We are here to provide clear and valuable information to decrease all the noise in this technical industry so you can feel confident in selecting your next development team.
The hardest part of software development isn’t actually software development – it’s estimating how long the software development will take.
A great leader can make all the difference between success and failure, productivity and frustration, satisfaction and disappointment. But how do you know when someone’s a great leader?
A few months ago we moved out of our physical office and went completely virtual! No, that doesn’t mean that we are all CGI characters (we are still real humans), but it does mean that we no longer gather to work at a permanent office.
Do you respond quickly to communications sent to you? I’m not talking about spam or unsolicited email. I’m talking about real, honest requests and questions. I think you should try to respond right away, for a few reasons:
One of the hardest subjects to broach, in business or personal matters, is money. People are often uncomfortable bringing up the topic, especially when they need a product or service they’re not very familiar with.
Sometimes we try to spare someone’s feelings by saying “maybe” or “later” when the authentic answer is really “no”.
Some customers balk when we tell them that we’ll do some planning and design to start their project. They want us to just start coding. But we know that’s a bad idea…
To me, a developer saying their programming change “shouldn’t hurt anything” is the equivalent of a person in a horror movie saying “I’ll be right back” – things are likely to end badly!
The name of something is very important, for clarity and consistency. This is especially true when designing a database system and naming items including tables, fields, and labels.
Few things are quite as frustrating as using some software and receiving an error message – except for receiving an error message that tells you NOTHING about what the problem actually is!
We simplify a lot of your techincal issues and bring real solutions to your inbox – no fluff.
At J Street Technology, we’ve been working with clients for over 20 years. In that time, we’ve developed some recommendations on the topic. We hope you find our checklist useful
