Ep 776776 AGILE Vs. SCRUM - How Companies Got It ALL WRONG! - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Agile methodology is the most sought after software development model today. It promotes continuous iterations in development and testing. Agile is about going fast, releasing often, and working toward the real needs of the users. When it comes to businesses where the requirements are unpredictable, agile should be the go-to methodology. The core values of agile development are: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan The key to the agile plan is that it offers flexibility for changes to the product as it continues to develop. However, the most important thing is understanding that agile is an IDEA. And that is what most software companies and teams get wrong. In today's video we are going to talk about agile methodologies and how it relates to software development.

Ep 769769 How To Learn Artificial Intelligence? (AI) - The Next Big Thing? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Artificial Intelligence is definitely the next big thing. However, programmers still find it hard to understand what A.I. really is and how they can use that bring their programming career to the next level. AI is a broad topic ranging from simple calculators to self-steering technology to something that might radically change the future. The primary goals of AI include deduction and reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, natural language processing (NLP), learning, perception, and the ability to manipulate and move objects. Long-term goals of AI research include achieving Creativity, Social Intelligence, and General (human level) Intelligence. AI has heavily influenced different sectors that we may not recognize. Ray Kurzweil says "Many thousands of AI applications are deeply embedded in the infrastructure of every industry." John McCarthy, one of the founders of AI, once said that "as soon as it works, no one calls it AI anymore." (Source: https://www.hackerearth.com/blog/developers/artificial-intelligence-101-how-to-get-started/) But... Where to start learning A.I.? How you, as a programmer, can incorporate A.I. opportunities in your career? Is there a better programming language to learn artificial intelligence? Is there a specific technology you should learn?
Ep 768768 This SOFT SKILL Will Improve Your DEVELOPER CAREER! - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Being humans (unlike the robots some people think we are), programmers are emotional creatures too. Today I would like to discuss with you why you should learn how to control your emotions as a programmer, and some skills you must develop to improve this master skill. First, jobs and tasks that are given to us as programmers (or ones we assign ourselves) often involve high levels of logical thinking and reasoning. Most programming is a purely logical task. We do not want emotions to come and take us off the logical path. When emotions come into play, it can take a decision that should be 100 percent logical and make it part emotional and part logical. In some cases it can be even worse: it can take a fully logical decision and make it fully emotional. Take a look at this example: Bob, the senior engineer, is in charge of building out the payment system for Antonio Inc.'s backend. His part of the application is due at the end of the week, but he just heard that his girlfriend of three years cheated on him. This sends him into an emotional downward spiral. This causes him to lose focus at work, make poor engineering decisions (like not making a fully secure payment system), and makes him procrastinate, finishing his piece of the backend. If he were purely logical in his decision-making, he would have been able to focus with no problem, and Bob would be able to make the proper sustainable engineering decisions necessary to support the application over the long term. However, if he kept making poor decisions, this could potentially affect his future at the company. This is a situation in which emotional control is crucial for success in your career as a programmer. #softskills #developer #programming If you can learn to take control of your emotions and not let your emotions control you, then you can spend way more time producing and being a happier programmer and person overall.
Ep 767767 The BEST Programming Languages For FREELANCING In 2020 - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt A career as a freelancer is the reality for 35% of the United States' workforce. It is designed for people that desire more freedom, or feel working for an employer limits their ability to be creative. Freelancing is a viable option for programmers interested in earning additional income while employed or starting a full-time business in the future. Both are viable options with a differentiation between active income (working) and passive income (not working to earn income). However, working as a freelance developer might arouse some questions. What programming language should you learn in order to become a successful freelance programmer? Should you learn a specific programming anguage in 2020 to succeed? In the freelance world, there are generalists and specialists. A generalist programmer typically takes on all programming assignments in a variety of industries. The downside to this is that you may be seen as a freelancer that is new to the subject, which results in a low or beginner rate. On the contrary, a specialist is a computer programmer that has worked in a specific industry—like real estate—for five or more years, or one who is knowledgeable of a specific skill set or programming language, like PHP. The advantage of being a specialist is your rates can be set higher because of the value you can offer the client. In today's video we are going to discuss what programming languages and technologies you should focus in 2020 to become a successful freelance developer

And, as the research demonstrates, every aspect of performance goes through the roof. Today I'm going to partner up with Rian Doris, part of the Flow Research Collective.

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Blockchain is one of the hottest skills in tech right now. Don't believe me? Hired.com's 2019 State of Software Engineers report that shows that global demand for Blockchain developers is "through the roof", growing at a rapid rate of 517% year over year! Blockchain developers earn $155,000 per year on average in cities like San Francisco, and you're more likely to earn higher pay in blockchain compared to other disciplines. There's even more good news: the blockchain workforce is highly distributed. That means you don't necessarily have to live an a major tech hub like San Francisco to work for a blockchain business that operates in San Francisco. You can work remotely, which allows you command a "big city salary" while living in an area with a lower cost of living. If you're willing to work as a freelancer, you open up your earning potential even more. Many skilled developers can charge high hourly rates. You might ask, "why are blockchain developers so highly paid?" It's a classic supply-and-demand problem. There simply aren't enough people with blockchain skills to satisfy the demand. Because the supply is small, and the demand is high, the price of compensation goes up. How do you become a highly paid blockchain developer, then? Thats exactly what me and Gregory, from Dapp University, will be talking about
