According to a recent survey commissioned by Progress, more than half of global organizations recognize the human-centered software design is a major need and plan to invest in human-centric applications in the next 12 to 18 months. Seventy-six percent of respondents believe that building human-centric applications is more important than it was two years ago due to business considerations and cultural shift ...
We live in a highly autonomous and technological world. We rely on machines and technologies to provide great services and satisfaction, often over human operators. Yet still, behind it all is humans. Humans developing technology, operating technology, overseeing the technology. This is why we should be focused on enabling human-centric development ...
We've been monitoring perceptions of Artificial intelligence (AI) for over a decade and early on we hypothesized that developers might be skeptical and have a difficult time trusting AI. We were wrong ...

In general, we developers recognize the importance and utility of using diagrams to design systems and document our code. Diagrams help turn black boxes into glass ones. They can help us describe how systems talk to each other, communicate how systems operate internally, identify areas where our models can be simplified, and so on. The process of actually making those diagrams, however, is another story ...
Software engineering leaders are under continuous pressure to adopt modern architectures and technologies. To do this well, they need to know which trends have the greatest potential impact for their digital business efforts within an actionable planning horizon. Gartner announced the top strategic technology trends in software engineering for 2023 and beyond ...
At its simplest, the software industry uses multi-tenancy to explain where software or its architecture splits into manageable chunks. These chunks could save money, simplify processes, or make things safer or easier for customers. Rather than try to unravel the whole term, it's easier to explain the scenarios typically described as multi-tenancy ...
