Research and development at Hyper
We at Hyper are actively doing research in different areas of information technology. It's in our DNA to be curious about new trends and developments, as it's the only way to survive in a fast-changing industry.
Every day we are testing new tools, building our own open source projects and taking an active role in developer communities. This is an amazing feeling to be inspired and being a source of inspiration. But at the same time it's not easy neither to learn how to search through all the "data smog" of information nor to filter, sort and keep in memory most interesting, relevant and engaging findings.
It's important to be one step ahead of the heard, never stop learning, exploring and experimenting. And it's equally important to keep a balance between jumping on a brand new technology and being stuck with existing, time proven and working solutions. That's why we're starting Hyper Radar project.
This repo aims to be:
- A well structured knowledge base with intuitive navigation through topics, articles and discussions.
- A source of inspiration and a driver of innovation.
- A designated place for writing down bright ideas and suggestions.
- A place to share, discuss and review trending tech topics and new promising tools.
Everyone is welcome to participate:
- Start a discussion if you have something on your mind.
- Choose an appropriate category and write a review (summary) if you want to put some light on any tech related topic.
📖 Table of Contents
The project's structure will gradually change over time and is always open for adjustments. The main goal is to make it easy and intuitive to navigate through and find a relevant information.
🔭 Lab
We all have our own areas of expertise and preferences, something we're best at and can talk with excitement and enthusiasm for hours. And there is always something we're missing because we're so used to seeing what we already know and are comfortable with. The technology is not staying still, and from time to time it's healthy to force ourself into those uncomfortable spheres where we can start challenging our thinking.
We need to know where our focus should be. Unexpected customer requests are inevitable and can't be foreseen, but what we can do is to be well prepared and know the right answers. It's hard to know everything without becoming a "Master of None", but it helps to have an overview of what is possible and what is not, without digging too deep into implementation details.
We live to break down and solve complex tasks by creating practical, maintainable and scalable solutions. And this is the reason we love great development tools. But the right tools should be built upon the actual needs, not the other way around. There is no "silver bullet" that works in all the cases, so it’s important to remember that the main goal is to find out the most elegant and efficient way for solving a given problem, at certain circumstances.
Share your experience to help in our community to stay sober and make the right decision when it comes to choosing a new library or programming language everyone around is talking about. Try to ask yourself the following questions when you write a summary:
- What all the fuzz is about?
- What is it for?
- How mature the tool is?
- How could it be applied to real-world problems?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages comparing to existing solutions?
- How relevant is it for us and our customers?
