5 Key Factors to Consider When Hiring a Software Development Team
Published: 2024-03-07 18:10:31

When it comes to building a [software product development](https://www.clickittech.com/software-product-development/) team, making the right choices is crucial. Here are five key factors you should keep in mind when hiring a software development team.

1. **Experience and Expertise**: Look for a team with experience and expertise in the specific technologies and methodologies relevant to your project. A team that has successfully completed similar projects in the past will likely be better equipped to handle the challenges of your project.

2. **Communication Skills**:Effective communication is essential for a successful software development team. Look for team members who can communicate clearly and effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Good communication ensures that everyone is on the same page and reduces the risk of misunderstandings or miscommunications.

3. **Collaborative Approach**: A collaborative approach is key to success in software development. Look for a team that values collaboration and teamwork, rather than individual silos. A collaborative team will be better able to leverage each other's strengths and work together towards a common goal.

4. **Adaptability and Flexibility**:Software development is a dynamic and ever-changing field. Look for a team that is adaptable and flexible, able to respond quickly to changing requirements or unexpected challenges. A flexible team will be better able to adjust course as needed and keep your project on track.

5. **Quality Assurance Practices**: Quality assurance is essential for delivering a successful software product. Look for a team that has robust quality assurance practices in place, including testing and code review processes. A team that prioritizes quality assurance will deliver a more reliable and high-quality product in the end.

So, hiring the right software development team is essential for the success of your project. Consider factors such as experience, communication skills, collaboration, adaptability, and quality assurance practices when making your decision. By choosing the right team, you can set your project up for success and ensure that you achieve your goals efficiently and effectively.

That’s why remote work sucks
Tags: remotework, remotejobs, returntooffice, career
Published: 2024-03-07 15:48:09

It sucks because you don’t need to wake up earlier than needed to be ready for work.

It sucks because you don’t need to drive or take public transportation to go to the office.

It sucks because you save time and money on commuting.

And that time you can spend with your loved ones.

But I really believe that it sucks most of all because your boss cannot look over your shoulder to see what you’re doing on your computer.

As you can see, I’m being sarcastic here since I’m one of the biggest advocates for remote work. I’m aware of its benefits and I can tell you how much my life, health, both personal and professional, have improved since I started working 100% remotely.

It’s all about the freedom to do what you need to do from wherever you are.

For me, it’s nonsense to travel to another place just to sit in front of a computer all day when I can do exactly the same thing at home.

I believed that the pandemic had already taught us this lesson in the hardest possible ways that we could imagine, but it seems that some companies have poor memories and don’t remember anything anymore.

Without remote work, most tech companies would have collapsed during these last years.

So I can only see these “Return to Office” (RTO) movements happening in multiple companies around the world as something similar to “Returning to the Industrial Age.”

We are in the “Technology Information Age,” practically in the “Artificial Intelligence Age,” a new disruptive age that is starting (I would say that it started long ago, but that’s a subject for another post).

For me, there is no surprise in seeing people leaving their jobs at Google or any other high-paying big tech company, especially in cases where a change of address becomes necessary to return to the office.

People are starting to realize what is “Working to Live,” and rejecting “Living to Work.”

That’s also my life philosophy, and I’ve truly believed in it for many years, with many results.

What do you think about it? Just let me know in the comments section below.

See you in the next post!

Gemini VS ChatGPT
Tags: gemini, chatgpt, aichatbots
Published: 2024-03-07 17:46:39

Have you heard of Gemini?
It's Google's new large language model, taking the AI world by storm! Similar to ChatGPT, Gemini can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. But here's where they differ: Gemini emphasizes transparency and responsible AI, with features like direct internet access and quality management tools. While ChatGPT boasts wider user accessibility and established multimodal content creation, Gemini shines in its focus on accurate and consistent responses. Both are powerhouses in the AI landscape, but which one will you choose?
A nifty hack to make compact DB records
Tags: aws, hack, nosql, mongodb
Published: 2024-03-07 17:35:53

**The Problem**

We recently ran into a situation where some of our DynamoDB documents were reaching their max size limits.

Thanks to the flexibility offered by DynamoDB, teams had been adding keys without ever thinking about the document size (which is a generous one - 400Kb).

We also noticed that the documents in question had a lot of boolean attributes, We could have made a different partition and moved these attributes but that would mean changing a lot of `query` and `getItem` calls to `batchGetItems`.

**The Solution**
We instead took a different route and used the same document and infact added one more attribute to it - `flags`.
The bits of this attribute (of a number type) would represent all the boolean attributes we wanted to replace.

OfCourse, we had to store the order of flags as a separate configuration so we knew which bit meant which attribute but this could be loaded and cached in-memory as it was guaranteed to not change.

Here's what the records looked like after the migration:

```json
// The fat DB item
{
  "flags": 24
  ...
}
```
```json
// The configuration DB item
{
  "pk": "config#flagPosition",
  "value": ["key-1", "key-2", "key-3", ...]
}
```

To find out whether the flag was true or false all we needed was the position of the flag bit.
```js
const isEnabled = (val, bitPosition) => {
    if (bitPosition > 30 || bitPosition < 0)
        throw new Error('Invalid flag position');
    return (val & (1 << bitPosition)) === 0 ? false : true;
};

isEnabled(24, config.indexOf('key-2')); // false
isEnabled(24, config.indexOf('key-3')); // true
```

To enable a flag:
```js
const setEnabled = (val, bitPosition) => {
    if (bitPosition > 30 || bitPosition < 0)    
        throw new Error('Invalid flag position');
    return val | (1 << bitPosition);
};

let flags = 24;
flags = setEnabled(flags, config.indexOf('key-2'));
isEnabled(flags, config.indexOf('key-2')); // true
```

To disable a flag:
```js
const setDisabled = (val, bitPosition) => {
    if (bitPosition > 30 || bitPosition < 0)
        throw new Error('Invalid flag position');
    const mask = ~(1 << bitPosition);
    return val & mask;
};
let flags = 26;
flags = setEnabled(flags, config.indexOf('key-2'));
isDisabled(flags, (flags, config.indexOf('key-2')); // true
```
Can You Become a Data Analyst Without a Background in Computer Science?
Tags: datascience, data, analytics, dataengineering
Published: 2024-03-07 17:11:25

In the rapidly evolving field of data analytics and data mining, the role of a data analyst has become increasingly critical. Data analysts are responsible for collecting, processing, and analyzing data to help businesses make informed decisions. While a background in computer science or a related field can be advantageous, it is not always necessary to become a successful data analyst.

Many successful data analysts come from diverse backgrounds, including business, mathematics, and social sciences. What is essential is a strong analytical mindset, a curiosity for data, and a willingness to learn new skills. With the right attitude and approach, you can pursue a career in [data analytics and data mining](https://iimskills.com/data-analytics-vs-data-mining/) even without a background in computer science.

One of the first steps to becoming a data analyst without a computer science background is to acquire basic computer skills. This includes proficiency in using spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, as well as familiarity with data visualization tools like Tableau or Power BI. These skills will form the foundation for your journey into data analytics and data mining.

Next, it is crucial to develop your analytical skills. This involves the ability to critically analyze data, identify trends and patterns, and draw meaningful insights. You can start by practicing with small datasets and gradually move on to more complex data analysis tasks.

Another important aspect of becoming a data analyst is to familiarize yourself with data analytics tools and programming languages commonly used in the field. While you may not need to become an expert programmer, having a basic understanding of languages like SQL, Python, or R can be beneficial.

Networking and building relationships within the data analytics and data mining community can also be valuable. Attending industry events, webinars, and workshops can help you stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in data analytics and data mining.

In conclusion, while a background in computer science can be advantageous, it is not a prerequisite to pursuing a career in data analytics and data mining. With the right mindset, willingness to learn, and dedication, you can successfully transition into a career in data analytics and data mining, regardless of your educational background.

How to Set Dynamic Release URLs in Environment with GitHub Actions
Tags: githubactions, cicd
Published: 2024-03-07 16:50:10

## Introduction

This article explains how to dynamically set a release URL in an Environment using GitHub Actions.

## Background

GitHub Actions has a feature for defining environments called Environment.
[Using environments for deployment - GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-different-environments/using-environments-for-deployment)

For example, by setting up environments like the following, it's possible to switch the release destination. (You can set any name you want.)

- Production environment
- Staging environment
- Testing environment
- Development environment

Among these, there is a function to display the URL of the release destination after releasing.

![GitHub Actions Release URL](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/96fcdpl6ciekzdfqn609.png)

If there's only one fixed environment, it's not a problem. However, if the URL is determined dynamically during the release steps, it was unclear how to display it, so I'm documenting the method here.

If it's a single environment, you can set the URL as follows.

```yaml
environment:
    name: production
    url: https://example.com
```

## How To

The method is simple: save the value in an output during the step when the URL is confirmed, and then set that output as the environment's URL.

Here is a sample Yaml. You need to assign a reference ID to the step. The format for referencing the output is `steps.[step_id].outputs.[output_name]`.

```yaml
environment:
    name: development
    url: ${{ steps.get_release_url.outputs.release_url }}

steps:
    - name: Set release url
      id: get_release_url
      run: echo release_url=https://xxx.example.com >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
```

## Conclusion

The method to dynamically set the URL of a release in GitHub Actions' Environment is to save a value in the output during the release step, and then set that output name as the URL in the environment.
Nested for loop in C++(critical)

The problem is about, have to take a user input as int, to see the ASCII value output per row times.
![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/runaab0v7mkdtvrnuseg.png)
![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/8ry1byj8jjjaf667xdsf.png)
The code is given here:

```
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
/*
a
bb
ccc
dddd
eeeee
*/
{
    int row, col,n;
    cout<<"Enter the 'n' number to see the magic:" <<endl;
    cin>>n;
    for(row=1;row<=n;row++)
    {
        char name='a'+row-1;
//here,a's ascii value is 96;then row's value addition changes output//
        for(col=1;col<=row;col++)
        {
            cout<<name<<" ";
        }
        cout<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
```
As example: 
If, Input=4
Then, Output=
a
bb
ccc
dddd
(Speciality is input when exceeds the alphabetic number 26. Then, output shows as per ASCII value.)

Starting again as a dev student and working as tech writer
Tags: webdev, beginners, ux, wecoded
Published: 2024-03-07 15:09:10

Hello everyone! 

This is my first time writing here (and also writing about my journey as a developer). Well, let me introduce myself.

**My name is Michelle, I'm a Brazilian technical documentation analyst. I've been studying programming on and off for a few years.** My journey started when I was 18 years old and went to college to major in Computer Science. I ended up having some struggles, including with my mental health, and didn't finish the course. Some time after, I changed my major to Journalism, and I graduated at the end of 2020 (yes, I graduated in the middle of the pandemic, so the dynamic was different than expected).


![At a graduation ceremony, students throw their caps into the air.](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/2lsdvge1nislr2rk3vir.gif)

Later, I got a job as a Technical Writer in a Brazilian multinational company. It was my first job in an IT company and my opportunity to enter this world.

**All these years I've been studying HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It's something I love and want to work with, along with technical writing.**

Of course I'm still learning and this year this will be my focus. **I want to become a front-end developer and open up my world to new possibilities.** I'm currently also studying for my postgraduate diploma in UX Design and a MBA in Agile.

**I will write about my journey here. It'll be a way to share my studies and knowledge growth. I will also talk about tech writing and share my experiences and studies. Hope someone can feel represented and closer.** If anyone wants to chat, feel free to reach me anytime. Let's make 2024 a better year, the beginning of a better life!

Thanks for reading and hope to see you soon!

Modern Date Time Libraries for JavaScript and TypeScript
Tags: javascript, typescript, datetime, momentj
Published: 2024-03-07 15:03:14

Here's a list of modern date time libraries for JavaScript and TypeScript:
* [date-fns](https://date-fns.org/)
* [Luxon](https://moment.github.io/luxon/#/)
* [Day.js](https://day.js.org/)

Moment was a favorite library, and simply a requirement, for a large number of JavaScript projects that I've worked on. However it is no longer maintained. Luxon is the successor library for it.

The modern libraries mentioned above are actively maintained and all of them have smaller bundle sizes.

![timeline of javascript libraries for handling dates and times](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/4jz22pn6wsj6afynf1ag.png)

## Bundle Sizes
Here's a comparison of bundle sizes:

| library | minified | minified+gzipped |
|-------|-------|----|
| [date-fns](https://bundlephobia.com/package/date-fns@3.3.1) | 75.5kb | 17.2kb |
| [Luxon](https://bundlephobia.com/package/luxon@3.4.4) | 78.1kb | 23kb |
| [Day.js](https://bundlephobia.com/package/dayjs@1.11.10) | 6.9kb | 3kb |
| [Moment](https://bundlephobia.com/package/moment@2.30.1) | 294.9kb | 73.1kb |

## API and Code Examples
Here's a comparison of some of their API functions and how the code looks.

### date-fns

```javascript
import { format, addDays, subBusinessDays, getOverlappingDaysInIntervals } from "date-fns";
format(new Date(2014, 1, 11), "MM/dd/yyyy");
const result = addDays(new Date(2014, 4, 1), 2);
subBusinessDays(new Date(2014, 8, 1), 10);
getOverlappingDaysInIntervals(
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 10), end: new Date(2014, 0, 20) },
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 17), end: new Date(2014, 0, 21) }
);
```

### Luxon

```javascript
const now = DateTime.now();
DateTime.fromISO("2017-05-15T08:30:00")
dt = DateTime.now();
dt.plus({ hours: 3, minutes: 2 });
dt.minus({ days: 7 });
dt.startOf('day');
dt.endOf('hour');
var dur = Duration.fromObject({ hours: 2, minutes: 7 });
dt.plus(dur);
```

### Day.js

```javascript
var now = dayjs();
now.add(7, 'day')
dayjs().isBefore(dayjs('2011-01-01'))
```
