* Productized software services can save you time and resources. * You get a team of experts, well-versed in technology stacks and HIPAA compliance. * They have the skills to deliver high-quality software results, without the need for hiring and training. * Focus on your core business, while a team of experts handles software needs. * No more worrying about finding the right talent, onboarding, or delays. * Experience immediate software results and get back to what matters. * Why waste time and resources on talent search and onboarding? * Make the switch to productized software services today.

Colin Carroll nails the response to this article. “We’re ramping up on a number of areas where we have our industry partners out there aggressively trying to ramp their software development capabilities. It’s that pace at which we can ramp that I worry about from competition with the private sector,” Hunter said. “I don’t have any concerns about the quality of the people that we’re getting, it’s just that I want more.” Government can't ramp at the same pace because it can't compete on education pipeline, pay packages, or process reform. Current trends in space make it clear that if you give industry freedom to work in a domain then it will create better solutions. Take a look at the advancements in Space Domain Awareness (SDA) by teams at LeoLabs and True Anomaly. If the problems aren't already being solved by industry, it's probably because they haven't been clearly identified and defined. Time is of the essence. Define the problems and collaborate with people that have the passion and skills to solve them.

Consistency is key in safety-critical software development. Conflicting characteristics related to timing, performance, prioritization, and other aspects must be avoided. Uniform and consistent terminology in both code and documentation helps prevent confusion, contributing to a cohesive and error-free development process. #LandiIndustries

I always cringe a little when I read quotes like this. It’s like, you almost had it, but then you went full Eric Schmidt on me. The Air Force needs better software, and it needs to acquire it from software companies that employ world class software developers and test engineers. It doesn’t need better, or more, software developers within its ranks, or as butts-in-seats contractors within its mid-TRL development organizations at AFRL or AFLCMC. It needs better-educated leaders and technical program managers who understand how to acquire and sustain software as a part of their weapon system. When I worked on Project Maven, I had a $1.2B software program over the FYDP. Guess how many software developers we had in the office at USDI&S? One, and he was our lead architect and didn’t write a single line of code in three years. Guess who did our software development? Commercial software companies — from big tech to non traditionals to small VC-backed dual use startups. We had a UARC doing some coding for specialized aspects that commercial hadn’t invested in yet. And our software was in high demand by the warfighter, was able to be iterated via a true CI/CD pipeline, and benefited from billions in commercial investment and thousands of prior user repititions. The DoD isn’t a software company; envisioning a future where it is, and trying to lay out a path to get there, is a flawed approach.

Understanding Software Development Costs How much does it cost to build software? Two main approaches to estimating software development costs are: 1. Module/Feature-Based Cost Estimation Breakdown: Divide the project into modules or features, estimate costs based on complexity and effort. Advantages: Detailed cost assessment, flexibility, clear accountability. Considerations: Potential for scope creep, time-consuming, accurate complexity assessment needed. 2. Hiring a Dedicated Programming Team Execution: Hire a team or outsource to handle the project, estimate costs based on duration and team rates. Advantages: Comprehensive support, adaptability, faster time to market. Considerations: Higher upfront costs, dependency on team performance, potential communication challenges. Conclusion Choosing the right method depends on project scope, budget, flexibility needs, and risk tolerance. Weigh the trade-offs to determine the best approach for your project. #SoftwareDevelopment #CostEstimation #TechBudgeting #SoftwareEngineering

Software development customers are fully dependent on immature contractors. Even if a client is unsatisfied with the results of development, most times they don't risk to switch to different development agencies, because: == Budget is limited, and sure they regret the money they've already spent — Changing the development team is usually painful (at the beginning) == Not many development agencies are willing to work with legacy code — suggesting to fully re-write the application == They are simply tired and discouraged because of the results To not let this happen, here are several indications of capable and mature contractors: 1) You get to speak with either a CEO or a CTO during the sales process. This usually means that the company cares about its face and reputation. If you communicate only with salespeople without required technical expertise, the chances you'll fail are rapidly increasing 2) Their portfolio is legit. Be careful, many will tell you that they've developed some really impressive and big applications, but won't have a single piece of evidence (won't even post it on their website) Especially if their hourly rate is relatively low (somewhere between $27-$35 / hour), you are probably talking to a bullshit artist 3) Make sure they fully understand your business and your pains. Ask them to provide a thorough roadmap displaying what you'll get after each stage of development 4) They have successful cases of launching projects into production and maintaining them. Double-check their best cases by Google stats, check for user traffic. Ask what methodologies they are using to conduct technical support (You expect to hear terms like ITIL, ISO 9000, and 3 lines of support)

This month, we explore the anxieties of working with offshore resources and teams. Our founders, Doug Loyo and Emilio Baez, explore this topic comprehensively, examining the challenges and solutions faced by companies opting for this form of software development.
