In the world of app development, sustainability means creating software that not only solves today's challenges but is also designed to adapt and evolve, efficiently facing future needs. Whether you’re a developer or a project manager, consider this your friendly guide to building software that lasts—without wearing out your team in the process.

Are you a seasoned Ruby on Rails developer struggling to land your dream job? Or worse, any job at all? Applying to cold jobs across many industries is a nightmare right now. Maybe you’ve fired off rounds of applications each day, with only a few resulting in an interview that ultimately leads to nowhere. Or, you’ve spent hours applying to jobs that you’re qualified for, but you never even hear back.

Ruby on Rails is a sustainable choice for both app development and developers. This open-source web application framework is renowned for its simplicity and flexibility, enabling the swift creation of robust applications.

As AI continues to evolve, so too does the concern that we'll be effortlessly swindled out of our personal and financial information by cyber tricksters armed with voice cloning technology.

Sustainability is a concept that has been around for centuries. In modern times, the word sustainability has become synonymous with environmental causes. While that association is valid and important, there are other forms of sustainability that need conscious consideration.

Conspiracy theorists crow that AI is going to take away all of our jobs and make the human worker obsolete, eventually leading to war and the decline of civilization as we know it. The robots will rule with a heavy mechanized hand, and the average person will be out on the street selling pencils from a cup for scraps of bread. A scary prospect indeed.

Have you heard the news? There's a new version of Ruby! A version release is exciting, but when is the right time to upgrade your software? And who should do it? Are there any risks? Find these answers and more in this upgrade guide.

Failing to consider the lifespan and maintenance needs of the project when choosing a framework would be nothing short of unprofessional (and as someone who uses Zoolander memes in his blogposts, I know a thing or two about professionalism).

In my experience, most consultancies grow to a specific size and realize that long-term part-time customers distract and slow them down on their primary goal of building and shipping new software as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Neomind Labs does not require onboarding or handoff from your developers to contribute to your codebase in a meaningful way. We have an extensive history of successfully onboarding ourselves.

Sticking to the standards evangelized by the community and adding proper documentation (possibly in the form of useful tests) makes onboarding a breeze, which creates more productive developers, which makes hiring more accessible, which reduces your “bus factor.” 

"Done" still requires attention.

A codebase that has been refactored after interacting with the real world is beautiful.

​Developed by a moon-lighter, built by a team that's no longer involved, or stewarding open-source contributions, get confidence in your application.

People are increasingly choosing not to start from a blank slate, but to start from something good (or, in some cases, something just okay, or even bad) and make it into something great.
