Identifying problems and providing solutions... Problem: Teaching only works when the learner is eager to pick up and trial new things outside their comfort zones without worrying about deadlines around time management. Solution: But of course is aware of time taken to complete the task in hand, informing those that need to know how much … Continue reading Things I’ve learnt…

Awareness of Communication
There's no problem talking about real issues that have a large impact. Based on day to day activities, if something is taking longer then usual then you've got a problem. Whether it's a long winded process, a hardware or software system, network, or performance issue - all cost time. Take a random day of the … Continue reading Awareness of Communication
New Strategy
Having time spent reviewing code bases and realising where to optimise productivity. Helping out not just the end users, but the developers either sides of the teams. One of the biggest issue with our monolithic system is where to find certain features. This is because of many reasons. Built by different developers all at different … Continue reading New Strategy
Maybe just…
You're trying too hard or the ones that are looking, searching, judging are one requesting way too much, maybe, sometimes on demand, whether that's internal or external. Spotting the difference is another trait. Don't become the bait, but spot it and report it, where there's a growing concern. Maybe there's something more, inbetween the lines, … Continue reading Maybe just…
Generalists vs Specialists
Do you have a spare moment and own a LinkedIn account? When it comes to designing and developing UI in software or websites, I've always tried my best to think of the end users with UX in mind. Sometimes it's not clear from the start, but it eventually becomes clearer during the process. Sometimes it's … Continue reading Generalists vs Specialists
Uncertainty?
As human beings we assume a lot, but realising after it's not the case anymore. We accept those that have worked longer in employment to know more. But when we talk about agendas, we realised that's not the case. Opening up and talking about topics we enjoy can show how in depth knowledge we may … Continue reading Uncertainty?
We’re in transition.
Following on from my previous post, we've updated and maybe tidied a few duplicates. There's also been many discoveries along the way too. Stuff that doesn't work nor spotted in system, which makes one think are these features ever been used? Prioritising the 'must' from 'nice to have' fixed bug features is good, but could … Continue reading We’re in transition.
Many methods, many implementations.
Just like in coding there's many methods, there's also many implementations. From NuGet to NPM, to CDN's. A mammoth system using all three can get confusing very quickly. Let's start by the most famous framework out there Bootstrap! Imagine there are different variations of it. The original, the Sass, the older version (just because it … Continue reading Many methods, many implementations.
Quick Changes
There are times when things need completed urgently. But there are methods to go about it. First think about the 5 W's. Who, what, when, why, where. Apply this logic to one of your tasks. The 'who' will factor the 'how' situation, so don't worry there. But wait just there! That's great for adding features. … Continue reading Quick Changes
Sometime it’s not clear
It's not always clear what to expect when building software especially when you're reliant on user stories that don't describe the full story. But then again, sometimes user stories can't be clear without some visual concepts what the users needs. From experience with visual concepts, many users thought this was it, concrete. Maybe that's because … Continue reading Sometime it’s not clear
