BizDevOps = Scrum?! I read an article where the author states that DevOps' future is integrating DevOps with Business. As stated: "so companies can build user-oriented products more quickly." As agile is dying but the future is BizDevOps which - in my interpretation - is the totally the same. Companies should develop valuable products for their users asap. This is the main idea behind Scrum as well: "that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems." IMHO it is a renaming of an already existing approach which is getting unpopular nowadays in certain tech circles. What's your point on that? #scrum #devops #bizdevops #agileisdead

evitaDB exports your database data natively via automatically generated web APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC). This topic is covered in a new article on Root.cz (https://lnkd.in/d577FH5k) in Czech language. You're welcome to read and comment it.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of flying the TestCoders -banner to Romania and run our full-day (hands-on) tutorial on using Cypress.io (from zero to hero) at the Romanian Testing Conference. I'm not selling nor promoting Cypress, but rather giving participants insights and (actual) experience to enable them making informed decisions on 'if', 'where', 'when' and 'how' to use it (succesfully). Why I do this? Because the test automation community (still) seems to suffer from a condition I call 'tool fetish'. We (as a community) just love comparing testing tool with one another without any real context. I believe attempting to compare testing tools without context is as shallow as saying: "Harley Davidson motorcycles are better than the Volkswagen transporter..." 🤔 Context always matters! And context requires knowledge and skill. So let's keep on gaining that knowledge and skill and keep our minds open like the great folks at the Romanian Testing Conference and never stop collecting context! Many thanks to💡Andrei Contan and the RTC team for managing to organise such a great event in a stunning location and making such a big (anual) contribution to the #TestAutomationCommunity! #testautomation #cypress #e2etesting #testcoders #apitesting #componenttesting #testengineering

HOW TO SOURCE DEVELOPERS ON DEVSCANR This is a tutorial on how to find technical talent. We will use the DevScanr sourcing platform and the Skills-first methodology to find a “Backend JavaScript Developer” in Romania. The tutorial is inspired by a video from Michal Juhas, who was searching for engineers for the same position, but on LinkedIn Recruiter. At the end, we compare both approaches and results. https://lnkd.in/ethWmFJa

Developers these days are so darned lazy. And cheap. OK, sorry, that was not fair. Developers have always been lazy and cheap. I was really surprised by this when I started out as a software developer, fresh out of college 25 years ago. I noticed that whenever my more experienced colleagues were asked to add new functionality, the first thing they did was to check if there was pre-existing code that did the job. Preferably free. This blew my mind. But as I thought more about it, it made sense. Especially after I attended a Business Strategy class at Southern Methodist University SMU Cox School of Business. Build vs Buy vs Reuse is a part of Business Strategy. Why build or buy something if it is freely available? When we start with something good-enough that is freely available, we can customize it to our needs. And if it is well-maintained, we get free upgrades. This frees up more time and money for us to build things that no one else can build as well as us, which makes customers very happy. It reduced the TCO (total cost of ownership) of our solutions and it increases our EBITDA, which usually makes investors very happy, which makes the board of directors very happy. So it turns out that developers are not only lazy and cheap, but they are also strategic and there is a lot we can learn from them. Especially when it comes to building Software Product Development Lifecycles. You may be tempted to reject the pre-existing frameworks and build your own because none of them are good enough for you. Newsflash! You might think you are unique and special and nobody is solving the specific kinds of problems you are. Maybe yes, maybe no. You are just as unique as every other snowflake. And while you might be doing something nobody else has done before, you don't need to develop your own SDLC. Think like a developer. Be lazy, cheap and strategic. Start with a pre-existing framework, make use of all the free training available on the market, and customize only what you need to. Your EBITDA will go up and your customers, investors and Board of Directors will be happy. You are welcome.

💡Today, I had a discussion with a .NET developer from Poland about essential practices for every project, whether backend or frontend. I wanted to share some points: • Ensure a proper folder structure. • Treat warnings as errors. • Use fluent validation instead of annotations. • Check for code smells before pushing to the main branch. • Store secret keys or sensitive information in a secret manager or environment variables. • Maintain high code coverage with unit and integration tests. • Avoid having the same packages in multiple projects; centralize them in a shared project. • Follow SOLID principles, especially the Single Responsibility Principle. • Mind the length of your methods and classes. • Avoid writing over complex code; go with simplicity. If you have any additional points, please feel free to add them below.

I have started using n8n for some simple low-code projects, as an alternative to Make. The major reason to try n8n were my customers: I get support requests from developers who are using n8n to launch ScrapeNinja web scraping API. So far, I am impressed by n8n self-hosted product: - I launched it in less than 1 minute, with a single docker command. - It uses SQLite under the hood, so backups are super easy (can be switched to PostgreSQL) - The UX feels sleek and polished. - Javascript code is a first-class citizen. Here goes the real killer feature: as it is self-hosted, so it costs exactly 0 US dollars to process 1M rows with website URLs, push them into ScrapeNinja web scraping API, and put results back into self-hosted Airtable alternative - NocoDB (another awesome open-source product, powered by SQLite). Not bad, I can afford this! If you want to get better at web scraping - please follow ScrapeNinja page on Linkedin. #n8n #zapier #make #integromat

It's quite eye-opening to learn that a lot of software development projects hit a snag right at the finish line. Did you know that a whopping 80% of the work actually happens in the last 20% of the project? This crucial stage often doesn't get the attention it deserves. Many development agencies find themselves struggling here because of poor planning and budget issues, which sadly leads to projects being abandoned prematurely. What starts as a 6-9 month journey can unexpectedly stretch into years or, even worse, never get completed.

🗣 The Importance of Effective Communication Long-term projects, particularly in software development, are complex processes where precise and timely communication is indispensable. Misunderstandings or gaps in information can easily lead to mistakes, delays, or even cost overruns. Now I will briefly introduce the communication guide we use: 📩 Email: It is ideal for sharing important decisions, formal confirmations, and official documents. 📲 Call: Personal encounters or online meetings are also essential when discussing more complex topics or urgent problems. 📳 Other Platforms (like Slack): Instant messaging platforms are excellent for everyday communication, quick questions, and information exchange. We discuss the topic in more detail in our latest blog, which can be found in the comments! 🔽 🔽

Big shout out to the AI_Devs! Just wrapped up the AI_Devs2 course - a fantastic program for anyone wanting to combine Generative AI tools with automation. Huge thanks to the team for a well-structured 5 weeks, ditching the basic stuff and diving straight into building custom tools via API. #AI #GenerativeAI #OpenAI #Automation #Thanks
