@eltintero Doing good. Let's catch up sometime!

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

@dvdsgl I wouldn't be surprised if @glideapps can do all of this sooner or later!

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

@dvdsgl @glideapps Was always confident this would happen

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

@aakrit We are building custom software for internal business processes using AI and NoCode at @ModernProcesses
Would love to catch up sometime and showcase what we are upto!

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

@eltintero @LowCodeAgency It's so weird, but my story is very similar to yours. Started at a family owned business with old school software that was heavily dependent on coders; learnt relational databases using Google Sheets; found @glideapps in the process and @ModernProcesses was born!

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

@eltintero How did you tackle it?
It's catch 22 situation!

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

@eltintero I hope you got paid well for this hassle

Founders, what are some other hacks that you have used to maintain discipline in the office culture?

P.S.: I too had to pay ₹1200 in the first month because of this hack, as I was caught breaking discipline occasionally by other team members. 😂😂

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

Thus, this hack allowed me to keep my santiy while making punishments cool.

It also brought in some wonderful innovations in terms of foul language.

E.g. A term called Ben Stokes came into the picture, & it started being used a lot more in office. I hope you know what it is. 😉

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

Why?

The next fun session was getting better as the team members were paying for it.

It made the company culture way more friendlier.

It also broadened the discipline required without me having to take a lot of stress as a boss & becoming a difficult boss to deal with.

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

So if anybody in the team is breaking the discipline and paying fine money, others get benefited from it in the form of fun sessions.

Just by making this small switch, the vigilance passed on from me to all other team team members, and they were happy doing it.

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

Every time you're using foul language or something which is not supposed to be spoken inside an office environment, ₹100 flat fine would be charged to that team member.

But these charges collected from the team members will be directly used for fun sessions for the same team.

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

Every minute a person is late to a meeting, .1% of their salary will be fined.

So basically, if you're earning ₹10,000 a month, you'll be charged ₹10 per minute that you are late.

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

The intuitive way by which I could have solved this problem was by becoming a harsh boss and becoming a vigilant manager. (Both of which I hate.)

But I wanted to find an innovative way out.

So, here is what I did to tackle these 2 discipline problems:

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

1. Team members were coming late to the office meetings by two to ten minutes and were wasting each other's time.

2. Team culture became so friendly and open that people started casually using foul language inside the office. This definitely couldn't be tolerated.

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

I was facing the problem of maintaining discipline in the office as a growing entrepreneur.

(Mainly because the team has now become close friends with each other).

There were 2 main discipline issues:

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

This one hack helped me build a disciplined office culture without being perceived as a strict boss:

The Hack: Giving a party to my team members for keeping each other accountable.

Let me explain the hack and the problem in depth now.

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

Once you're done with these six steps, you can take it to any development environment, be it NoCode or Code, and start building the app from there.

Did I miss something in this checklist? Let me know in the comments.

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

A simple 6-step checklist I would follow if I had to start as a beginner NoCode app developer again.

I created it after doing more than 1000+ hours of NoCode consultation and tutoring. 👇🏻

[Manan Mehta @MananNMehta]

Start with building the database for storing all the data.

Then create the logic, for the data to flow from point A to point B.

And finally build the frontend, the looks and UI of the app. (This is the way I prefer to do it.)
