1. Looking for a software house in Poland? Do not do this. Polish developers are still living in the past

“Communism has not really ended in Poland! The country is still in the backwater. Nobody knows about Polish developers as their programming skills are probably very low. Software houses hardly grow. And the prices? They are so downgraded that the quality of their services must be at an extremely poor level. In short, give up your thoughts about Poland. It is not trendy.”

4. Testing JavaScript... with Ruby?!

"While Codest is primarily a Ruby shop, one of the many projects we are building is in JavaScript. It is a client-side library, which runs in a pretty challenging environment: it has to support pretty much every browser in existence, including very old ones, and to top it off it interacts with a gaggle of external scripts and services. It is tons of fun."

5. EU tech companies are growing fast, but the US still hold the leading position on the market

"Though in terms of value the tech companies market in Europe is still much behind the one in the US, it is undoubtedly an attractive place for development of new startups.

8. GraphQL: lessons learned in production

“It is 2019. Your team increasingly leans towards building single page applications, or at least including rich components within regular multi-page applications. GraphQL is over two years old now, which by JavaScript ecosystem standards could be considered mature. We were feeling a little adventurous, so we forewent the usual JSON APIs and dove right in – here’s what we learned.”

9. Is Berlin becoming a new Europe’s Silicon Valley for tech startups?

“Everything indicates that we are witnessing a revolution on the startup market in Europe. The dynamically growing market in Berlin is becoming a leader among tech startups.

10. Custom projects and outsourcing. The ways to cooperate with software houses

“If you have ever considered using a software house’s services, you probably wondered what the process of cooperation between your company (customer) and the software house looks like. Most companies from the technology industry use a similar model of cooperation. Most often we talk about custom projects – developing an idea from scratch – or outsourcing.”
