Don’t build one platform. Build many interlinked apps. This will let you create a solution that is faster to change, easier to test and cheaper to build.
If you can live close to where you work, I think you’ll have more enjoyable life, more productivity and be more committed so they to do that if you could. Clive Schlee, CEO Pret A Monger
If you speak directly and confront problems directly, give feedback directly, take pleasure getting feedback, you’ll learn quickly, you’ll earn respect of others and you’ll solve problems more quickly. Clive Schlee, CEO Pret A Monger
We have as many Macs as Windows laptops. Needless to say that those are two very different worlds that meet at Office. Usually Office works as expected. Windows Office is more reliable and has richer functionality but Office for Mac appears more stylish in the eyes of Mac lovers. The issue is that El Captain, a new iOS update, and Office don’t get on. Don’t allow for OS upgrades without testing core apps.

Only a few years ago, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS options didn’t exist. If the motivation is to have scalable IT, start with SaaS options and move down the value chain. Picking on-perm or even IaaS requires a solid business justification today.
The 80/20 rule applies. Focus on finding the bottlenecks and come up with the plan that can include:
– Quick wins: Refactor specific code or scale up Cloud to get you over the hump
– Lasting solution: Iterate to create platform that works in the Cloud
I debated the value of team meetings for a few weeks now.
Finally decided to give it a go. 45mins of round the table:

– Dependency on others
Great design shouldn’t be reserved only for the mass market products. Your colleagues will use the business apps that you build every day.
Design them to be usable and also to look modern and tidy. Nothing worst then using the app that you know could look much better. Get a template from Theme Forest. If in doubt select one of the best sellers for your use case and you will be 80% there.
