Client Review: We have used JsPlumb for over 10 years, and continue to use it during the re-platforming of our product. It was originally used as the framework of our application and now its embedded in our new angular framework to visualise and interact with our data. JsPlumb is the perfect tool for us to display connected data, specifically how it is represented in our knowledge graph backend. Our product is built around not only displaying that data, but interacting with it through many visualisations built with the jsPlumb toolkit. #diagramminglibrary #datavisualisation

Bad Comments ❌ Too many comments are almost worse than no comments. They inflate the code and typically overwhelm the person working on it. Some examples of what a bad comment is... Nonlocal Info - Commenting about a bit of code that the comment is not near. Commented out code - This often remains in the software for no real reason and nobody dares to delete it because somebody at some point thought it might be needed. It bloats the code and is 'probably' never going to be used. Redundant or Misleading Comments - Usually done with a good intention at the time but the control might have changed over time and the comment is no longer serving its original purpose. . .delete them. There are many more to be honest, but these are some of the most common. I have added a link below in comments to a video showing some of the actual comments on the Simpsons Hit and Run game for the PlayStation - Hilarious this even went on at that level 😂 😂 if you can spare 2 minutes watch it.

The median salary for developers with no experience reverted to the standard $500 in April, after dropping to $400 in February. However, developers with one year of experience saw a decrease to $625 from $800 in January. Developers with two years of experience sought an average of $1650 in April, down from $2000 last year and $2500 in 2022. Those with 3-4 years of experience now expect a similar salary, having reduced their expectations by $500 compared to last year. Candidates with 5-6 years of experience anticipate an average salary of $4000, while those with 7+ years of experience expect $5000. This aligns with last year's figures, though in 2021, the expectations were $500-1000 higher.

A software development company can tick all the boxes on your checklist, but you still have one big question: How can I trust them to deliver the best digital product? 👀 After a decade of being a trusted advisor to many clients from Croatia to Australia and the USA, we learned that the answer lies in open communication and transparency, which are expected from both sides. While the client must proactively participate in the project, a software development partner should always question “why” and propose better, quicker, and simpler solutions. ✅ Check out the blog post by Senior Business Development Manager Srdan Peter Jozic, which highlights six crucial elements of developing and maintaining trust and find out what you should expect from the partnership. 🌐

With the release of The Code Registry V1.1.7 and with it, our revolutionary developer productivity insights and benchmarking, we wanted to share our own thoughts and experiences in this area of software development. Whether your role is working on behalf of clients or managing software within a business environment, tracking developer productivity is crucial for team leads and #CTO's alike. Traditionally, most technical leaders rely on tools like GitHub or GitLab for code commits and project management software like Atlassian Jira or Trello to assess progress. However, these tools often present a fragmented view of developer activity, making it difficult to gauge actual productivity or business impact. 🔗 Read our latest article to delve deeper into our ground-breaking approach to understanding developer #productivity and tracking output: https://lnkd.in/eejSnUw6 #KnowYourCode #DeveloperProductivity #SoftwareDevelopment #DevOps #CodeIntelligence #CodeInsights #AiInsights
