Bubble for Enterprise? Yes, it’s possible. Some time ago, Mike Guzowski asked me about the Enterprise features of Bubble.io, and I promised to write a post about it. Finally, I have the time, and here it is - a short summary of features that could be interesting for big companies looking to enter the #nocode space. Bubble's Enterprise plan is specifically designed to meet the demands and compliance requirements of large organizations. The biggest difference between the other plans is that on Enterprise you can migrate your app to an isolated instance of Bubble-managed AWS server, giving you choice of hosting region, a static IP address and greater control of server resources and updates. While you cannot use your own cloud, this gives you separate instance from all the other apps, with your own dedicated resources. You can host one or more apps on this server, adding capacity if needed. 🔒Security and Compliance Bubble's Enterprise Plan includes SOC 2 Type II compliance and GDPR, regular penetration testing and advanced user authentication mechanisms, like single sign-on. 🤝Collaboration For seamless team collaboration, Bubble's Enterprise Plan offers centralized user management. This feature allows administrators to control access levels across various apps. You can also use SSO integration to simplify user authentication. 🆘Support Enterprise users get priority access to Bubble’s dedicated support team, which includes a Technical Success Management team. This team assists with app optimization, troubleshooting, and security queries. Additionally, each enterprise client has a dedicated account manager to ensure personalized support and quicker resolution of any issues that arise. If you have more questions, let me know and I’ll try to answer all of them below 👇

I talked about AI a few days ago at Cloud Weekend in Podgorica. But the best part of community conferences is not talks; it's meeting people from the community. Thanks Marin Radjenovic for inviting me to Cloud Weekend! I enjoyed talking to the AWS User Group Montenegro members and future members. I met many new people, reconnected with old friends from local user groups, and even encountered a few Vacation Tracker users! For everyone interested in Gen AI and LLMs, here are slides from my talk: "Building Production-Ready Apps with AI"

During my attendance in two ruby conferences in Europe, I interviewed top Ruby developers at the conferences about the current job market. Given that Ruby on Rails is a mature framework, I wanted to know: what's the current state of the Ruby job market? These are the  valuable insights I got from industry experts on job prospects, challenges for juniors, and tips for success in the Rails ecosystem. Watch my full video on my YouTube channel (@tillcarlos) for more in-depth insights and discussions.

Where can tech workers turn when the US job market's in a slump? We just wrapped up an awesome livestream with André Remati diving deep into two totally different careers — cop and actor. Check out the full episode at the link below. 👮 Police salaries in the US keep climbing the longer you serve. Fresh out of the academy (after 8 months of training), you're looking at $65K a year. Stick around for 2 years, and that jumps to $81K. The benefits are pretty sweet too — 30 days of vacation and up to $6,000 a year for education expenses. 🧾 Getting into the force is no cakewalk. You've got to ace a written test, crush a physical, fill out a crazy detailed 10-year background check, pass a lie detector test, clear a psych eval, and impress a panel of officers in an interview. 🤝 In the acting world, it's all about who you know. Rubbing elbows with casting directors, producers, and directors can seriously boost your career. Pro tip: Hit up some casting director workshops. They'll set you back about $400-500, but they're worth it. 💰 Non-union actors just starting out might pull in $200-500 a day. Join SAG (the actors' union), and you can score higher rates, but there's a catch — you're looking at a $2,500 initiation fee plus yearly dues. 🎭 To make it as an actor, you've got to find your niche and know how to sell yourself. Take Andre — he's carved out a spot playing "corporate jerks" and bad guys, and he makes sure his portfolio showcases that. Drop a comment and tell us: What off-the-wall jobs have you picked up since moving to the States?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ https://lnkd.in/gsxVES2K

My Experience with work visa application for Google Poland Denied twice, reason for denial: "purpose of the trip may be different from what was stated". In August I accepted an exciting offer to join Google Poland's BigQuery team in Warsaw. Work they do sounds exciting, my experience is a good fit and I have a girlfriend and multiple friends living in Poland so I jumped on the opportunity, rejecting other offers and stopping other interview processes. In September my declaration of entrusting work was issued in Poland and my visa appointment was scheduled so resigned from Yandex. As a result I've rejected other opportunities and am unemployed. Despite submitting extensive documentation (far beyond of what was listed on VFS global) on October 28th, my visa was denied on October 30th. The reason? "Reasonable doubts about the veracity of statements regarding the purpose of stay." This was puzzling - I've never misused visas, never visited Poland, and have a clean record in the EU. Even more strange is that consulate haven't contacted me or Google and haven't asked for any clarifications or additional documents. We appealed with additional evidence, including Google's letter that they are still waiting for me to begin working and a letter to consul outlining multiple personal reasons (supported by documents) that prove that I intend to work in Poland. The appeal was denied on November 18th with the same reasoning. Throughout this process, consulate never elaborated on denial or provided actionable way to fix my application, despite multiple attempts to contact them. As I found out later it is a mass problem for applicants from Belarus, who are getting same denials under this blanket reason. The current situation forces applicants to reapply multiple times with hoping they would be approved this time. As everyone gets same vague reason and 0 transparency from consulate genuine applicants submit identical (or near identical) document packages to different cities until approval. Every visa appointment means paying middleman 100-200 euro and waiting unpredictable amount of time to secure an appointment (as they are running bots automating appointment booking). While this may be a response to recent "visa scandal," the current approach primarily affects legitimate applicants with genuine intentions to work in Poland. Google has been supportive and patient throughout this process, though I feel bad about delay for future team. I hope they can seek official clarification from the Polish foreign ministry about their policy (as the document package for new employees from Belarus for Google is exactly the same for everyone). If this fails perhaps they can accommodate remote work in another EU country until this situation is resolved? Before this clarification I advice non-EU applicants: Exercise caution when accepting positions in Poland, and don't resign from your current role until you have secured your visa.

How and why I learned App Store Optimization (ASO) Back in 2018, I uploaded my first application which is used for family monitoring and reached almost 1 Milion downloads. I was new and looking for the way to rank top 20 in Playstore search. How I used to do ASO in that time? > I picked the main keyword, searched for the top 10 apps. > Copied all the descriptions of top ranking apps and pasted in keyword density checker too. > Rewrote the app description with high frequency keywords. > In featured banner and screenshots, used keywords. > Provided regular update to the app > Interacted with users in reviews. ASO tips in current time > Instead of spamming links directly to the people, instead ask them to search and install. > Try to get more 4-5 ratings. Tip: You can reduce bad reviews and rating with the simple trick. Ask your users to rate with in the app with your custom review layout. If the user rates in your custom rating box more than 4 stars, forward them to the Play Store else to mail for feedback. > If competitor app is not updated for long time, there is a high chance you can replace it by using latest target sdk. > If there are less apps of the same category, shorterning app name as main keyword might help to rank higher. However it can reduce chance of getting visible with other keywords. If your app name is more than allowed length size and already doing well, don't shorten it. Update: App has been removed from Playstore due to changes in Accessibility Service policy. Getting approval tip: Publish your app with minimal functionality and with minimal permissions. Provide full features later.

Interesting read from Anatoly Zelenin about why backing up your Kafka data is important! https://lnkd.in/eZVbX_Qq One of the main causes of data loss is are due to human errors. Topic misconfigurations, release of a bug which corrupts your data, deletion of topics, ... Although it's a blogpost from back in 2019, it's even more relevant these days as more and more companies are using Kafka as the backbone of your IT infrastructure. So back up your events, you'll thank yourselves later! #kafka #backup

Are they making software? Yes TH-EY are! I am more than happy to welcome another software agency that decided to switch to Apropo for #estimating their projects - please give a round of applause to TH-EY! 👏 👏 👏 TH-EY is (or shall I say “are”?) a custom software development company with HQ in London and Krakow, specialized in building web & mobile applications for companies from the #UK, #US, #Canada and #Western_Europe 👈 They are also one of the client-#ROI-oriented companies - they first work out the problem on a paper and only then fit the best technology into it, regardless of whether that's a clickable design prototype, #MVP, or a fully-fledged custom software product 💡 👉 I’m very happy to see such approach, especially that I’ve written about it in one of my recent posts (link in the comments). 👉 TH-EY switched to Apropo in search for a tool that would make their estimates faster, more accurate and more transparent for their clients. 👉 Here is how Filip Kubala, Founder at TH-EY, comments the results of implementing Apropo: "𝘌𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭. 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯.

AI (or LLM, call it what you will) is changing our reality. What about QA jobs? This year, we've seen a 100% increase in BugBug registrations from .ai domains. Many new projects have been released in the last few months, and of course, they need to be tested. I like this revolution from this point of view. What about the AI and testing industry? You can certainly find AI testing tools. Are they revolutionizing the industry? They're not. A friend of mine had a demo call with one of the no-code testing platforms for mobile testing, and they told him that they had to add AI to their platform just because investors *forced them* to. Well... And as of 2024, I still don't see any revolutionary AI testing tools. It seems like it is mostly a buzzword and marketing trick. Why is that? We build software for people, so you need a human being to verify the result of the software. AI doesn't know how to feed your SaaS application to create a valuable test. AI doesn't know which process is critical to your business. Sometimes, even your PM doesn't ;) Moreover, Quality Assurance is much more complex and human-based than most people think. Of course, the industry will change a lot in the coming years. Some processes will become more automated, and some tasks will be taken over by AI. But in general, I think we still have a long way to go before we can replace humans in testing with true AI. I'm curious if you found any successful and reliable software testing project backed up by AI. #SoftwareTesting #Entrepreneurship #Startup #QualityAssurance #AI

Feature Friday: Customizing Verbosity and Documentation Length in Dev-Docs I'm excited to share the latest update we've just rolled out at Dev-Docs. It's all about giving you more control over your documentation. The driver behind this is that we recently heard some of you mention that our AI-generated docs could sometimes be a bit... wordy. 😅 So, we've added a way for you to customize the length and format right in your dev-docs.json file. Now you can choose things like: "1-2 sentences" for those quick overviews "1-2 paragraphs" when you need a bit more detail "3-5 bullet points" for easy scanning We've also set the default to 1-3 sentences to keep things concise. Want to see it in action? Just hit Shift+Cmd+D, and boom! Tailored documentation at your fingertips. 🪄 I'd love to know what you think about this update. Have you given it a try yet? Any other features you'd like to see? Oh, and if you're curious to see how it works, I've put together a quick demo that as always I linked in the comments. Happy documenting 💻✨! #DevDocs #FridayFeature

INTERVIEW SCAM ALERT! I want to share an important observation with my network. Over the past few days, we conducted several interviews where candidates were required to build a frontend app using CodeSandbox in a live challenge. We noticed a concerning pattern among three candidates who shared the same ethnicity and were all located in Poland. Upon opening CodeSandbox, a flag appeared indicating "Companion Mode." This feature allows for live or pair programming, enabling someone else to code alongside the candidate. During one of the interviews, it became evident that the candidate was struggling to set things up. We realized they were cheating by having someone else assist them through Companion Mode. Consequently, we terminated the interview. If you use CodeSandbox for your interviews, I strongly suggest stopping the interview immediately if you see the "Companion Mode" flag. Additionally, performing thorough background checks on previous companies and obtaining feedback from referrals has become essential. After blowing off someone's cover this afternoon, the profile of one of the three guys has been removed from Linkedin. I hope this information helps other companies avoid similar issues.
