patches to software can be reasonably called *the software industry*. We almost have no V0 software in production nowadays, anywhere (except for some types of firmware).
Thus, as car and other devices become more and more reliant on larger software rather than much shorter onboard firmware, infrastructure for online updates becomes mandatory.
And large scale, major updates for deployed software on many different runtime environments can be messy even on the most stable situations and connections (even k8s makes available rolling updates with tests on cloud infrastructure, so the whole thing won't come crashing down).
Thereby, an update mess on automotive-OS software is a given, we just have to wait for it.
When it comes... it will be a mess. Auto manufacturers will adopt a "move fast and break things" approach, because those who don't will appear to be outcompeted by those who deploy lots of shiny things, very often.
It will lead to mass outages on otherwise dependable transportation - private transportation.
Car owners, the demographic that most strongly overlaps with every other powerful demographic, will put significant pressure on governments to do something about it.
Governments (and I might be wrong here) will likely adapt existing recall implementation laws to apply to automotive OS software updates.
That means having to go to the auto shop every time there is a software update.
If Windows may be used as a reference for update frequency, that means several times per day.
A more reasonable expectation would be once per month.
Still completely impossible for large groups of rural car owners.
That means industry instability due to regulation and shifting demographics, and that could as well affect the rest of the software industry (because laws are pesky like that, rules that apply to cars could easily be used to reign in cloud computing software).
Thus... Please, someone tells me I overlooked something or that I am underestimating the adaptability of the powers at play, because it seems like a storm is on the horizon, straight ahead.5 -
Hire Shopify Developer
Keeping the equipment static and expanding or diminishing the amount of clients to learn if the presentation is affected relatively to comprehend the consistency of the framework is named unsurprising adaptability.
At the point when a worker isn't skilled handle the current responsibility, the strategy for acquiring new worker to share the responsibility close by the current worker is named scaling out or even scaling. -
If you've ever had to do hiring (technical side) of new software developer\s, the seniority in terms of working years is the most valuable criteria for you or the hiring department, or there's else?
On my side I'm a software developer from around 1 year and here (in Italy) your price is, from what I've seen, based on the seniority in terms of time, rarely actual skills\adaptability.
I'm good as a full stack developer and I'm proficient in adapting\learning to-new\new skills about new languages and Frameworks.
Soon I'm leaving my underpaying job with good output from my work\projects, but I'm faced with this seniority nonsense that makes most of the recruiters silent because the new price is similar of someone with high seniority, and I'm kinda tired of this, so I'm here to hear your thoughts about this. -
In the ever-evolving landscape of business operations, efficiency stands as a cornerstone for success. However, traditional reporting methods often entail a cumbersome and time-consuming process that drains resources and stifles productivity. Enter company dashboards https://cobit-solutions.com/en/ – the dynamic solution revolutionizing the way organizations monitor and analyze data, effectively replacing tedious reporting practices with streamlined, real-time insights.
Gone are the days of painstakingly compiling data from disparate sources, only to present it in static, outdated reports. Company dashboards offer a comprehensive and interactive approach to data visualization, empowering stakeholders to access critical information at their fingertips. Whether it's sales figures, marketing metrics, or financial performance, these dashboards provide a centralized hub where data is aggregated, analyzed, and presented in a user-friendly format.
One of the key advantages of company dashboards is their ability to automate reporting processes, significantly reducing the time and effort required for manual data collection and analysis. With customizable features and intuitive design, users can effortlessly generate reports tailored to their specific needs, eliminating the need for repetitive tasks and allowing teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
Moreover, company dashboards promote transparency and collaboration within organizations by facilitating data sharing and cross-departmental communication. By granting stakeholders access to real-time insights, decision-making becomes more informed and agile, enabling swift responses to changing market dynamics and emerging opportunities.
Another noteworthy benefit of company dashboards is their scalability and adaptability to evolving business needs. Whether a startup or a multinational corporation, organizations can customize dashboards to align with their unique goals and objectives, ensuring relevance and effectiveness across different departments and functions.
Furthermore, the adoption of company dashboards fosters a data-driven culture within organizations, where decisions are driven by empirical evidence rather than intuition. By democratizing access to data and empowering employees at all levels to leverage insights, companies can foster innovation, drive performance, and gain a competitive edge in today's fast-paced business environment.
In conclusion, company dashboards represent a paradigm shift in how organizations approach reporting and data analysis. By replacing tedious and time-consuming processes with dynamic, real-time insights, these tools enable businesses to operate more efficiently, make better-informed decisions, and ultimately achieve their strategic objectives. As technology continues to advance and data becomes increasingly abundant, the role of company dashboards will only become more integral in driving success in the digital age.3
