The best way to build confidence in your solution…

…Is to get early feedback.

🟢 Discuss your ideas before implementing them.
🟢 Get someone to eyeball your solution as early as possible.
🟢 Deploy something and let people have a play as soon as you can.

Too often, I've found myself tucked away working on a feature, going deeper and deeper down that rabbit hole...

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.

  • Plus #RIM relying hard on business clients and their proprietary applianced mail systems and having big carriers upsell to business people made them look outdated & quite literally out of touch once #iPhone went mainstream.

I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.

  • Unlike #Mozilla fucking up #FirefoxOS by refusing to sell devices to #developers, by the time RIM & #Nokia came from their high horses, their market shares had been squeezed into mere "rounding errors" by #iOS and #Android as it was way cheaper and easier to get #Apps developed, tested, sold, bought and use them than on their devices.

#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...

In software engineering, we are often encouraged to think about our contribution...

👉 What did " I " do yesterday...?
👉 What am " I " doing today...?

The language we use, both inwardly and outwardly, sets the tone for how we work and interact with others…

Software engineering is a team game; our language should reflect that…

The obvious:
👉 What did "the team" do yesterday?

Yes, it is true! 😏
🎙️💻 It's Webinar Time!

... and we’re back with another ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar — because impactful conversations and meaningful perspective exchanges are what we’re all about.

🚀 After the success of our debut session “AI In Healthcare: Who Benefits, Who Pays, And Who’s At Risk?” (missed it? Watch it on demand 👉 crowdcast.io/c/ai-in-healthcar) —we’re diving back in with a brand-new conversation focused on the heart of what drives our work: cybersecurity, technology, and society.

💡 Secure Coding = Developer Power: How To Convince Your Boss To Invest In You An ITSPmagazine Webinar With Manicode Security 🗓️ April 16, 2025

We’re honored to welcome two brilliant minds joining Sean Martin, CISSP — yes, of course, he’s pretty sharp too 😬 — for this one:

🎙️💥 Jim Manico, Founder and Secure Coding Educator at Manicode Security
🎙️💥 Jimmy Mesta 🤙, Course Instructor for Manicode and CTO at RAD Security

Why does #securecoding still feel like an afterthought? This session tackles that question head-on—covering why most companies don’t invest in secure coding training, how developers can advocate for themselves, and how this skillset can seriously boost your career. We’ll even get into some live code reviews and automation demos you won’t want to miss.
