Technical trouble shooters (technical support staff, programmers, application engineers) are smart people. And puzzles, mysteries are sometimes fun to them. Yes, they tend to like games. As a matter of fact, I have found them to be a bit competitive in a fun-loving way with these attributes. Games are a fun way to elevate a team's competency and skill level with products, services and solutions specific to our products and services. From time to time, I have enjoyed pitting these folks against each other in games that resemble Jeopardy, Tic Tac Toe or Hollywood squares. Almost anything can be turned into a game. Include a trophy, some prizes and they have a pretty darn good time. And, if they happen during a company annual summit or retreat, other departments enjoy watching. It has the added benefit of team building and building confidence between departments. Warning: Not the easiest activities to put together and certainly not to be taken lightly. Has your company every tried doing anything to make learning and team building fun?

We recently asked some CTOs on their concerns and their selection criteria for using an offshore development centre: 1. All cited language and cultural barriers and consequently communication and collaboration challenges as one of their concerns. 2. More than half were concerned if they could find the relevant technical skill sets offshore. 3. About half voiced concerns about loss of IP or if their IP could be protected. What are your main concerns for using an offshore software development centre? Reach out to Snap Outsourcing Pte Ltd for a solution that fits your needs.

The difference between these three types of software engineers isn't just in their work ethic—it's in their approach to collaboration and support. Type 1 sees success as a solitary journey, believing that others must struggle as they did. Type 2, however, understands that success is a collective effort and works to create opportunities for others to thrive, which is the true essence of leadership. Type 3 embodies humility, recognizing the role of luck and others' contributions in their success, and is eager to give back without expecting anything in return. At the end of the day, it's the Type 2 and Type 3 mindsets that foster growth, teamwork, and a culture of giving. Those are the people who inspire real change. Neo Kim

The deterioration of quality in software has been going on for some time now. We feel the effects more and more why devs keep spending time arguing about naming and code formatting. At the same time the software controls more and more of the world, while people who are responsible for maintaining it become less and less proficient. The advancements in hardware allowed this to happen. Our eagerness to reward amount of engineers per company instead of quality of work per engineer allowed this to happen. The meaningless deadlines allowed this to happen. A lot of reasons. Laziness to use one's brain not excluded. While the world is down and waiting for the safe mode reset...

There are 3 types of software engineers (in life and business): Type 1: • I worked hard to get to where I am. • No one helped me, so you're on your own. Type 2: • I worked hard to get to where I am. • Now I get to unlock doors for others. Type 3: • I don't know how I got to where I am. • Now I shall try to help others. The bottom line: • If you're Type 2 or Type 3, you're my people. —— 👋 PS - Join 100,000 and get the powerful system design template (it's free): → https://lnkd.in/eWAp5ZwE ——— If you liked this post: 🔔 Follow Neo Kim ♻ Repost to help others find it 💾 Save this post for future reference

The worst software engineer. Ever. An absolute genius. Fast, software bug-free software. And still - I say the worst. Why? Because the coding always missed the specs: "You didn't code the requirements." "I am always right." A few days later: "You still need to complete the requirements." "Then, the requirements need to be corrected." 👉 Engage with Frank Kanu for bold perspectives on leadership, strategy, and driving growth.
