On top of that, contributing to open-source initiatives enables your employees to direct their self-development in the desired direction. It can help someone get out of the rut after being involved in one product for too long. Firstly, it is greatly motivating to be able to work on something important to oneself when between tasks or during a slow sprint. We have found that allowing our programmers to take a break once in a while and focus on a side project is beneficial in multiple ways.

The best way to do it is to start an open-source initiative and spread it among the developers.

Even though the competition is fierce and there are many talented programmers working to get their libraries out, we believe it is still worth it to pursue such goals. In some cases, it is preferred to be the ones to push the limits and invent new technologies. Sometimes, however, being on the cutting edge is not good enough. That’s why we endeavour to be among the first to adopt novel products in our daily work. We keep a close eye on promising libraries and frameworks that can help us with our software development.

At Applover we strive to always have the newest and best solutions in our toolset.
