As a company, we strive to cultivate a culture of mentorship, where we can learn from each other in a hands-on way.

We work together to follow good code practices and encourage each other to keep and follow the best standards.
We are open to working with any establishment, no matter their size and firmly believe that we will be able to add value to any establishment, no matter who the client is. We specialise in Fintech - in the banking and payment space. We have also had the opportunity to work with clients from various industries - from Manufacturing to Education.
We prefer working on AWS, but also have extensive experience working on Microsoft Azure and GCP.

Anti-Patterns This usually happens when you’re transitioning from working with one type of technology to the next and don’t really understand the new technology. It can lead to using the same patterns you used in the previous technology instead of adapting to the new one. For instance - when you move from Sql to NoSql and then treat the NoSql databases the same way as relational databases, and try to normalise all data. Another example would be going from JQuery to Angular, (veterans will know the pain of not having 2-way referencing) and then not using the new features that Angular has to offer. Be sure to understand the architecture, technology or framework you are using well. What are some of the worst patterns you have come across? #softwaredevelopers #softwaredeveloper #devs #antipatterns #Sql #NoSql #JQuery #Angular #LightCode #technology #patterns

An observation... Most of our LightCode developers are gamers. So I was wondering - what's the connection between developers and gamers? So, question: are you a gaming dev or not? #developers #gamers #gaming #dev #LightCode #question

Some weeks ago I was chatting with a friend about their hiring process, and I explained to him the way that I approach hiring someone new. Normally I start by looking through many CVs and LinkedIn profiles. I look for skills that are transferable. For instance, a React developer should be able to transition easily to an Angular role. Next, I reach out to them and connect over a phone call. This creates a better picture than what I can get from only an online profile or CV. If I am happy with what I’ve seen thus far, I will schedule a peer coding session with them. In this session they must take me through a project that they have done. It could be anything that they are comfortable sharing. This shows me how they think, which is vital. Essentially the main things that I want to find out about are: Curiosity - are they truly interested in their field? Aptitude - do they think like a Software Developer? Their character and attitude will be what holds all of this together. Throughout our interactions I will be looking for that. What has your #hiring or being #hired experiences been like? #hiringexperience #hiringprocess #SoftwareDeveloper #curiosity #aptitude
