The Growing Role of UI/UX in Software Development: Mike Robinson of Utah Shares His Insights

UI and UX have become essential components of software development, ensuring a seamless and satisfying user journey.
UI focuses on the visual and interactive aspects, while UX ensures a seamless and satisfying user journey.
UI and UX complement each other, balancing aesthetics and functionality to build trust and enhance usability.
Creating effective software begins with a structured approach to UI/UX design from understanding user needs to refining through feedback.
UI/UX design evolves alongside technology and shifting user expectations, and designers adapt by embracing simplicity and prioritizing mobile-first design.
Simplicity enhances usability while minimalist design removes unnecessary elements, improving the focus on tasks without distractions.
Mobile-first principles prioritize simplicity, speed, and clarity by reducing load times and improving performance, meeting user expectations.
Innovative aesthetics can also complicate usability and regular testing and user feedback are essential to understanding shifting demands.
UI and UX design has become a driving force in modern software development, shaping how users interact with technology.
Falling short in user experience leads to dissatisfaction and abandonment and addressing diverse user preferences requires foresight and flexibility.

Indexing code at scale with Glean

Meta has released Glean, an open-source code indexing system. Glean can extract information about source code and produce it to developer tools through an efficient query language. Developed by Facebook to navigate scale on efficiently, Glean has since been expanded for use within Meta to better build code browsing, search, and documentation generation.
Code indexing, the job of collecting data from code, is essential for navigating code, such as code navigation (“Go to definition”) in an IDE or code browser; code documentation; and code analysis tools, such as dead code detection or linting.
The larger the codebase, the more important it is to do code indexing ahead of time as it becomes impractical to have the IDE process all the code at startup. Glean has been developed as a centralized indexing infrastructure that can power many powerful developer tools.
Glean’s query language is very general, enabling it to extend beyond just code navigation. Storing arbitrary language-specific data provides powerful elements such as detecting dead code, while providing a language-neutral view of the data.
Glean allows for incremental indexing, addressing the perennial problem of providing up-to-date data about the latest code. We can’t make indexing alertary, but Glean enables processing just the changes, obtaining O(changes) over O(repository).
Glean has been deployed within Meta to better build code browsing, search, and documentation generation. Our target was C++ developers initially due to the long compile times but we imagine other languages following the same path in the future. Glean can also be used to detect and remove dead code, track progress on API migrations, and automate data removal.
Glean is open-source and available for use. There’s a growing number of ad-hoc queries made by people and systems to solve a variety of problems, thanks to Glean’s general concept.

Make Makefiles Great Again: Why It’s Time to Bring Back the OG Workflow Boss

Makefiles, which were conceived in 1976 by Stuart Feldman during his time at Bell Labs, were born out of necessity to simplify the build processes for software projects.
Makefiles became the backbone of software engineering, powering numerous projects in modern computing.
Makefiles have been overshadowed by flashy, stack-specific CLI tools like npm, pip, and cargo.
Makefiles are stack-agnostic, universally understood, and still perfectly capable of orchestrating complex workflows.
Makefiles will handle every language like JavaScript, Python, Rust, Docker without complaining.
Makefiles are perfect for projects where rebuilding everything would otherwise take ages. They won’t bother running the same task again if something hasn’t changed.
Makefiles reduce complex workflow into a single command for every developer including junior team members.
Writing a Makefile is like writing a recipe: just list your ingredients (dependencies) and steps (commands).
Makefiles can simplify even the most daunting Kubernetes workflows and tidy up data pipelines.
Adopting Makefiles means improving your own productivity and creating workflows that are easier for your teammates to understand, your future self to maintain, and your CI/CD pipeline to execute.

How Blockchain Developers Can Avoid Job Offer Scams: Protect Your Code and Wallets

Blockchain developers are increasingly targeted by scams, with incidents ranging from dishonest job offers to tests that provide hackers with their client codes.
Developers are thought to be particularly susceptible to such frauds because malicious code could easily damage or delete essential assets and files.
Scammers use social media contacts such as LinkedIn and Upwork, sourcing supposedly legitimate work honing-in on convincing-sounding stories and roles.
Such attempts, known as web3 scam, ploy developers to run fatal malware covertly embedded in the code via a test task, home to fundamental flaws to swipe private keys, project details and wallets.
Blockchains token and decentralized financing continue to climb from $5.5bn in 2020 to a forecasted $1tn by 2032.
SCAND recommend verifying potential customers and conducting KYC checks such as checking communication preferences and a thorough identity check.
Experienced SCAND developers carry out virus checks and examine code bases with strict scrutiny to spot any suspicious parts.
Hostile code is deployed entirely within isolated environments free from any harmful impact.
SCAND retain sensitive information on lockdown and do not give production access to any members, plus a tiered structure firewall and strong encryption is introduced.
Collaboration from a wider development community and equipped with knowledge in current trends in security, will help boost the likelihood of recognizing and combating fraud.
