Overloading The Software With Excessive Features
Making the software eloquent and interactive for the user is what every developer strives for. But while doing so, you must take care that you don’t add too many features, which could eventually overwhelm the user. This is because a confused mind denies everything. He or she finds it easier to leave the overwhelming software rather than exploring and using it, which is the last thing you want.
To tackle the issue of multiple features, you can opt to integrate micro-niche features or better yet remove the features with lesser value. You may say that this is not the best choice, but the only thing you are doing here is reducing the excess friction built in the system. That’s because you are discarding the features to make the system simpler and easier to learn. If the system becomes intuitive, more and more people are going to engage and spread the word about the software. Focusing on the features that are important to users is what matters.
Bonus: Dealing with clients and constantly incorporating changes in the program can be exhaustive and we understand it. Fatigue can take its toll and can drastically affect your health.
Here are a few tips you can follow to avoid burnout:
- Take a walk or stretch at least once in a working hour to refresh yourself.
- Prioritize working out at least half an hour or more on a daily to attain good physical health.
- Follow a pragmatic checklist to avoid wasting time on unnecessary things and to drive energy to the only things that matter.

5 Deadly Sins of Software Development
Software development refers to a process of designing, programming, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting software. Developing new software can be a really complex task. The complexity of software development can cause a developer to get overwhelmed with the development process resulting in grave mistakes or sins as which are referred to in this blog. These sins deteriorate the quality of the software due to which companies can lose trillions of dollars. In 2020, as per the CISQ report, the US companies faced a loss of a whopping $2.08 trillion due to their software quality issues.
These mistakes have not only cost organizations trillions of dollars but also weeks, months (and even years in some cases), merely over simple things that could’ve been handled in a much easier and more effective manner. Most of these sins can be prevented by following a pragmatic approach towards development. Read the entire blog to understand and avoid the most obvious mistakes that developers make.
