In addition to HR-vector we’d like to discuss one more cool project which we’ve been once attached to. We are talking about Pulse.

Pulse appeared on the one of many stages of scaling the company - at the time when we needed additional capacity in order to continue creating even cooler products that please customers. Pulse saved us a lot of resources and time to find managers and technicians for the further company expansion, and also gave us the experience of pitching technical projects.

What is this mysterious Pulse? Read the short review about this project on slides 👉🏻

We love IT space for the fact that you can reach even the farthest horizons there. This all is consequence of the progress, united future with present closer as ever. Even the largest «lump» of development are nearer to you as it seems at first glance, and our regular interviews with famous developers - are proof to this point.

We took one of those interviews from the author of the Elixir programming language. Jose Valim told us about the history of the emergence of the language and his plans for the future, the benefits for large companies, the influence of the community, the choice of name and much more. The coolest points from our meeting we designed into slides so that you can familiarise yourself with them without going far.

📌 However, if you are keen on comprehensive and large-scale information, we are waiting for you on the site. The interview is available in its entirety.

You probably describe the open-source as the most frequently used IT term. Open-source projects are known outside the professional community - they are used worldwide, actively discussed, and closely monitored. We love and respect open-source projects, but let's be honest - they didn’t bring only fame and happiness to their creators but also troubles and headaches.

We will surely talk about headaches later, but, as always, we want to start with positive points, especially since from our point of view there are still more of them. So, you are a web developer, and you want to try yourself in open-source. Why do this?

We continue the open-source development thread by projecting it onto people. Lucky for us, among famous developers, there are a lot who lean on project progress with open-code. We had an opportunity to talk to them in private.

Kenneth Reitz is one of these geniuses. A well-known developer and participant in international conferences. Many know him from his open-source projects. Requests - a simple but elegant library for working with HTTP; and pipenv, a tool for working with packages and virtual environments. Besides programming, he is keen on photography and music.

Kenneth shared his thoughts on the main difficulties with scaling applications. He spoke about applying the async/await paradigm in Python and his PyTheory project and natural programming abilities.

📌 We, as always, brought key thoughts to the slides, and we propose you read the full text of the interview on the site.

We would like to continue the storytelling about open source with a downside - although it's not the tool insufficiency, rather than the fact that while being in a hurry we tend to get delusional

Open-source is great and magnificent, nevertheless, it may not meet your expectations if you approach it from the wrong side. How to prevent these mistakes, and look at open source projects with a clean sincere look - we tell on the slides 👆🏻
