CHECK OUT HIRED.COM: https://www.simpleprogrammer.com/hiredsp There are a lot of questions on the internet about the future of mobile development, especially the difference between native and hybrid mobile development. Before we dive into this discussion, it is important to understand the basic difference between native vs hybrid mobile development: "Hybrid App: Developer augments web code with native SDK. Can be easily deployed across multiple platform and is usually the cheaper and faster solution. Native App: This is platform (iOS, Android etc.) specific and requires unique expertise. However the full potential of the platform can be leveraged which will drive great user experience and larger app capabilities (especially around phone hardware). Can be pricey based on requirement and may take longer to develop." (Source: https://julyrapid.com/hybrid-vs-native-mobile-app-decide-5-minutes/) So, one of the main concerns of new mobile developers is if they should invest in native mobile development... Is it goi

I see a lot of people chasing their dreams but never being able to achieve anything. Most of this is due to the fact that people give up before finishing anything.

Job Titles, especially for software developers, is something I usually call BULLSHIT! I’ve been a software developer for over 15 years and I still don’t know what to call myself. Beyond trying to agree on a generalized name for developers, software developers, programmers, software engineers, coders, computer programmers, and the like, we’ve got to contend with job titles. What the heck is the difference between a Senior Software Engineer and a Junior Software Engineer? And how do they compare to Software Developer II and Software Development Engineer in Test? This is some pretty confusing stuff. And of course, if it confuses me, I strongly believe it confuses you too... So, how should software developers call themselves? Does it even matter?

Well, I must say I wasn't always like that. Back in the days I was a very pessimistic person. I always ended up looking at some life events in a pretty damn bad way.
