When someone talks about Portugal, what comes to your mind? The first that crosses my mind is that it's home to about 100K top-tier developers, 10K+ software companies, and a great place to hire an offshore team or even open an entire R&D center. And only then do I think about the ocean and the sun. Occupational deformation, what can I say. In recent years, Portugal has become one of the most attractive places to hire developers. Let's figure out why in our article: https://lnkd.in/dXutZfK3

💯 this. If you want to learn, engage with the material. If you are taking a class try to help others out. Trying to do something and can't find videos or articles about it, or the articles and videos are unclear? Once you get it figured out, write your own article or make your own video. (Remember to cite anyone else's content that helped you along the way - Always give credit where credit is due) By putting your content out there you will at times make mistakes. People love to correct people, which is great. Don't take it as a hit to your ego, see it as a learning opportunity and update your content. Others are helpful by suggesting alternatives and improvements. Bonus: Your articles and videos can serve as your "notes" in case you come back and start building off of what you did previously. Not that I myself ever have to go back and re-teach myself stuff with my own content. 😅

🚀 Exciting News for New Developers! 🚀 I'm very happy to share my new GitHub repository: https://lnkd.in/dMiwj-t2 This project is designed to help new developers understand data algorithms through a functional programming approach using Elixir. 🌟 To kick things off, I've implemented the classic Bubble Sort algorithm. This is a great starting point for anyone looking to grasp the fundamentals of sorting algorithms while learning Elixir's functional style. Feel free to check it out, contribute, and let me know your thoughts! Happy coding! 💻✨ #Elixir #DataStructures #Algorithms #OpenSource #Programming

Hello devs 🚀! 🎙️ It's been a while since I've touched base, but I've got some exciting news to share about my Portuguese programming podcast, devsplan (https://devsplan.pt). For all my Portuguese-speaking colleagues out there, give it a listen and let me know what you think! 🚀 Yesterday an EP came out, and together with my podcast partner João Petinga, we've been realising that through our magic we've been able to build tools that help us publish more episodes, and spend less time on some details. 🎨 One of our latest creations? A nifty thumbnail generator! No more Figma layer juggling or time-consuming exports. This tool allows us to whip up eye-catching episode thumbnails in a flash. 💻 I decided to dust off my Nuxt skills for this project (yes, it might be overkill). The result? A simple yet powerful HTML-based solution that lets us customize episode numbers, titles, and even font sizes with ease. One click, and we've got a ready-to-use image. 🔧 It's amazing how these small optimizations can snowball into major productivity boosts. We're excited to keep refining our workflow and delivering even more quality content to our listeners. 🤔 Now, I'm curious: what have you been building lately? Any cool side projects or productivity hacks you'd like to share? I'd love to hear about your recent coding adventures and any suggestions you might have for improving our setup. 💡 Let's start a conversation! Drop your thoughts, ideas, and experiences in the comments below. Who knows? Your input might inspire the next game-changing tool in our podcasting journey! #CodingCommunity #PodcastProduction #DevLife #ProductivityHacks #podcast #portugal #coding #devsplan

Let's redefine how software is built

Do you think "the right way"? During the last days in Ireland, I drove right-handed - hence not on the "right" but left side of the road. The physicist in me was of course directly aware of the symmetries, but my brain needed some time to adapt to the consequences. When did you last time "think in other ways"? - Left-minded ← instead of right-minded → ? - Slow 🚶 instead of fast 🏃 ? - Bottom-up ⬆️ instead of top-down ⬇️ ? Like me, you can spend a few moments now to reflect on how you usually tackle your day and week and wonder how and whether you want to do things differently today? Maybe you will notice advantages and disadvantages of the new perspective and find new and better solutions faster.

I find the obsession with productivity is missing the point. It's not just unhelpful, it often leads into completely wrong direction. I summed up my thoughts on the topic in this article: https://lnkd.in/dsKVSDav #productivity #habits #reflection

I bumped into these two studies, https://lnkd.in/duXqKtmn and https://lnkd.in/dfYZ-YTb, about AI's impact on the development and quality of the media. It got me thinking about the future of human-AI interaction at work, especially for developers. I found a few important takeaways: 🔸 AI increases development speed but also may raise the bug rate. 🔸 AI may contribute to the technical debt growth due to this accelerated pace. 🔸 The expertise of the developer has to surpass AI, so the generated code can be controlled 🔸 We can expect a job market imbalance since junior developers are becoming less needed, which makes hiring senior developers more significant. So, don’t rush to judge AI based on a black-and-white principle. It’s much more complex and less predictable than we think. What about media? Simply paying attention to the details will prevent you from taking AI-generated content as real. Let's apply a bit of critical thinking and question what we come across 😉 Like these hands, notice anything? #AIinDevelopment #AIDevelopment #TechDebt #SoftwareEngineering #SeniorDevelopers

There are many features I'm proud about Flashboard (https://getflashboard.com). One of the things I learned building this app though - and it is something that made me rethink about any other app I've ever added sensible data - is properly protecting people's secrets, and the best way to achieve that in our case was to make sure even us - the developers - can't access such data. Take a look in this video where Diogo Biazus explains a bit about that architecture.

Are you a first-time CTO? This offer might be just what you need! In Q1, I offered a set of free coaching and mentoring sessions to people who had been affected by mass layoffs. The results have been remarkable: 3/3 found a new job, and one decided to continue benefitting from my support after the free offer ended. In Q2, I upped the game. I offered 4,5 hours of free coaching and mentoring to 4 members of the WIT community. I will get the feedback in a couple of weeks, but from what I gathered so far, it's been helpful to all of them. I want to continue this tradition of paying forward to the community. In Q3, I need to consider a reduced availability due to the holiday season. This is why I'm 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗧𝗢, with FREE monthly sessions between July and September 2024. You don't want to miss this opportunity if you've been recently appointed as CTO (within the last 12 months). Fill out the application form before 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟴.𝟬𝟬 𝗖𝗘𝗧.
