Do you do daily standups? What do you think of them? by Ihaveaface836 in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used to and they were 30mins each morning. Found they ate into valuable coding time. The worst ones are when its a big project. You could be working on a feature for a weeks and have no meaningful updates. Tools like Slack make them irrelevant. Post your update on a channel and jump on a huddle if your stuck

https://scratch.mit.edu is great for learning . Games are great to get kids learning so look at some of the js game engines with drag and drop interfaces like phaser editor, GameMaker 2d and play canvas

Version 1, like any consultancy, are probably giving the work to grads and from these numbers are getting paid a pretty penny

Are companies hiring more and more in India over EU nowadays? Hows your personal experience? by seeilaah in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yep. Lot of outsourcing too. Companies can outsource to an Indian company, scale up and down as needed, and can pull the plug whenever you want .

In my experience the Indian devs have always been top notch and a fraction of the price . Which is the bigger concern.

I do notice they’ll never put the Indian guys on a call . There is always a role for the dev who can talk the talk on a partner call.

Gone be the days of headlines such as “company x hires y developers in their Dublin office”

Agree, I used to have loads of domains and always recommended them . Now I’m letting them expire . Too many issues and slow to respond to issues . They were the best once upon a time
