Innovation matters. It is determinant for organizational growth and consequently to the products that we are building.
Having said that, when it comes down to exploring new opportunities that could lead us to innovation, the way we build and tell these stories can lead us to success (or not). But why isn’t that so easy? Because we are programmed with many behavioral mechanisms that prevent us from acting. To briefly illustrate, one of these behavioral mechanisms is the so-called “negativity bias.” Continue Reading
When dealing with heavy workload functionalities that can have a big impact on web application performance, you may face the need of running it asynchronously (scheduled or not). These asynchronous background tasks can not only drastically improve the scalability of the application by moving those highly consuming operations to the background, but also improve the functionality usability. Once spread on different components, each with its own responsibility, your code can even look cleaner, more isolated and can be easier to maintain.

As a Q.A. analyst, I have learned that the integration between the backend API and the frontend can be difficult to test and somewhat overlooked since unit tests and end-to-end tests are more common. With this approach you’ll have not only a broader understanding of the solution compared to unit tests, but also an increase in test speed and stability.

In this article, I’ll focus on showing how to add, edit and remove items in an array causing mutation and non-mutation ways.
One thing we need to keep in mind when writing code avoiding mutation is to return a new reference to the data after the update.
It’s a common approach when working with functional programming and if you want to understand some concepts of functional programming I recommend you read this article I wrote some time ago.

Have you heard about microgrids, virtual power plants, demand response, or distributed generation concepts? Do you know how these issues relate to the technological trends expected for this year? In the era of startups, innovation, and exponential growth, new models are emerging in different markets to address technological trends that are already a reality in many countries. The energy sector has evolved alongside this trend, creating opportunities for the insertion of new business models, such as those involving distributed generation, and increasingly making the market more flexible.

There has been a lot of hype around the functional programming paradigm for some time and there are a lot of great books and articles about it on the internet, but it’s not so easy to find real examples with its application. So have I decided to create a game trying to follow its concepts using Javascript, which is the most popular programming language today. In this post, I will share some of this experience and tell you if it was worth it.

Atomic Design is a very widespread topic nowadays within the front-end community, but while looking at several projects, I realized that there is still a lot of personal opinion on its implementation, and here I list some points that caught my attention throughout the years.
This article is not a tutorial on how to create your applications but it is intended to share my interpretation on how to best use this amazing methodology. Continue Reading
The Guide to app architecture suggests using ViewModel + Repository with LiveData in order to implement the data flow from Repository to ViewModel. If you use this approach or anything similar, there’s a high chance you could be leaking ViewModel. To help you understand and fix this issue, this article will briefly explain what a memory leak is, some of its implications, what happens when a ViewModel is leaked, why it happens and how to fix it for good.
