Under the Umbrella: Custom Software Solutions Blog

There's a saying we like to kick around the office, "always write code like the person maintaining it after you is a homicidal psychopath that knows where you live." Basically, it means write clean code. There are many reasons writing clean code is important, but Technical Debt is probably at the top of that list. While Technical Debt is a topic that is not widely known outside of the software development industry, it's one that can have far reaching effects.

Lose weight and save more money; if you asked someone to name three things that they want, you can bet that one, if not both of these would be on the list. It's pretty much what we did for SANESolution with application program interface optimization.

Devin Chappell is all about the quality code. As a Full Stack Developer at Inverse-Square, most of Devin's days are made up of solid programming which as far as he is concerned, is pretty great. Give him a chilled, laid back environment, and Devin is quite content to code all day long. Luckily for him and us, Devin finds the vibe at the Inverse-Square office perfect in that capacity. And when he goes home, sometimes he even works on his own programming projects.

I'm not really sure how it happened. I swore off formal process control documents when I left corporate life fifteen years ago, yet here I sit writing a blog post defending the use of Change Requests (CR) forms and actually meaning what I'm saying. I've grown to love CR forms, and I think our clients should too. Ask anyone who's been in a contract relationship how they feel about CR forms and the response is almost unanimous, they love to hate them. The reason is pretty straight forward; they tend to add project cost, slow things down and remove freedom. I used to feel the the same way and then I had to have one too many hard conversations at the end of a web application development project.

We can't celebrate Inverse-Square's fifth anniversary without celebrating Joe Diekhoff.
