The Evolution of Software Management Techniques
Last week we’ve delved into the history of how complex software evolved. In this article, we’re going to talk about how management techniques have come in support and adapted to the changing needs of software development.
As technologies evolved, management paradigms also emerged organically as a response to the increasing complexity of software development. Project managers at important companies and startups alike, needed methods with which to better organize their teams in productive ways.
Software development approaches can be lumped into two main eras: predictive and adaptive. We will take the time in elaborating both of them, as they are …
The evolution of complex software
Software used to be an enterprise-only business. Companies with huge capital were able to fund, research and build large mainframe computers on which to create software. Initially, programmers would have to load code into the mainframes by flicking switches or using punch-hole cards.
Stacks and stacks of paper that would reach the height of a normal human being contained a single program. The loading of the program was a tedious and time-consuming process.
For decades, software used to be written on mainframes by computer programmers at universities. That is, until the Rise of the Microcomputers (anyone …
Client types in 9+ years of developing apps
People come in all shapes and sizes. Some are big, some are small. Some are calm and laid-back, others are neurotic and unsure of what they want. None of them are uninteresting if you know how, when and where to listen.
Because of the advancement of technology, nowadays anybody with an idea can transform it into a product. Throughout the years, we had thousands of leads who wanted us to give them an honest opinion and an estimate on their requirements. Wanting to create an app or a product, has now become mainstream.

Dark Patterns – Trick questions
PART VII
Today marks the end of our journey into the murky world of dark patterns. Even though dark patterns are continually evolving and emerging, today we’re gonna wrap up the series and learn about Trick questions and Fake new notifications.
Trick questions
Most certainly, trick questions would be the Riddler’s (Batman villain) favorite dark pattern.
This type of dark pattern is purposefully crafted to confuse, by using different language artifices, such as intricate wording and double negatives in order to nudge the user into taking the desired action.
This entanglement is further enhanced …
Dark Patterns – Roach motel. Sneak into basket
PART VI
Today is our penultimate stop into the opaque and immoral world of dark patterns. Tune in to learn more about the Roach motel and Sneak into basket dark patterns.
Roach motel
Nobody likes roaches. Not even roaches like roaches. They get through every nook and cranny and find their place inside any home, to the bewilderment of the owner.
As easy as they get in, as hard it is for them to be forced out – if quantified it would probably be almost inversely proportional. As some people might know, cheap motels …
Dark Patterns – Misdirection. Privacy Zuckering
PART V
Because it has been a while since our last post on Dark Patterns, today we’re continuing our journey into the realm of bad and unorthodox UX with three patterns: Misdirection, Price Comparison Prevention and Privacy Zuckering.
Misdirection
Watch out for Ms. Direction or you’ll get fooled. She can easily hide the truth from you.
Wordplay aside, the misdirection dark pattern is a tactic used by services to divert the attention of the user from something important, confusing him or her with unclear choices or promoting other brands of the same company.…

Why Israel Entrepreneurs Choose Romania
Introduction
Nearshoring. The outsourcing of business processes to other companies or agencies in a country near yours. Being in the vicinity of the country you want to outsource your product or software provides a number of benefits, contrary to the more common approach of farshoring.
Farshoring deals with delegating processes to a foreign country situated at a considerable distance from yours. This can provide some benefits, such as finding the lowest cost for your work, but also provides a lot of negatives, such as lower quality of labor, major cultural differences, increased costs of travel, etc.
There are a …
