Avoid These 5 Common Mistakes When Building Systems 😅 𝟭. 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲: ❌ Mistake: Over-optimizing code without understanding real performance needs. ✅ Solution: Prioritize optimizations based on benchmarks and actual user requirements. 𝟮. 𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗨𝗫): ❌ Mistake: Focusing solely on functionality without considering the user experience. ✅ Solution: Regularly gather user feedback, conduct usability testing, and prioritize UX enhancements. 𝟯. 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: ❌ Mistake: Building features without aligning with business goals. ✅ Solution: Clearly define business objectives and regularly assess development alignment. 𝟰. 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: ❌ Mistake: Developing without scalability considerations. ✅ Solution: Design with scalability in mind, use scalable architectures, and plan for growth. 𝟱. 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: ❌ Mistake: Neglecting long-term maintenance planning. ✅ Solution: Incorporate regular maintenance into the development plan, keeping tech up-to-date for security and efficiency. Let's build robust and user-centric solutions! 🔥 Any of the above mistakes have you made in the past?

This is probably going to hurt many developers, but users don’t care about the tech stack or what’s modern about it. They care about the experience. As developers, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest frameworks, libraries, and tools. We love exploring cutting-edge technologies and building with the latest and greatest. But at the end of the day, users are focused on one thing: how well the product solves their problems. Is the interface intuitive? Is the application fast and reliable? Does it make their lives easier? These are the questions that truly matter. So, while it's important to stay updated with technology, we must remember to prioritize user experience above all. After all, a seamless user experience is what keeps users coming back, not the technology behind it. #UserExperience #Development #TechStack #CustomerFirst #ProductDesign

Nearly every tech business runs on third-party technology. Visit the website for any of the common services in use, and you'll find documentation to help engineers get up and running. Carefully written pages that delve into the ins and outs of how the service works, and how to integrate it. Despite the ubiquity of these docs pages it's rare to find the same care given to non-technical documentation for designers. Considering the possibility for wasted effort and time by having a Design Gap between what's on paper and what's doable, I find it confusing that we don't see more time given to this. I'd like to see services that offer some of the fundamental technologies we rely on thinking as much about design experience as dev experience. This is something I started at Impala, answering common problems like the best way to display date selection, or how to format hotel data for internationalisation. Services should be opinionated about good UX. They already implement that in their off-the-shelf/ no-code experiences, why not codify the decisions that resulted in those products?

How do you ensure your code stands the test of time? Design Patterns. If you ever wondered what makes your favorite apps so seamless and scalable, this is the secret. So here’s how to get started: 🔸 Singleton Pattern 🔸 Imagine your app needs a single, shared resource access point - like a configuration manager. Singleton ensures that a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it. It’s like having one key to a treasure chest that everyone in a team can use, but nobody can duplicate. 🔸 Factory Pattern 🔸 This is the mastermind behind object creation without exposing the creation logic to the client. Think of it as a manufacturing plant that decides which product to produce based on the demand. It keeps your code flexible and makes the addition of new products a breeze. 🔸 Observer Pattern 🔸 Picture a subscription service where the subscribers get notified every time a new video is uploaded. Observer pattern helps in creating a subscription model where objects can observe and react to events. It’s the backbone of real-time data updates in apps, making sure you’re always in the loop. Why does this matter? Design patterns are the architects of your code’s future, making it maintainable, scalable, and resilient. Ready to dive deeper into the world of design patterns?

🚀 Unlocking the Puzzle of Software Design: Navigating the Complexity 🌐 After nearly a decade in the realm of process optimization and management, you'd think tackling software app design would be a walk in the park, right? Wrong! 😅 Here's the shocker - I've been thrown for a loop discovering just how tough it can be to nail down app functionality. 📱💡 When I dive into design mode, my mission is clear: whisk users to their destination with maximum speed and efficiency. It's all about that end goal! 🎯🚀 But here's the twist—when it comes to MVP (Minimum Viable Product), I've learned to dial back on the fancy bells and whistles. Why? Because speed is king! 🏃♂️🔥 Now, here's the million-dollar question: How on earth do you properly plan and predict the design of a function? 🤔 How to define when after initial design you see that every step opens the user demands. 🎆 🎖 When you plunge into the nitty-gritty - analyzing data connections, building/configuring Bubble object functionalities - you realize predicting all possible interactions and choosing the top one is like herding cats. 🐱🙀 And setting a reasonable timeframe? Let's just say it's easier said than done! 📅⏳ So, dear LinkedIn, spill the beans: How do you handle software project estimations and functions design, especially when faced with a whirlwind of unknowns? 🌪️ 💻 Share your wisdom, recommend best sources, swap stories, and let's crack this code together! 💪💬 #SoftwareDesign #ProjectEstimations #MVPStrategy 🚀 (image by #LeonardoAI)

Having the right tech stack can be a massive productivity booster. Too often companies will just cobble something together over years of being in business. I get it. Businesses grow organically and sometimes sporadically. However, having a well thought out integrated tech stack can be an absolute gamechanger. At Deltabit, we follow these key principles when building productivity-driving tech stacks: 1. Identify bottlenecks first before evaluating any new tools. 2. Prioritise solutions with robust integration capabilities. Disjointed systems just create busywork. 3. Emphasise intuitive UX and ease-of-adoption over complex offerings for most use-cases. 4. Build the stack ensuring technologies complement each other. Forming a unified environment. Achieving a big productivity boost requires thoughtfully choosing software that suits your specific workflows and objectives. You don’t want to get “shiny object syndrome” and just use the latest hot apps.

DON’T PENALIZE YOUR USERS FOR THEIR MISTAKES. People make mistakes. Anticipate users making every possible mistake and make it easy to undo those mistakes. Prioritizing user-friendly design to accommodate human error is crucial in creating intuitive and forgiving user experiences.

Soto Digital Question of the Day: Where should you invest when you’re not actively adding features? Robert Nelson: When you’re not adding things, remove things. Get rid of unused features. Cleaning up tech debt is always a good idea. Elyssa Yesnes: Clean up your experience and tighten up UI changes that slipped through the cracks. A seamless user experience keeps everyone happy.  Nick Colgan: Update libraries, infrastructure, and work to automate/make dev processes easier. What do you think?
