¿Cómo crear valor para los clientes o usuarios con lenguajes de programación?

In my opinion, 1. Asking right questions to clear the requirements is an art, master it. 2. Discuss your project, it's features etc with your customer and pen down everything. This will help you not to overlook even tiny details. 4. Document your discussed points after each meeting. This will ensure clarity for future.

Understand the needs and capabilities of your clients or users to tailor solutions effectively. And most importantly, be eager to listen.

An important note here is that the "audience" of your code is not just the end-users or clients who will be running it, but also the project's engineering team itself. Your colleagues are its audience. Heck, even the future you is part of its audience. And future you, with more knowledge and experience, may look back on the code and wonder what the heck past you was doing. So it's good to write code that is as readable and self-documenting as it can reasonably be: modular, good naming conventions, follows consistent coding standards (whatever those may be for your particular project/company), etc. Investing a little more time in the now to make the code "excellent" rather than "good enough" will save massive amounts of time later.

You don't. If you want to create value in your product, focus on your process, not the tools. Focus on building a great team then set them up to be successful. The choice of tech stack is least important (if at all).

I totally agree with this. Understanding your audience is fundamental. Whether it's clients or end-users, knowing their needs and expectations is the key to creating valuable software. It guides decisions on the choice of programming language, design, and functionality, ensuring the end product resonates with its intended users.

Yes, I strongly agree with this. Choosing the right programming language is like selecting the right tool for the job. It's essential to consider factors like the project's requirements, your team's expertise, and the language's ecosystem. Picking the wrong language can lead to inefficiencies and difficulties down the road.

That all makes sense, however I feel it is lacking aspect of recruitment specialist in given language, that seems to be important strategical factor imo.

Various factors depended on choosing programming languages to create values for Clients/Users: 1. Specific project requirements. 2. The target audience. 3. Scalability needs. 4. The development team's expertise. 5. Project Complexity.

A customer does not care one bit in which language his software is created, and rightfully so. A productive developer can only really master a limited number of programming languages in his carreer. So, who has the knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of all languages to make an objective choice from all? Software companies just deliver with the tools/people they have available at hand. Most modern languages can achieve comparable results, nitpicking which is best, is a waste of time. Getting correct and complete functional specifications is the way how battles are won. Look at what skills a team has, use these, and at how to maintain the code in the future.

There could be many external influences on the choice of programming language and luckily there is never onlz one good choice or the only right one. Rather over time the perspective often changes and so the best architecture is one allowing to mix and replace easily and at any time. A concrete type of “building“ is what makes up the so badly renown “monolith” - even if the single bricks in principle are universal, when the glue is rigid and irreversible, constant change becomes impossible.

One might be following and trying to adhere to the standards of a programming language can seem tedious, but it's crucial. It not only makes your code more readable but also ensures compatibility and reduces the likelihood of introducing errors. Plus, it's a good practice for working in a team, where everyone needs to understand and work with the code effectively.

The question has a wrong focus. The clients and users don't care whether the application is written in Java, C++, Powershell, or any other language. They care that the solution provided meets their needs and requirements. By focusing on the programming language(s) to be used, I think you miss the forest because you're focused too much on the individual trees. Following standards is a good convention. Having coding tools that enable readable code is great. The code is the embodiment of the solution, and needs to be maintainable - but clients and users aren't the ones that will be reading that code. They will be using the resulting application. My theory on writing code is write it as you would hope to inherit it for maintenance.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Think of programming standards as the friendly rules for your code. They're like a shared language among developers, making sure your code is not only technically solid but also easy for everyone to understand. Following these rules and style guidelines specific to your programming language is like having a map that helps you avoid errors and encourages teamwork. To make your coding journey smoother, you've got some reliable allies: code editors (your virtual workspace), linters (your code's proofreaders), style guides (like grammar guides for programming), and documentation (your code's instruction manual)

I don't think you should call yourself a professional if you don't write at least unit tests for your code. And even better would be to write the tests before the implementation. Surgeons dont skip washing their hands to save time, no matter what. Tests are equally important.

Testing and debugging are often the unsung heroes of programming. They might not be the most glamorous tasks, but they are absolutely crucial. I've seen how even a small oversight in code can lead to major issues down the line. So, running comprehensive tests and diligently debugging code is not just good practice; it's a way to save yourself and your clients from headaches later on.

A lot of developers and engineers see testing as a way of ensure that their code works. This is one of the reasons why testing exists. The other, and more important, reason for testing your code is to ensure that it does what you claim that it does and that it solves the problem as was explained to you. This can help when a misunderstanding of the requirements happens, as you can say that your tests prove that the code works to the spec as was explained to you. Testing can also help protect against regressions. Say you add a feature somewhere, but it required making a change to some other code, you'll want to make sure that you haven't broken something. And you can do that with testing. Automated testing makes this easier, still.

Also shift-lefting the moment in which you find bugs is important because it impacts the cost of fixing them. Not to mention the importance of finding bugs before your customer does. Depending on the bug, it can affect the company's image in the industry.

Testing should be done in synch with coding and as much automated as possible, with tests breaking at each commit. Early and often. Establishing this is an added value of orders of magnitude.

Absolutely, optimization and refactoring are essential steps in the development process. I've found that as a project evolves, there are often opportunities to make the code more efficient and maintainable. It's like fine-tuning a machine; the better it runs, the more value it can deliver to users or clients.

Emphasizing the strategic and ongoing nature of optimization and refactoring reinforces their role as critical components in creating lasting value and maintaining the health of software projects over time.

The mathematical analogy of the term refactoring implies that outside of it, there should be no change. This is often forgotten and breaking changes in architecture or implementation are “sold” as refactoring, somehow trying to justify such an otherwise clearly negative step. This should be avoided and secondly, a refactoring in algebra usually serves to eliminate afterwards common factors (like in a fraction) and therefore simplify the calculation, so one should refactor code only if some simplification or standardisation is achieved.

Optimization and refactoring play a very important role in every project, that is why you must have a continuous improvement cycle of the software you are delivering to your customers, to generate satisfaction both for them (faster, safer, etc.) and for the development team (easier to test, add features, maintain)

Refactoring is a good way to optimize the code making it more readable. My rule of thumb is if any piece of code repeats at least once refactor it. It splits the logic and helps finding bugs easier as refactoring makes functions smaller.

I have been developing for a long time but even with my own code when I look at it 6-7 month down the road I see what I can improve and optimize, so I do it. Especially anything related to make your work more secure. If you found a way to secure date better, do it.

I couldn't agree more. Continuous learning is at the heart of creating value in the world of programming. Staying up-to-date with new technologies and best practices not only benefits your own growth but also ensures that the solutions you provide are cutting-edge and effective. It's an ever-evolving journey that leads to better results for clients and users.

I completely agree that the best way to create value with programming languages is to keep learning and improving our skills and knowledge. This is precisely one of the reasons why I keep obtaining various current industry certifications. Certifications not only validate my skills and knowledge, but also push me to learn about the latest trends and technologies, ensuring that I am up to date with industry best practices. In addition, I find it critical to seek feedback from my customers, users and co-workers. By maintaining a cycle of continuous learning and improvement, I not only increase my value as a developer, but I am also able to offer more effective and current solutions to my clients or users.

The most valuable skill to learn is learning how to learn. Constantly find the opportunity to learn. Everyday. Most valuable lesson.

Few factors to consider when coding. 1. Understand the client's business needs and expected outcomes. 2. Write code with thorough documentation at the code level or create helpful documents like DFD, UML, etc., for a clearer understanding of business requirements. 3. Select the programming language based on product requirements, including target platform (Web, Mobile, Desktop), current market technologies, stability, and available community/technical support. 4. Utilize the various developer tools in the market for debugging, linting, and unit testing to improve the efficiency of your coding process. 5. Write the optimized code and utilize tools to verify the code optimization. 6. Ensuring product security is vital for user trust.

In my experience the code we write today will be read by 100s developer/testers and will be maintained for many years , while developing we are too much into the context more then our environment ( you don’t hear a call from your wife or kids or door bell ) , because of this we put/assume few things and don’t use right words/notes to make coding simple to understand and cause lots of time wastage for future even if we see our own code after a year we have to spend some time to understand, I would say let machine handle complexity and write/design as sturdy and simple as possible ( for example using not so popular mechanism, trying to save a drop of water by most advanced valve from a huge tanker which is spilling water all around

You create value for clients and users by solving the problems they face in a manner that meets or exceeds their expectations. The choice of programming language is an implementation detail only relevant to the specific problem being solved.

The best advice would be to use the right tool for the job. We should consider the end goal of creating value for our customers and not the process. Now the job boils down to finding the right tool for the job. There are various factors to guide this, but if you want to make it easy just choose the most popular language others have used to solve your problem successfully.

There are a lot of tools on the market to help you be productive. Find the ones that you like and use it so if you feel comfortable when you program. Create the best working environment you can so you are as creative and as productive as you can get. Remember programming is an art, we are creators of great things, so find your optimal place, equipment and tools and create your best!
