In this article, we will explore the usefulness of GPT-3 for developers by examining its performance in handling three common challenges that they may encounter in their work. These challenges include generating new code, explaining unfamiliar code constructs, and deciphering unusual error messages.

At DEPT® we believe that Kotlin Multiplatform is a true game-changer. By sharing business logic between platforms, we had the opportunity to shift our focus to the UI aspects of an app.

We've updated and open-sourced Terraform scripts to bootstrap your own Mastodon server using AWS, Elastic Container Service and Fargate.

Package management can be something of a headache, but it doesn't have to be that way. Here's some tips to get you on your way with Maven Central.

With a React frontend, Django isn't responsible for the frontend and doesn't know how to start the frontend process. This causes the tests to fail due to there being no frontend to interact with. To fix the failing tests we need to have the frontend running when running the integration tests.

What if you could catch badly performing queries during your local development process? The Spring Boot SQL Explain library does this for you.

If you’ve ever been interested in complex typings in TypeScript, particularly when it comes to typeguards, this is the article for you!

I know what you're thinking because that's my reaction when I hear something like this, so I get it. But it's not like that, I swear.

Templates may use configurations adding up unnecessary expenses. Here's my journey to move away from this config to reduce this project's AWS cost.

What we're trying to do is break down our part one and two, how you can immerse yourself in this world to learn it the fastest and come to appreciate it. Let's talk about “do you have to care about the project or not?”

Know Your Customer (KYC) is an integral part of any Anti-Money Laundering program. In this article I'll go through what KYC is, why you may need it, and how to choose a SaaS provider that fits your needs.

AWS tags are key-value labels you can assign to AWS resources that give extra information about it.

Rust helps mitigate concurrency hazards by design, but it's still up to the programmer to construct their program logic thoughtfully so they can take advantage of the power of concurrent and parallel processing.

Many seem to think that the only proper way to create a phone app is by engineering it natively. In this post, I break down why React Native is a great way to build an app.

Migrations allow us to describe how to adjust the data model of an existing database. They make a scripted, surgical change to a database rather than replacing it entirely and blowing away any content changes.

We recently completed a project with one of the largest affiliate marketing consulting firms in the US which turned out to be a great success for everyone involved. We asked one of the lead consultants on the project, Jason Lombardo, to answer a few questions.

2020 was a hell of a year: A global pandemic, a fraught US election, and ... Microservices! 😬

Here are some things that might be useful for someone else who has experience with RX and starts using LiveData for the first time.

Nowadays just about everyone, everywhere, regardless of age and ability, uses a smartphone. With that in mind, it’s more important than ever to consider all the different ways to make your app accessible to everyone to ensure an inclusive experience. In this series, we’ll be discussing different ways iOS developers can make their apps more accessible. First up, we’ll be talking about Dynamic Type. Dynamic Type is a feature on iOS that enables the app’s content to scale based on the user's

This tutorial will describe how to... install Rust, create a new project and manage dependencies, Set up a simple web server, and compile the app and deploy to a virtual server. I'll be working on Ubuntu 20.04 but most of the setup should be the same on macOS or a different flavor of Linux.

Uploading files to S3 directly from the browser is a great way to increase performance by removing the need to process and then re-upload files from your own server.

In this post, we'll define GitOps, review a sample Terraform app module repo and an associated GitHub Workflow to lint and version the module repo, and review a sample Terragrunt live repo and a GitHub Workflow to apply infrastructure changes.

Recently, we've used a few of AWS's services to create full integration and delivery solutions. In this post we'll look at how we've used AWS CodeBuild and CodePipeline to create a cost effective, performant and code driven end-to-end CI/CD solution.

Our mobile devices and the apps that run on them have a unique insight into our lives. We use them for communication, entertainment, shopping, photography, navigation, and myriad other purposes. Consequently, apps have access to a great deal of information about our preferences, our contacts, where we go, what we buy, and who we are. As app developers, we need to be cognizant of the information being handled by our apps and to safeguard it accordingly. The protection of sensitive information is

The following presentation was transcribed from “SQL and Python for Product Managers” webinar, presented by Colorado Product Meetup and senior software engineer, Brian Schiller. It has been edited for clarity.

The following article was created from a 2021 CppCon talk given by Jonah Jolley. One of our clients has a software product that must comply with federal regulations. For them, they must submit technical documents to a governing body. However, in their case, the codebase didn’t accurately reflect what was documented. This led to an unmitigated, unsafe condition. To solve this issue, we used Clang LibASTMatchers to check the codebase and ensure they were indeed compliant. Why Compliance in Cod

To help others as they make their way through this process, we decided to document and release our findings as a FreeRTOS tutorial for developers. Here is how to get started with ESP32 on Linux.

AWS tags are key-value labels you can assign to AWS resources that give extra information about it.

Docker is a helpful tool for both developers and ops. It can simplify both the development of an application as well as deployment and management of it. In this post we are going to explore a common pitfall related to developing an application in Docker on the Mac and see what we can do to mitigate the issue and work as productively as possible. Developing in Docker Developing in Docker has a number of advantages over developing directly on your Mac. Before we begin, let’s remind ourselves of a

The challenges discussed in this entry are specifically relevant to individuals that have roles in design leadership, product ownership, and user interface design.
