New Barriers to faster growing Software Development

Software delivery speed continues to accelerate. Toward that end, software teams have adopted Agile, DevOps and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) to speed release cycles. Meanwhile, tools throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) have been enabling more automation and providing more intelligence. Piece by piece, each phase of the SDLC is being optimized, albeit at different rates in different organizations. However, as specific bottlenecks are solved, new ones take their place. A couple of development-related issues that may be holding software delivery up are traditional feature flagging and hand-coding. Traditional feature flagging vs. feature experimentation The purpose of feature flagging and feature experimentation platforms is roughly the same: speed the delivery of value. Feature flagging allows features to be turned on and off. For example, a developer can deploy code and turn a feature flag on or off to test it with a user base, such as alp

Ways to stay healthy as a software developer

Introduction The working environment of an average programmer entails sitting around a desk for long hours surrounded by gadgets. The reality here is that, there is a huge possibility of programmers developing certain health conditions and computer related injuries. It is interesting to note that most programmers are more concerned about plugging away with writing lines of code than they are about their health. I think lots of programmers do not prioritise their health as much as they should do. As professionals, it is pertinent to note that the physical well being of a person is just as important as the mental well being. This is why I have put together a list of different ways in which programmers like you and I can keep ourselves healthy. 1).   Hydration Fluid is very much essential to staying alive. A key element to staying hydrated is water. In fact, the total amount of water in our body averages at 60% of our body weight. Dangers Of Not Staying Hydrated. Muscl
