🚀 Exciting Update! 🚀 We've noticed a low conversion rate when it comes to updating to a newer version of our app. To address this, we've introduced a handy #Update banner in #Gitabitan version 2.1 whenever a newer version is available. We can't wait to see how this impacts the overall app version distribution for our upcoming event releases. Stay tuned for more updates! #AppDevelopment #UserExperience #SoftwareUpdate #TechInnovation

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹? I couldn’t answer that question this morning. And that’s when I realized I might need a better way to keep track of my car’s maintenance. Here’s how my day started: I woke up to a message from my customer support team. Apparently, there was a small bug in my app that was stopping users from resetting their passwords. No big deal, right? So, I got ready to head to the office. But when I got to my car, I noticed my tire was flat. Ugh. Not today! My dad, being the car expert he is, looked at me and said, “You forget to check the tire pressure every week.” I said, “I can’t remember to do that every week.” Then he asked, “When was the last time you checked the coolant level or changed the oil?” I couldn’t remember that either. That’s when it hit me—there should be an easy way to keep all these car maintenance reminders in one place. I’ve tried some apps before, but they were either ugly, hard to use, or way too expensive—charging $10 a month just to remind me about things I barely even use. So, I decided to build my own app. It’s going to be simple, clean, and affordable—just what car owners need to keep track of their maintenance without paying a ton of money. I’m going to build it in public. I’ll share all the updates and what I learn along the way. (Oh, and by the way, I got to work just fine—thanks to my dad’s car! The bug will be fixed soon, I promise. 😉) #BuildingInPublic #CarMaintenanceApp #Flutter

At Evoluted | Certified B Corp™, we've been using GitLab as our DevOps platform for years, and it's been fantastic. But as our Shopify client base has grown, we faced a challenge: no built-in GitLab-Shopify integration. Many developers solve this by building custom solutions. That's what I did! Over the past 6 months, I've developed an integration leveraging GitLab CI/CD and the Shopify CLI to automate theme deployments. Here's the benefit: Streamlined development workflows for Shopify stores on GitLab. It's not a silver bullet: This solution might not be as feature-rich as the official GitHub integration, but it's robust and ready to share. Calling all Shopify devs! Have you struggled with manual deployments? I'm sharing these scripts to help you improve your workflow, just like they've helped ours at Evoluted. Links to the full breakdown of the implementation: In the first comment. #shopify #gitlab #devops #ecommerce #cicd

It’s common for mid-level developers to overcomplicate things that could be simple. The transition from junior to senior involves a lot of learning and applying new concepts, which often leads to over-engineering. With experience we realize that not everything needs to be abstracted and simplicity often leads to the best solutions

Just rewrote Stakpak in Rust and what a journey it's been! 🦀 Learned tons about memory safety, performance optimization, and why the borrow checker is actually your best friend (after a few heated arguments 😅). The outcome? A supercharged Stakpak that's not only blazingly fast but pushed me to become a better engineer along the way. 🚀 📖 Check out the blog post for the full behind-the-scenes story!

This week is my final week at iO Academy, my team and I are building the back-end for a hotel-booking website using PHP with Laravel (which links to a pre-built front-end built using React). Today we wrote function to create bookings for hotel rooms, that will return an error message if: the end date is before the start date; that room is booked already for any of the requested dates and if the room's capacity is too big or too small for the number of guests. We struggled with checking if that hotel room is booked already for any of the requested dates. We overcame this by chaining together ->where, ->orWhereBetween, ->WhereBetween and ->orWhere methods, to create our $bookingConflict variable shown below. As a result users can't book hotel rooms that have already been booked for that period. You can checkout the progress of our project on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/e9pCq8kD Jodie Stead Charlie Bird Oksana B

This may sound a bit strange. At some point, back in the Corona days, the job market had come to a dead stop. A good week meant I had been contacted by 2 or 3 agencies talking about or following up on (new) job applications. Some recruiters decided to change their approach. They reached out once a week like clockwork. Every conversation was similar. First, they would speak about new job prospects for 3-4 minutes. The rest of the conversation then revolved around any recent job applications I had started during the last week. In week 1, they talked about Company A looking for some new hires. When I expressed my interest, they said they would contact me as soon as they received feedback. A week later, a new call... no more mentioning of Company A, but Company B is also hiring. Would I be interested? And... ah yes... what was new on my end? Have I received any new job offers or started exploring them? This went on and on... And it wasn't just one recruiter. Most of my calls between June and September 2020 were of this sort. Luckily, the job market picked up again, and the practice was abandoned (thank God). Lately, however, I have started to get them back again. So far, it's been limited to recruiters from 1 agency, but it makes me wonder... Have any of you also experienced this kind of time-wasting lately? I know the market seems slow, but why bother potential job candidates this way?

Do you really think that Leetcode and its companions are suitable to assess the knowledge of a medior/senior? This is a huge misconception, I experienced it myself as both a professional recruiter and a candidate. A targeted interview is much more suitable, or practical exercises such as Coding Challenges. #softwaredevelopment #recruitment #donothumiliatetheexpert
