Love in the Tech Company: 💻❤️ Hey Techies!

Love in the Tech Company: 💻❤️
Hey Techies! Ever wondered about love in the world of coding and debugging?

1. "Are We Exclusive?": When you ask your coding partner if they're committed to pair programming with you and only you! Because who needs merge conflicts in love, right?

2. "Where Do You See Us Going?": The moment you ask your code reviewer about the future of your pull requests. Are we destined for the main branch, or will we forever dwell in the depths of version control?

3. "Let's Take Things Slow": When your server response time is lagging, and you suggest a gradual rollout instead of rushing into production. Slow and steady wins the race, even in code... and love!

4. "We're in Love": When you google your error, and the answer is in the first Stack Overflow comment. A match made in the cloud!

5. "We're a Couple": When your frontend and backend developers finally sync up, and your app starts looking like a cohesive unit. It's official: they're a dynamic duo!
Remember, in the world of tech, love is all about compatibility, integration, and seamless user experiences. So, embrace the bugs, celebrate the merges, and keep coding your way to love and laughter!

Got any techy love stories to share? Drop them in the comments below and let's debug together! 💬❤️

Women remain underrepresented in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) university courses and occupations compared to men. 🎓🖥

As we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, it's essential to shine a spotlight on some of our talented female colleagues who contribute to our team.
While progress has been made in increasing women’s participation in technical education and business, there are still challenges to overcome. We consider ourselves fortunate to have these remarkable women as part of the SharpMinds team. We eagerly anticipate expanding our teams and actively working to bridge the gender gap and enhance diversity.

Machine learning and deep learning are fancy buzzw

Machine learning and deep learning are fancy buzzwords that we hear a lot these days, but can you differentiate these two?
It is easy to understand by picturing 3 circles.

1. Artificial Intelligence is the first and the biggest circle.

2. Inside the first circle, there is another one - machine learning. It means that machine learning is a type of AI. It is a way for computers to learn from their own experience and make decisions by analyzing large amounts of data from their surroundings.

3. Inside the second circle, there is the third one - deep learning. It is a type of machine learning. It has more layers of algorithms, which are all part of a network that can help solving complex problems. It is compared to the neural network of the human brain, but in this case, it’s called the artificial neural network.

How familiar are you with working with machine learning of deep learning?

Good leadership is central to the success of any business, and it can make all the difference in the workplace. Without it, employee morale and productivity will inevitably suffer.

- Become an active listener.
Enter every conversation with the intention to listen to your team’s insights, whether those are positive or negative.

- Offer constructive feedback that facilitates growth.
Create an environment where your team feels confident in the intent of your feedback.

- Be adaptable to change and growth.
Openness to change puts you in a better position to successfully run your company.

- Improve your emotional intelligence (EQ or EI).
Every leader should have a clear understanding of what emotional intelligence is and a plan to develop their capacity for it.

- Become more efficient.
Business leaders often manage various conflicting responsibilities, which is why time management is so crucial.

- Build dynamic teams.
A good leader can objectively identify the best employee for a job to create a successful team.

- Lead by example.
As a leader, you should lead by example and not illustrate how turbulent times may be affecting you on a personal level.

- Be a mentor.
Your team looks to you for coaching, counselling and guidance, so make effective mentorship a priority when setting goals. Create a development plan that helps each team member grow as an individual and in their role.

- Show appreciation, recognition and empathy for your team.
Express gratitude and appreciation for your team, especially when they reach a new milestone. Having a team of satisfied employees can boost productivity and reduce turnover rates.

- Be honest, transparent and accountable.
Every business leader should be honest and transparent with their team and always take accountability for their actions.

Take small steps:

1. Usually, novices try to become Jack of all trades but end up being masters of none. The ecosystem of JavaScript is pretty vast, so you have to work out a system of studying it step by step. Your roadmap might look like this: Internet – HTML/CSS – JavaScript – GIT – React/Angular/Vue

2. Dive deep into the base
You might face some pitfalls on the project, so when studying different examples of the code, pay attention to the suggested solutions and always analyze them.

3. Put everything into practice
Check out these two resources if you want to put your coding skills to the test: codewars.com and leetcode.com

4. Provide clear and descriptive names for your variables
While writing a computer program can be a lot of fun, looking over a program you wrote nine months ago, or a program someone else wrote can often be confusing. Writing clear and understandable code helps make your life easier as a programmer.

5. Be ready for life-learning
The Tech industry is extremely fast-pacing, so you have to be able to keep up with everything.

Feel free to share your experience of learning JavaScript.

PART 1 (first 5)

The most important part of getting ready for an interview is practice. That’s why it’s vital to know what job interview questions you might be asked. Here are the first 5 most common interview questions and tips on how to answer them. The second five you can find at our second post.

👉🏻 Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking
Turn criticism into fuel, prepare and practice before delivering your pitch, and remember that every idea has value.

What a great honor we have received today.

Our colleague got this certificate of gratitude and medal which the region governor has granted as recognition of the support provided by regional enterprises and businesses.

Chernivtsi Region Council expressed appreciation for all the help, donations, and projects that SharpMinds has been involved in or initiated for the regional military unit and civil population since the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine. And although you can only give a medal to one person, we know that many of you have contributed and actively worked towards this.
