Way back in the early days of my career, I was a software designer at DIS Corporation in Bellingham, WA. I helped design and build dealership software for farm equipment and automobile dealers.
To help pay for my university education, I waited tables at a Denny’s restaurant. Over the years I’ve realized that I got a pretty good education at the restaurant, too.
Here at J Street, we say that we build and support database applications. But really, what we do is solve problems. Every day. That is our job. And it’s a skill that we’ve developed.
If your life is anything like mine, anything that can help your day go smoother would be welcome. Here are a few things I’ve learned over the years that I use to keep me organized and efficient.
The hardest part of software development isn’t actually software development – it’s estimating how long the software development will take.
A great leader can make all the difference between success and failure, productivity and frustration, satisfaction and disappointment. But how do you know when someone’s a great leader?
One of the hardest subjects to broach, in business or personal matters, is money. People are often uncomfortable bringing up the topic, especially when they need a product or service they’re not very familiar with.

Some customers balk when we tell them that we’ll do some planning and design to start their project. They want us to just start coding. But we know that’s a bad idea…
To me, a developer saying their programming change “shouldn’t hurt anything” is the equivalent of a person in a horror movie saying “I’ll be right back” – things are likely to end badly!
We simplify a lot of your techincal issues and bring real solutions to your inbox – no fluff.
At J Street Technology, we’ve been working with clients for over 20 years. In that time, we’ve developed some recommendations on the topic. We hope you find our checklist useful
