Python is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world and offers a wide range of possibilities to implement solutions professionally and efficiently. However, to realise the full potential of Python, it is essential to understand the best practices and apply them. In this blog post, we would like to present you with our guidelines for successful Python development.

Sustainable IT is a question of software quality. Excellent software is sustainable and has as little negative impact on preserving a habitable environment as possible. In this blog post, we will look at what sustainability as a testable requirement in software quality assurance means and how we implement it.

In this blog post, we would like to present the Visual Studio Code extensions that are indispensable in our day-to-day work as experts in the fields of machine learning, data engineering and AI. If you do not have the appropriate extensions, Visual Studio Code would not be a full-fledged integrated development environment (IDE). But with the right ones, you can save yourself a lot of work and become more productive as a developer.

The Lugano office opened just before the first lockdown and has been growing rapidly since then. Its success is reflected in core process projects for major companies in a wide range of industries. How exactly does TI-Shore do this?

In my view, traditional user stories do not offer the team enough opportunity to stretch their creative legs. I think there are good reasons for writing real stories in backlog items – user experience (UX), customer centricity and, last but not least, motivation. Everyone on the team can identify with a real story – no matter what their role is or what their background is (technical or otherwise). I will explain why in this blog post.

The narrative that sustainability is time-consuming, expensive and contradicts business goals still persists. Critics of regulation in particular stubbornly uphold this dogmatic belief. Therefore, in this blog post, we will take a look at how much truth there is to this and why digital technologies are a decisive factor when it comes to environmental and economic sustainability.

In this blog post, we will introduce OpenAI’s latest stroke of genius: GPT-4, the latest and most advanced version of the generative pre-trained transformer language model. With the ability to process both image and text inputs and produce human-like text output, GPT-4 demonstrates human-level performance at various professional and academic benchmarks. Its enhanced reasoning, knowledge storage and coding capabilities make the application a powerful tool for natural language processing tasks. You will find out more about the development and use of this cutting-edge technology in our blog post.

In a rapidly changing environment, where needs, markets and technologies are changing at an ever-increasing pace, it is important not to lose focus and to adapt to the speed of these changes. This jungle can be described using the acronym VUCA – which is short for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity. In this blog post, we will explain exactly what this means and how to escape the VUCA world.

In the first part of our post, we clarified what exactly the Stack Overflow Developer Survey is and then asked what kind of education developers have, how long they have already been working or how they like to learn. This part is about the most popular programming languages, tools and technologies used as well as different opinions about the future of software development.
