Individuals began understanding that TDD is reasonable just in set number of cases. For instance, it is basically impossible to imagine anything algorithmically non-minor utilizing TDD. cvshealthsurvey.blog helps a lot to take part in the survey.
Work from home. Pointy haired bosses have an easier time doing their surveillance and whatnot when they have physical access to workers, in part because a corridor contact leaves very little trace, unlike chat and video conferencing software.
Our global surveys reach over 30,000 software creators each year across 165+ countries. We first listen to what they have to say and then share their voice with the world, helping the ecosystem grow
We are actually running our 2022 Q1 Developer Nation Survey to capture likes, dislikes and understand what has become mainstream and what is still an emerging trends. If anyone wants to add their view, this is it.
(P.S there are prizes, vouchers and swag draws as a thank you to survey respondents)
Seems to beg the question of whether TDD will fade, is fading or has already faded. I notice I'm not seeing as many articles about it as I used to - although perhaps only a finite number were ever required and the quota has been reached.
This is interesting. TDD is still a very useful concept. The methodology might not be the most comfortable to everyone, the result is very desirable. While I don't necessarily write my tests first before my code, I always make sure I cover my code with the same coverage and simplicity, and I encourage people to do so.
People started realizing that TDD is suitable only in limited number of cases. For example, there is no way to invent anything algorithmically non-trivial using TDD.
Hi, I normally contract in MSBI, SQL, Data Arcitecture, Oracle, .Net/.Net Core, API development, React, focusing on www.cryptostatto.com at the moment. Reach out if you see any synergy.
Hi Ben, hopefully, companies will start waking up to how unproductive Agile is as a methodology for building robust reliable software.
When people say how successful Agile is in major companies. I say - look at the Market Cap of Bitcoin - not a project manager or scrum master in sight. :)
Certainly, I notice a lot more criticism of the process by developers than previously. An example is here.
Ingo Steinke is a Berlin-based senior web developer focusing on front-end web development to create and improve websites and make the web more accessible, sustainable, and user-friendly.
While jQuery has been anything but a "trend" for many years now (thanks to the many updates to ECMAScript, thanks to frameworks like Angular, Vue, and React, and last but not least thanks to Babel making it possible to actually use the current JavaScript / ECMAScript core language features without having to care much about browser compatibility), it is still widely used according to the 2021 Web Almanac: "jQuery remains the most popular library, used by a staggering 84% of mobile pages. React usage has jumped from 4% to 8% since last year."
Retro themes like your cPanel screenshot spark some kind of nostalgia in me. I am far from glorifying "good old days" (mostly everything is better about web development than it used to be then, and I don't even miss coding in Perl) but I had been younger and the emerging possibilities of the web still seemed newer and more exiting to me.
Another retro example is the backend of Shopware 5, an e-commerce software / framework based on Symfony. Besides their current version, Shopware 5 is still officially supported and widely used, but they never changed the backend design:
Last (and least!) homepage slideshow carousels seem to polarize for years. I don't know any web developers who like them, there have been many articles and studies about bad usability and useless marketing effects, but still customers, and even more so, design agencies seem to love carousels. I just finished an article where I reviewed a carousel component with the same feeling like when will designers finally stop requiring carousel sliders?! 🤷😆
Native apps. They make no sense unless you're making games. Devs don't like the Apple and Google tax. Mobile Web is gaining momentum.
Google should have focused Stadia on web based mobile gaming instead of AAA games. It would have been a death sentence for native apps. Browsers will soon have APIs to give better access to client's GPUs.
FB is moving away from mobile as a platform. Their bet on Oculus~Metaverse is paying off. Best year so far. Got one for Xmas and its an exciting new platform.
Was gonna say "Metaverse" and "web3" - but they've been said already. Worth saying again though. Some good stuff will come from them, sure... but they're mainly BS

Centralized and privacy invading tech.

Can it please be the blockchain and imaginary web3.
