Are there software development agencies in #Kazakhstan? Yes there are, and boy, they are good! We are more than happy to announce that we just acquired our 1st client in Kazakhstan: nidge - IT product makers, one of the 𝚝̲𝚘̲𝚙̲ ̲𝟹̲ ̲𝚜̲𝚘̲𝚏̲𝚝̲𝚠̲𝚊̲𝚛̲𝚎̲ ̲𝚊̲𝚐̲𝚎̲𝚗̲𝚌̲𝚒̲𝚎̲𝚜̲ ̲𝚒̲𝚗̲ ̲𝙺̲𝚉̲, switched to Apropo for estimating their projects! 👏 👏 On a separate note, based on what I saw #Kazakhstan seems like a very interesting direction for software development outsourcing 💡 The rates are significantly lower than in the Eastern Europe, they are good communicators, easy to work with and paying attention to design. “Solid” is the right word, I’d say. If you consider outsourcing your project to Kazakhstan, I’m very impressed with guys from nidge - IT product makers based on what I’ve seen - I recommend talking to them 👈 Nidge switched to Apropo in a pursuit of more optimal processes and better customer experience. Here’s what Meiirzhan Ryskeldi, CEO at nidge - IT product makers, says about the outcomes from this move: "𝘈𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 - 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙦𝙪𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙. 𝘈𝘭𝘴𝘰, 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙡 - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴.

Based on what I saw at your company, I think that Kazakh software companies definitely deserve more spotlight in Europe - you guys are really competitive! 👏 👏 👏 We wish you guys lots of deals won and tons of time saved with Apropo! 💰

📣 Presenting the full agenda for WarsawJS Meetup #117! 📣 The event will take place on August 14th at the fantastic BEC Poland headquarters. Check out what we have prepared for you: ► Robert Pasiński — Deep Dive into JS task scheduling We’ll go deep into what are tasks in JavaScript context, what is the difference between micro-task and macro-task, when they are run and how they are scheduled. I’m gonna go through the APIs like requestIdleCallback, requestAnimationFrame, and other that allow us to leverage the scheduling mechanism and highlight the bottlenecks. You can also expect a glimpse of how these are implemented under the hood in JS engines. ► Inez Okulska, — RAG vs GPTs fine-tuning - who wins? Natural language interfaces for information retrieval are very appealing. Hence, the popularity of GPTs for quick fine-tuning of GPT models. Are they reliable enough, though? When and why do we need more complex solutions like RAG systems? We’ll analyze this using the hAI Magazine case study. ► Jerzy N. — How to build real-time video processing web app Do you want to create a real-time video processing application? That's excellent, but have you considered how to handle delays, video compression, and high infrastructure costs? At ShareTheBoard, we thoroughly analyzed these challenges, tested various approaches, and ultimately succeeded in developing a web application that allows you to share digitized data with remote meeting participants. In this session, we will discuss the biggest challenges we faced and describe our final architecture. Join us to listen to experts in their fields and learn more about JavaScript, GPTs, and real-time video processing. It’s a great opportunity to gain new knowledge and make valuable connections! 🧠👥 🎟️ Tickets available here: https://lnkd.in/dtZmKC5G We can't wait to see you at WarsawJS Meetup #117! 🫂🤝 #WarsawJS #Meetup #TechEvents #WebDevelopment

One of the main tasks of a PM is to understand what customers or users need and, together with the development team, build a solution for these requirements. There is a bridge in the middle — a clear and concise document that aligns everyone with a PM’s thinking. This document is called PRD (Product Requirements Document). Despite the fancy term, these are just answers to the main “power” questions. What is the Business Problem? What are the constraints? What and when will we do? Who does what? This structure is used in all big companies: Uber, Booking, Spotify, Amazon, Google, etc. Since dozens of projects/features are launched in these companies simultaneously, the magic of a one-pager PRD document allows everyone, from a developer to the CEO, to understand what is happening. Well, let’s see what can go wrong here. By Vladimir Kalmykov https://lnkd.in/en_aMWnW #productdevelopment #productmanagement

🤝 The Art of Negotiation with the Production Team As UX designers, we collaborate with many roles within the team: developers, product managers and business analysts. Every meeting, workshop, or refinement session can lead to new discussions. We should always have a say in matters affecting user experience, but... we can't always win. 🔍 Choose Your Battles: Team decisions must consider technical feasibility, time to market, business needs, and key performance indicators (KPIs). Reaching agreements often requires compromise—and that's okay. The gentle art of saying "no" is crucial, but it also means presenting alternatives, proposals, and ideas to enrich conversations rather than blocking them. 🚀 Use Your Influence to Define the MVP: Teams working with Agile methodology often feel pressured to deliver quickly. This means dividing the backlog into various releases and deciding which features are essential for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Defining the MVP is one of the biggest battles every UX-er should choose. We need to ensure that even the MVP offers valuable experiences to users. Be strong in this regard. 📋 Negotiate with Your Product Manager Over Backlog Decisions: After defining the MVP, the team has a long list of tasks and features to include in future iterations and releases. Product managers oversee the backlog and its priorities, but UX-ers should work closely with them to highlight which aspects are more critical from the user's perspective. Product managers should be our main allies, defending the value of our role and responding to stakeholder requests based on our expertise. Building a relationship based on mutual trust and fluid communication is key. Remember, our common goal is to deliver the best possible product for users. Together, we can achieve more! 🌟 Cheers, Joanna #UXFridays #UXDesign #Negotiations #ProductionTeam #Collaboration #Agile
