How often have you seen people asking you to implement a solution instead of a problem? Most of the times people are stuck with implementation of a solution which eventually doesn't help to solve the problem. It takes a lot of #courage, tact and #confidence to ask someone senior to give you more details about the problem as they may have already made up their mind about the solution.

🚀Unlocking the Power of Low Code Development: Advantages and Tips 🚀 I'm excited to share my latest blog post on an innovative approach that's transforming the software development landscape: Low Code Development. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a "citizen developer," this post is packed with valuable insights to help you understand and leverage the power of Low Code. 🔹 Understanding Low Code Development Low Code Development is revolutionizing application creation by utilizing graphical interfaces and minimal hand-coding. This approach democratizes development, enabling developers of varying skill levels to produce functional software quickly and efficiently. By simplifying the software development lifecycle, Low Code makes application development accessible to both professional developers and those with limited coding experience. 🔹 Developing an Application Using Low Code Tools The process of developing an application with Low Code tools involves several streamlined steps, from initial planning and requirements gathering to choosing the right platform and designing the user interface. With platforms like Mendix, OutSystems, and Microsoft Power Apps, you can leverage drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built templates, and robust integration capabilities to create intuitive and scalable applications. Thorough testing and adherence to best practices for scalability, security, and performance are essential to ensure the application's success. 🔹 Tips for Maximizing the Benefits of Low Code Development To unlock the full potential of Low Code, it's crucial to adopt specific strategies and best practices. Selecting the appropriate platform, leveraging community resources, and maintaining a sharp focus on user experience are key. Staying updated with the latest features from Low Code vendors and fostering effective collaboration with non-technical stakeholders can further enhance development outcomes. Seamless integration with existing IT infrastructure ensures that Low Code solutions complement and enhance your technological ecosystem. 👉 Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/eqHGgDBc Join me in exploring how Low Code Development can accelerate your development processes, reduce costs, and drive innovation. #LowCode #NoCode #SoftwareDevelopment #Innovation #TechTrends #BusinessGrowth

Terminal's 2024 Hiring Trends in Latam Post 3 of 4 Rethinking Interviews: What Latam Developers Want Many in the US assume they should apply the same interview process they use domestically to anywhere in the world, without considering the implications. In the US, engineers are often granted immense amounts of personal flexibility: flexible PTO policies, untracked sick days, ability to just take the afternoon off for something “personal”, etc. In many countries, time and work hours are tracked much more scrutinously, often by law. It’s much more difficult for an engineer to just take off large blocks of hours on short notice or devote an entire day to multiple interview processes. ⏱️ Long, disorganized interviews can deter the best talents. In Latin America, 70% of engineers report long delays during the interview process, and nearly 60% would turn down a job if they had to go through too many interview rounds. That's a BIG drop-off of talent in the pipeline. Streamlining the process is crucial to attracting the top Latam talent. Candidates have to make a calculation on which interview processes to take on based on how streamlined they are so they can adequately manage their time. They are walking a tightrope to ensure they are following expectations and rules in their current role, while taking selective interviews to find a new opportunity. Understanding the dynamics of the market you are hiring in is key and your willingness to adjust your approach will ensure you have the best opportunity to engage top talent. 💡 There are ways to counter the risks of false positives for a more expedited interview process such as bringing on new candidates in markets as Contractors for 6mos before converting them to FTEs. This lowers the financial risk if they don’t work out and allows them to prove more skills and collaboration in a real work setting. Link to the report 👉 https://lnkd.in/gWThNEiR Are you open to flexing your interview process for a new market, or do you force the same process for everyone, everywhere? Any tips to be most effective?

Remote team or not? I myself have been working for a few years but only now at Techstars I actually go to an office every day. I had an awesome time working remote and I honestly got a lot done, specially in terms of software development. More than I could have in an office in my opinion. And if you take the opportunity to travel, you can also get to know many countries and cultures at the same time. It’s epic. Now I am in an office. Everyday. Sitting close side by side with my cofounder and many other amazing people. Sitting there, in the office, I read an article about somebody complaining that companies want you to come back to the office. I was always pro-remote but I started thinking about it. The amount of clearance and alignment when working in person together or being able to just walk over to another persons desk to ask a question is very strong compared to online meetings or chat messages. Or a motivating smile by Brian Daly as he walks past your desk instead of an emoji reaction. On the other side deep concentrated work, like actual software development is very hard for me in the office environment. Being able to work remote is a luxury not a must have. It can help, it can also be harmful. If your company decides to go office only, don’t blame them for it. What do you think? #remote #office

Microservices or Monoliths? (Yeah, I know ...) It is an old and tired topic, and yet surprisingly it is still one that even I need to contemplate when starting a new project. Firstly, let’s not be reductive: there is no one solution to any technological challenge. Much like there is no one way to best manage a team or a department. Leverage the responsible solution for the challenge at hand. - Microservicing is an optimization (a series of them actually) driven by discovery, and monolithic design is an effective way to discover what you do not yet know. For the same reason why, as an architect, I rely on developing my thoughts through a working proof of concept, so do monolithic components point the way to something potentially better. -Monolith does not mean you get to write garbage code. Monoliths often have a stigma that has nothing to do with architecture. Simply put, with poor leadership comes an avalanche of garbage. The same code quality of a well crafted set of SOLID services can be implemented identically in a monolith. -Being first to market is overrated, yet there is no need to block product development because you have not yet decided on the perfect ecosystem. -Have well defined data boundaries from the start. It is not wrong to share a database between microservices, but when things do need to change make sure it is not a tangled mess. -Use those API Gateways to abstract paths and access. This is not a must-have, but it can be a prudent step that you can take before you need to know much of anything about your targeted future infrastructure. With that all said ... my typical preference, if time allows, is something in between: minimal Domain services. Start developing along the naturally occurring logical or categorical boundaries.
