https://lnkd.in/dxqQa5kn Just read a fantastic article by Christian Heilmann 👀 that I couldn't help but share. In this article, Christian passionately defends the role of frontend developers and highlights the critical importance of specialized expertise in web development. Christian perfectly captures the essence of what it means to be a frontend developer today. We're not just writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We're crafting the very interfaces that define user experiences across all devices and browsers. His experiences with major companies like Yahoo, Bing, and Microsoft, as well as his work on browsers like Firefox and Edge, underscore the significance of having dedicated frontend professionals. One standout point was the common misconception that frontend work is somehow less "real" than backend or full-stack development. Christian dismantles this myth by highlighting the deep expertise required in performance optimization, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility. I highly recommend reading this article, especially in an era where the push for full-stack generalists can sometimes overshadow the need for dedicated frontend expertise. It’s a powerful reminder that having specialized skills is crucial and that investing in experts can save time, money, and headaches down the line. #TechInsights #FrontendDev #LGUW #LGUW14dayschallenge

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:  As a self-taught web developer, I've spent years learning how digital platforms work. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:  The way "whataboutism" - a debate tactic that deflects criticism by pointing to others' faults - is seeping into Nordic social media and politics. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 Working with code has taught me to look for patterns, and here's one I can't unsee:  𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬. Every time someone responds to a point with "but what about..." the algorithms reward that interaction, pushing the most divisive responses to the top. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 Our culture has always valued finding common ground through discussion. But engagement metrics drive content visibility, and I can see why inflammatory responses get more traction than thoughtful dialogue.  The platforms we use weren't built for consensus - they were built for engagement. As a developer, when debugging code, we look for root causes. In social media debates, the root cause often isn't the topic being discussed - it's how the platform shapes the discussion. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱: • Engagement algorithms don't distinguish between positive and negative interactions • Quick, emotional responses get more visibility than nuanced discussions • The structure of comment threads naturally encourages point-counterpoint rather than collaboration 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 Like many others, I often find myself with more questions than answers. I'm neither a politician nor an expert - just a developer who worries about how our traditional Nordic way of dialogue is being shaped by social media. Perhaps the first step is simply acknowledging that we're all caught in the same storm. Being aware of how these platforms influence our conversations at least gives me a chance to step back and think: "𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚?" I miss the times when we could disagree without becoming enemies. When a good discussion was about understanding each other - not about "winning." Those times aren't completely gone, but they require us to actively choose them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 𝘐'𝘮 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.

Linus Torvalds recently pointed out how passive language can mess up coding (https://lnkd.in/dM9zi4av) - and it got me thinking. This issue goes beyond code. In tech and support, the clearer we are, the better things work. When we overcomplicate communication, we slow things down. Simple, direct language helps us solve problems faster and get better results. It’s a lesson we could all use more often. Let’s stop making things harder than they need to be. #Tech #Communication #KeepItSimple #Torvalds

I tested the usability of a free Framer website template for client projects where the requirement was for a simple, nice, and affordable (< 1k €) website without much complexity. The goal was to verify whether and how it can be worked with. I tested basic features like layout, color and content changes; responsiveness and pricing It looks promising so far. I would appreciate feedback on Framer and links to websites you've built using it. The link to the extended video is in the comments. #framer #webdesign

I used to hate "10x Developers". The idea of a unicorn that can do 10x the average developer that took the industry by storm. Until I spoke with Gregor Ojstersek about this. He convinced me that 10x Developers do exist. Not because they can do 10 times more on their own. But because they bring out the best in others. And together, they do 10x for the whole organization. This is the real 10x Developer. Not 10x the individual performer. 10x the impact on the business. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this - drop them below and tune into our next episode of CTO Insights for a deeper dive.

I've got some spare time to help 2 developers with product idea validation. Important: you don't want to waste time building without market validation. Shoot me a DM! I have a few questions for you, and you'll get a detailed report. Only 2 free spots available. Why? We're all focused on building and shipping fast without validating our ideas first. That's exactly what I want to avoid – don't waste time on useless products, focus on what matters most. Make it simple, test idea, and then build.

I built this quiz in ~60 minutes yesterday - and it would be an insult to call me a developer. It is fully functional with scoring, a progress bar, and a name/email form at the end (check it out in the first comment if you want). You've probably seen a lot of cool stuff being done with AI, but maybe not when it comes to development (both front and backend). Here are some cool platforms you can use to 1) Prototype, 2) Build front-end and 3) Build back-end - but do note that the current state is mostly comparable to a junior developer. 𝐕𝟎: This NextJS/Tailwind tool lives up to its name: Version 0. It's a great way to compose a design simply by having a conversation with the bot—and it works really well. Try it out. 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐫: A code editor that can help you code - the cool thing is that it can include your codebase, external docs and more. Try it out if you're a bit more technical. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞: Claude is similar to ChatGPT, but it's better for development (I only used Claude to create the quiz - it even helped me implement it in WordPress with Formidable Forms). 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬: 1. If it's not working, tell the AI it's not working. You can upload a screenshot, error message or just describe what's going on, and it will come up with a solution. You may have to do this multiple times, and it's a skill in itself. 2. You can try all these tools for free! 3. You can prime the AI by giving it more context on what you want to achieve, rather than just a simple prompt. Find links to each platform in the comments 👇

When choosing API architectures, you want something that works well with your audience. "Ideally, you want to produce something that fits their needs and works well with their workflows," says Rob Allen, software consultant at Nineteen Feet Ltd. There are many styles to consider these days, from REST to GraphQL, SOAP and XML, RPC-style services, and asynchronous protocols. In his session at Platform Summit 2024, Rob will help make sense of when to use what. Spoiler alert: context matters. I caught up with Rob about the state of API design. He's noticing a resurgence of interest in RESTful HTTP APIs and rising interest in OpenAPI Initiative's new Arazzo specification, among other trends. Check out the interview on Nordic APIs, and be sure to attend The Platform Summit this October for more insights into choosing the best API architecture. https://lnkd.in/e4sGcZnn

There's been a lot of talk in the API industry lately about design-first versus code-first. Today Tom Akehurst from WireMock suggests a third option: prototype-first. "An API prototype, unlike a design document or specification, can be used immediately by its consumers. The client code is written, and app features are built early on," says Tom. Upfront design is usually a good idea for API development, but it's not always used in practice. So, could more dynamic prototyping allow the best of both worlds? What do you think? Check out his post on the Nordic APIs blog today for some thoughts about how to mock prototypes and the potential benefits of this approach. https://lnkd.in/eGqGeV7D

[ Most advice on using No Code tools are wrong ] 🗣️ There are hundreds of companies promoting no code, low code & Ai tools. Im in this "No code" space for almost 3 years and prior to that i used to do a lot of traditional coding. I agree that no code tools and AI is the future, here's the common marketing gimmick i see: ● 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗨𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 ● 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 ● 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 ● 𝗡𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 There are many more but i'll try to keep things short. I've tried close to 30 - 50 tools out there ranging from No code and AI. What they don't tell you is ● 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗨𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 is a disaster, believe me you'll eventually move from that platform once you want to scale and migrating to other no code tools will be your worst nightmare. ● 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, most no code tools uses "component" based system. so if the component you want for example "calendar" is not available --> then you will need to build your own calendar component --> you go back to code. ● 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀, yeah.. if you're building a landing page with their templates. if you are building anything that involves logic it will take a couple days ( if you're an expert ) ● 𝗡𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱, this is true for some no code tools ( which i currently use ) but most tools out there requires you to code just for a simple query logic. 💡 Don't get me wrong, i'll never go back to traditional coding anymore because there are tools out there that can literally build your product without needing engineer and 10x faster ( if you know which tool ) Here are my final tips for anyone that wants to leverage no code and AI tools ● Use tools that are specific frontend and backend ● Find tools that allow you to export code or at least bring your own infrastructure to the platform ● Find companies that has strong cashflow or investment ● Check their forum to see the active members on their platform, because you will get stuck at some point and need help ● Never ever use tools that charge you based on number of "actions" performed by your users There are many more, but these tips should prevent you from massive headache in the future. I've been there and it sucks cheers 🍀 See you on the next post #Linkedin #Productivity #Nocode #Ai

𝗔𝗹𝗹-𝗶𝗻-𝗼𝗻𝗲. 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱? 🤔 Every software vendor wants customers to use theirs and no other software. Structural software suppliers are no exception. I've been doing this job for a long time and have seen many attempts to have all-in-one. How many do you think succeeded? Not one! I'm quite surprised that anyone is still trying to do this. It's a futile effort, usually leading to taking dangerous shortcuts and half-hearted solutions. There are many suppliers in our industry, each doing slightly different things and each good at something different. We can only get the best overall solution for structural engineers by interconnecting the best tools from more vendors. ➡️ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.

💻 The Future of Software: From Complicated Commands to Conversational Prompts 🤖 Remember struggling with software commands, only to see an error because of a missed character? We've all been there: 🖥️ generate_report --type=sales --year=2023 One small mistake, and you're stuck. 😩 Now, AI-driven prompts make life easier. Instead of complex commands, you can simply type: 💬 "Can you generate a sales report for 2023?" It’s like talking to your software rather than programming it. And the best part? The AI does all the heavy lifting, interpreting what you want even if it’s not word-perfect. No more syntax errors, no more confusion—just results! 🚀 Why AI Prompts Matter: 1. User-Friendly: No coding skills needed—just ask in plain language, and the AI handles the task. 2. Flexible: AI adapts to different ways of asking, like "Generate a 2023 sales report" or "Show me last year’s sales." 3. Efficient: Skip memorizing complex commands and talk to the software as you would to a person. It saves time across tasks. 💬 Where You’re Already Using Prompts: Search Engines: Google completes your queries based on what you type. Chatbots: Book a flight or get support using natural language prompts. Voice Assistants: Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant respond to plain language, not structured commands. 🌟 The Future of Interaction: The shift from commands to prompts represents a broader change in how we interact with technology. We’re moving toward a future where interacting with software is as natural as having a conversation. It’s no longer just about mastering technology—it’s about making technology work for us. With the rise of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning, AI is becoming smarter at understanding our intent, even if we’re not explicit. Imagine a workplace where employees can automate tasks, generate reports, or even analyze trends just by typing out what they need. The technology is here, and it’s transforming how businesses operate. 🏢 📢 What Does This Mean for You?: In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the ability to adapt to AI tools that prioritize usability and flexibility is essential. As we move forward, AI prompts will play a crucial role in making technology accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical expertise. Whether you’re in HR, sales, marketing, or management, these tools can boost productivity, save time, and even make work more enjoyable! So, the question is: Have you started using AI prompts in your day-to-day tasks? How has it changed your workflow? Share your experiences below!👇 #TechMadeEasy 💡 #AIInBusiness 🤖 #ConversationalAI 💬 #WorkSmarterNotHarder 🏆 #FutureOfTech 🔮 #DigitalTransformation 🚀 #SoftwareEvolution 📊 #UserExperienceMatters 💻 #AIInnovation 🌐
