For more than 15 years, my colleagues and I at the Software Improvement Group (SIG) have been in the business of evaluating the quality of code, architecture, and development practices for our customers. Recently, we dove into our assessment data to discover—and quantify —trends in software development, each time comparing 2016 to 2017.

We're burning our inheritance and polluting the ecosystem on shockingly thin, perniciously marketed claims of "speed" and "agility" and "better UX" that have not panned out at all. That is, what was the average device in 2016? 2-4 CPU cores. 4GB RAM or less. No, it was a $600-$700 device. Networks #.

Some of the built-in features ( wal_compression ) have been there since 2016, and almost all backup tools do the WAL compression before taking it to the backup repository. Attempts to compress PostgreSQL WAL at different levels have always been around since the beginning. The actual benefit of compression depends on many factors.

Design: Performance is the gap between Figma mockups and the user experience of products for many, but not all , users. The extent to which a product performs well, the higher its likelihood of behaving in accordance to the approved design spec. Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics , 2016. If you’ve been a follower of The Morning Paper for any time at all you can probably tell that I naturally gravitate more towards the feeds-and-speeds end of the spectrum than user experience and interaction design. Selections.

Lacks in MVC architecture. React lacks MVC design. React developers introduced Inferno in 2016 as an experiment to examine whether or not a library can improve the battery, performance, and UX of mobile apps. Ember js is API-friendly, and its design has two-way and server-side rendering. Inferno Pros. Ember JS Pros.

One distinct trend is a belief that a JavaScript framework and Single-Page Architecture (SPA) is a must for PWA development. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. The true median device from 2016 sold at about ~$200 unlocked.

The art and science of microprocessor architecture is a never-ending struggling to balance complexity, verifiability, usability, expressiveness, compactness, ease of encoding/decoding, energy consumption, backwards compatibility, forwards compatibility, and other factors.

They did the opposite, doubling down, breathlessly announcing vapourware year after year to defer critical thinking about the fundamental errors in the design. You'd be forgiven for thinking the verbiage was designed obfuscate. It's functional purpose (outside of signaling) is to obscure furious plate spinning.

With Luminary’s 21 years of experience in the digital space, my experience of 17 years in the CMS space as well as our focus on Headless since 2016, here are my two cents on what you should look out for. Microservices architecture. Monolithic architecture takes a back seat with headless CMSes. Omnichannel. For content authors.
