Specs of horror?

Not all specs are stitched together, like Frankenstein’s monster. 

The most commonly known best practices in software development determine that a document that describes what the software will do and how it will be expected to perform is created as a first step. It also describes the functionality the product needs to fulfill the needs of the user. This being said, have you found yourself in a position where you throw a bunch of specs at a developer, simply hoping that the outcome does indeed fulfill the expected needs and functionalities, only to be deceived? If the outcome was less than satisfactory, was it because of the specs themselves, the development team’s quirks, sheer bad luck or an act of God?

We’d love the chance to help you find out!

No comment?

To comment, or not to comment. That is the geeky question.

Commenting involves placing human readable descriptions inside of computer programs detailing what the code is doing. Some developers are convinced that proper use of commenting can make code maintenance much easier, as well as helping make finding bugs faster… But is that always the case? Some geeky devs believe that well-documented code is as important as correctly working code.

Podcast: Femtech and Maternal Health

Julia Slanina is the CEO and Founder of Treehouse. She is a graduate of the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA). Her degrees led her to work in the foreign service; however, due to her love for health and science, she made a career change and started medical school. After one year, she withdrew from studies to take care of her mother who was terminally ill. Because Julia was the primary caregiver for not only her newborn baby but also her late mother, she saw a need to improve the support and community healthcare for families and children across Canada. Since then, she and her team have developed a platform that offers education, resources, and support from trusted experts within the maternal care industry.

“I designed Treehouse Medical with the intent to promote positive parenting, streamline maternal health information and build a stronger degree of engagement in the Canadian healthcare network.”
