If you are part of a software development team I’m sure you are all too familiar with today’s brutally agile release cycles. With multiple new features wanted for each cycle you get out the door, the high-paced climate can lead to slow, unstable and buggy code that users don’t like and ultimately aren’t interested in using.
Can anyone remember what life was like without electricity?
During load shedding we are constantly reminded just how dependent we are on electricity as we go to make a cup of tea, turn on the TV, flick a light switch or Google something, only to find that nothing is working.

“Failing to plan, is planning to fail” – Alan Lakein.
I believe that no statement holds truer when taken in the context of development. It is for this exact reason that as developers, we often dedicate entire sprints to planning and laying out required technical functionality/specifications. The technical specification is a powerful tool, its usefulness transcends merely defining scope and complexity.. I would go as far as to say, that any development requirement should be furnished with a technical specification document or breakdown, irrespective of how easy/complex it may seem. Complexity in fact, is one of the major issues that a specification document addresses; and it is through that breakdown and the creation of that technical document, that all assumptions and ambiguity are put to rest. In short, a technical specification document provides developers with clearly defined goals and direction, and ultimately allows for better management of stakeholder expectations.
If you have ever worked in an agency or a media company, then you will have no doubt experienced this problem at least once in your working career. You spend countless hours, days, weeks, months, planning and preparing for your new and exciting campaign. You know it is brilliant. You have worked tirelessly with a team of developers, copywriters, designers and your client to build a ‘never been done before’ campaign. You have tested it, launched it, let your colleagues and a few outside people test it, and the big day arrives. (more…)
What is net neutrality?
Net neutrality is a hot topic in America where it sparks big debate, but is it something we need to be monitoring in South Africa? The idea behind net neutrality (also known as network neutrality, Internet neutrality, or net equality) is that Internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data on the Internet equally, and not discriminate or charge differentially based on user, content, site, or platform.
