Last week I attended ConFig, Figma’s virtual conference. Despite the virtual hiccups that we have all experienced ourselves (cue the line of the year: “you’re on mute”), I was deeply inspired, excited and motivated by all of the speakers and without a doubt I’ll be giving a “5-star” review. …

Java is trying to shed its old skin by coming up with a more modern, concise and intuitive approach of organizing your code, working with JSON etc. This can already be seen in their release cycle strategy. Earlier, Java releases were driven by prominent features like Lambda Expressions or Generics but after releasing Java 9, they changed the release cycle to a much faster one.

At the beginning of the “20’s”, the world was hit with the COVID-19 pandemic, a massive unexpected event which forced us all through a learning curve adapting to the new realities of day-to-day life. From travel to retail to healthcare, every industry felt the domino effect of economies closing, of anxieties heightening, of life changing.

Although CES 2021 was virtual, we still caught a glimmer of hope as industry leaders, new faces, and up-and-comers unveiled the tech that will undoubtedly set the standard for our industry in the coming years. With more time than ever being spent at home, it’s not surprising that tech to improve our home life is taking centre stage at this year’s event.
