In the beginning, there is a simple code base written by a few developers. The code’s deficiencies are easily kept in the brains of developers creating it and they most likely know what needs to be fixed and were trouble can be found. Then the code grows, more developers are hired, features are added, and […]
This is an open and honest account of the road we took that finally came out as a new deployment model for Jama, based on Docker, which is (spoiler alert) being released around the time of writing as Jama 8.0. It’s a story about the struggles that we had on this long road, but it’s […]

Find the first post here. Today, software is everywhere. It’s in everything we do. We as consumers interact and buy software more than […]
Technology Adoption vs. Change It can be tempting to think of technology adoption and change as one in the same. But there are inherent differences, some of which you can see by thinking about them in terms of their graphical representations. If you overlay the traditional Technology Adoption Curve on top of the generally accepted […]
The following is the first of a five part series excerpted from our whitepaper Top Four Frustrations of Software Engineers. Anyone who works closely with software engineers understands it takes a big brain to do what they do, even if it’s never really understood exactly what they do or how they do it. But just because […]
