"Working software over comprehensive documentation"

It never ceases to amaze me how many devs I feel have interpreted this single line as

"Documentation is an absolute waste of time when I could be coding. And I can always be coding, so let me do just that."

[Chryssa Aliferi @ChryssaAl]

"Small teams fewer than four members are not teams.
I've sponsored quite a few teams of one or two people, and each time I've regretted it. To repeat: I have regretted it every single time."

An Elegant Puzzle. Systems of Engineering Management.

At @withplum we recently introduced an automated process for translating our mobile app features, fast and reliably across 4 languages. In this article, our translation hero @MeTaXaS4, explains the technical automation details as well as the challenges of this process! 👏👏

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Hot take: what is holding back most companies in becoming better at tech is that their leaders - CEOs, CTOs, VP Engs - have never worked on high-performing software teams as an engineer.

Their understanding of "best in class software teams" will always lag behind reality.

Proud to be part of the Women in Technology World Series - Online Festival on 3-5th of November!

Women leadership has a special place in the ever-changing engineering world as well! My journey at @withplum has filled me with experience that is really worth to talk about!

.@withplum having some really great growth numbers

since the beginning of the pandemic, Plum has been the most downloaded UK investment app on Android with over 380,000 downloads

that's well above the Robinhood alternative Freetrade with $85m in funding

@MeTaXaS4 Maybe you build time is faster. Try again!

[✨ Phil Calçado @pcalcado]

Some engineers don't care about the problem as long as they get to use interesting tools

Others don't care about the tools they use as long as they get to solve an interesting problem

Both mindsets are great, but a recipe for misery when misaligned with the organization needs

@katmiliaraki @OrfiumMusic @withplum I think 28, along with the variations! I guess then the base colors are less, like 9! Did we beat you? What is our prize? 🎨😁🏆🥰

[Chryssa Aliferi @ChryssaAl]

@katmiliaraki @OrfiumMusic 50 shades of grey?? 😆
For @withplum it's 28! 🎨

[Chryssa Aliferi @ChryssaAl]

@Chris_Margonis @G_Theocharis @lpartsas @withplum Give us some time guys, and you will see... 😁

[Chryssa Aliferi @ChryssaAl]

@kelvndev Sure

[Chryssa Aliferi @ChryssaAl]

@kelvndev @Chris_Margonis @G_Theocharis @withplum Having not used jetpack compose in production yet, I think that is going to be even easier to apply a design components logic to build your design library. Again, I don't think this is a matter of implementation, but rather a matter of mindset.

[Chryssa Aliferi @ChryssaAl]

@Chris_Margonis @G_Theocharis @withplum Apart from the -profound- collaboration of designers and engineers, the key to achieve that is to stop looking at your feature design mockups as layouts with text views or buttons, but as designs with specific components. And of course to iterate on them.👌
