Quick engineering salary comparison based on the #DEVBG stats from 2023 and 2024 in the Bulgarian IT industry. Dev.bg publish yearly a summary of the Bulgarian IT engineering salaries based on the job openings offers on their platform. https://lnkd.in/dNU5MD8D (2023 stats) https://lnkd.in/dX_dxvP7 (2024 stats) Based on the population data (let's assume it's a proper representation of the real world) we can determine the following: 1. PHP should be dead but it isn't (unfortunately) as it's one of the two categories with growing salaries in all job positions and ranges. 2. The second is the full stack development with a minimum drop of 65 levas in the first MID range(2-5 years) 3. All ranges except the Senior level(5+ years of experience) have a drop in salary compared to 2023 but for some seem negligible compared to the notion in the industry that "it's going down and AI will take over the world" :) 4. We can see that seniority still counts and there is now a shift towards growth of salaries of more senior people compared to others as the market tries to regulate. 5. There is still a lot of green for a "dying" and "shrinking" industry. P.S To anyone interested I can share the excel if needed but it's quite straightforward to generate it. *Legend: Diff min Mid - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Mid - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen Median - difference in the minimum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen Median - difference in the maximum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024

I think we can call it our DevConf.CZ tradition that we always come up with some fun idea for a session with Tomáš Tomeček. 😊 This year, we run a meetup for open source project maintainers and as it was not recorded, we decided to share some best practices we heard during the meetup in this blog post. Any more tips for maintainers out here? Let us know! 💡

If you are curious on "Evolutionary Architecture" don't miss our .NET User Group Zürich May Meetup where we will cover the topic providing some lessons that diverge from "pure tech" talks. On this one, Maciej Jedrzejewski will explain How incremental developments in core engineering have enabled the foundations for enable software which can evolve over time along the architecture, protecting important architectural characteristics as it evolves. All while keeping it as simple as possible, maintainable and manageable in amount of complexity. Sounds interesting? ;) It is!! And even more if you have 5+ years of experience, chances are that you have lived a project that died because of complexity and lack of proper architectural vision (partial or... complete) - I've been there! So, how does it sound and all of this - for free!! Thanks Digitec Galaxus AG and Maciej Jedrzejewski!!! I am not going to miss it - and so should you... RSVP while you can, places are limited: https://lnkd.in/dmnnEGUZ Ah, we will have Food & Drink #architecture #software #evolutionaryarchitecture #KISS #DRY #easy #maintainable #resilience

🎙️ Josefine Schaefer was a Session Speaker of HUSTEF - Hungarian Software Testing Forum 2024! 🗣️ The title of her presentation was Beyond Compliance: Testing for a more Accessible Web 🤩 Let's watch it NOW! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dNtas2uv 💬 A few years ago, I was tasked to bring the accessibility of our clients website to WCAG AA standard – basically starting from scratch. We had to 👀 look at everything from improving 🎨 color contrast to ⌨️ keyboard accessibility, refactoring 🖱️ interactive elements and learning to test with 💻 screen readers. It was a huge challenge, and a massive learning opportunity. 🎤 In my talk, I will not only share why accessibility online is so crucial for all of us and will broaden your audience & reach as a brand, I’d also like to 💁‍♀️ share some of the tools that I find extremely helpful solve the most common accessibility issue to help you reach accessibility compliance and beyond. After all, web accessibility is not about meeting an abstract guideline, but rather about creating inclusive experiences for everyone. ✔️ We will look into 🎨color contrast, 🤷‍♀️ missing alternative text, labels and titles; we’ll dive into ⌨️keyboard accessibility, the foundations of semantic HTML and it’s massive benefits and 🗺️ explore how to test tab order and focus styles. Lastly, I will share some 🔎 insights on how to implement Web Accessibility testing in your development and testing processes across your 🏢 organization.

Watch Moriel Schottlender's talk at DDD Europe 2024: https://bit.ly/4er8l9v and join us again next year! This talk will present a case study of utilizing Domain-Driven Design (DDD) methodologies to address the challenges of evolving Wikipedia's underlying system architecture. Wikipedia is a 23-year-old open-source monolith that serves billions of reads and millions of simultaneous writes, with a unique combination of dynamic user-generated content and workflows. The scale, complexity, and socio-technical nature of Wikipedia make it a challenging environment for applying DDD. This talk will discuss the process of mapping the system to understand potential pitfalls, discover opportunities, and inform product strategy.

On May 8th, we have WarsawJS Meetup #114 awaiting us, featuring Tomasz Ducin on stage with a fascinating presentation titled "Back in the game: Recent Revolutionary Changes in Angular"! But today, let's reminisce about his previous appearance at WarsawJS Meetup #108 💭 In that lecture, titled "Who needs Server Components?", Tomasz delved into the next step in the evolution of web architecture. After MPAs, SPAs, SSR, SSG/ISG, it's time for Server Components! Throughout the presentation, he asked himself many questions: Does this architecture fit the needs of my business and application? What are the benefits? And are we not stepping backward by moving more operations back to the server? Breaking down the hype around Server Components, Tomasz also introduced us to some technical details regarding React Server Components. By combining client-side interactivity with server-side efficiency, we can optimize web metrics and revolutionize website development. We invite you to watch that presentation, which opened our minds to a new perspective on web development! Enjoy watching! 🍿 🎥 Part 1: https://lnkd.in/dQ7G_jFZ  🎥 Part 2: https://lnkd.in/dJzQmsQD We encourage you to participate in WarsawJS Meetup #114, where you'll have the opportunity to not only listen to Tomasz's lecture but also to other outstanding speakers live.
