In Cracow Poland, where our Railwaymen team is based, we have this infamous building called “The Skeleton” (in Polish - Szkieletor). It is 92 meters tall, which makes it the highest building in the whole city, higher than the St. Mary's Basilica even!
I am a huge fan of the Sydney Opera House architecture. For me, characteristic roofs resembling gigantic, overlapping shells of mussels look like ships sailing on Sydney Harbour. Danish architect Jørn Utzon won the competition for the design and beat over 230 entries, although he didn't even meet all the competition conditions. He provided only a general Opera sketch. I wonder if he knew then that he designed one of the most famous buildings in the world? I'm delighted with this Opera, but the fact that this building cost 95 million above the first estimation gives me shivers. Yes, the construction costs exceeded the original estimate many times, and the commissioning of the building was postponed for 8 years. Because of the construction conflict, Jørn Utzon had left Australia. A group of young Australian architects completed the rest of the work.
Let’s focus and try to imagine the following: you see two people who own two separate small shops in an average city.
![why do you need it outsourcing? 7 top benefits [based on our fintech app]](https://2581766.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2581766/hubfs/IT-outcourcing-cover-min.png?width=1051&name=IT-outcourcing-cover-min.png)
Through the last 3 years, IT outsourcing's global value remains at the level of over $60 billion per year. Those numbers say that delegation of software development to the external IT resources is a stable tendency. IT outsourcing allows hiring high-quality developers to build any kind of software. That means anyone can become an app owner without knowing how to code.
I love eating out! Discovering new restaurants that have been opened in my city, reading reviews, and experiencing tastes that I would not be brave (or creative!) enough to try out in my own kitchen is a very exciting experience. So when the coronavirus pandemic hit us, after the first shock and making sure that myself and my closest ones are safe I’ve started to order as much food as I could from my favorite places. Why? Because I know, how hard and unpredictable is to run a restaurant - and I didn’t want the places that bring me so much joy to close.
Nowadays many applications are a replacement for the “old” way of buying things. If you want to order food, you don’t have to call a restaurant but you are using e.g. Uber Eats. Or if you are a bookworm and you are not able to take all books with you, you have a phone with the app where you can buy a new one and read it on the go!
While working in software houses and fulfilling the role of Project & Business Development Manager I’ve observed multiple development strategies across various industries: foodtech, healthcare, fintech and many more.
Swift is a programming language for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Linux applications. Apple introduced it in 2014, and since the release, it gradually becomes the most popular technology for iOS mobile apps. Swift became an open-source programming language at the end of 2015. Right now, we have almost 800 contributors that are actively improving the language. The latest version of Swift brings a wide number of changes and new features for iOS app developers. In the 1st quarter of 2020, users were able to choose between almost 1.85 million available apps for iOS.
Being a developer requires continuous problem solving and constant growth. This is especially true when it comes to iOS/Swift development as Swift is changing very dynamically and Apple constantly comes up with new solutions for better UX or quicker apps development. Alongside with language development, the way that developers think about the code changes as well.
Did you know, that only 46,5% of Microsoft employees are engineers? We're talking about one of the biggest software developers in the whole world yet still - less than a half of the people there are actually coding!
