Central bank digital currency

Central bank digital currency (CBDC) are digital tokens like cryptocurrencies that are issued by Central banks. Typical crypto is built on decentralized technology but CBDC database and value are regulated by central bank authorities and their value is tied to the value of a country’s fiat currency. In simple terms, CBDCs are digital renditions of fiat currencies.

‍

Many countries like UAE, Nigeria, and Canada have either launched or have CBDC projects on the way and even in the United States, the President recently signed off on a policy aimed at creating laws around digital assets.

There are two types of CBDCs:

• Retail CBDC: These are government issued digital tokens or accounts that are used for consumer-to-consumer transactions and consumer-to-business transactions.
• Wholesale CBDC: These are CBDCs used for transactions between banks and other financial institutions holding central bank accounts.

‍

Unlike cryptocurrencies, CBDCs are not fully accepted in both the tech and finance communities. With the advent of Web3, the world is moving towards digital anonymity, digital identity management and the death of third-party intermediaries. Cryptocurrencies are democratized digital assets and the idea of a central bank-backed currency runs contrary to this goal of decentralization. Despite this shortcoming, CBDCs have their benefits and are currently the most feasible option for the adoption of digital currencies.

‍

Cryptocurrencies are unregulated and unstable and this makes them unsuitable for use in larger economies that require stability. They are risky speculative assets whose value is determined by user interest and investor whims. Crypto transactions are facilitated on peer-to-peer networks putting identity and security at risk despite being built on an immutable blockchain system. On the other hand, by having a centralized, government-backed system, CBDCs have more stability and security for nationwide adoption. With a central bank-backed system the value of a digital token is attached to and remains the same as fiat currency and this makes CBDCs more stable.

‍

Most countries have unified identity management systems already. These already existing systems create a full database of identity information accessible to central banks to link digital token ownership to. This identity data that central authorities like banks and governments have, creates better security and less fraud and other financial crimes. Crypto transactions are trackable but identity on the blockchain can be masked. This anonymity which makes crypto perfect for Web3 creates a security risk for investors who aren’t tech savvy and are skeptical of investing in crypto. With CBDCs we can have real-time access to analytics on every transaction taking place within a country, digitally.

‍

CBDCs have the potential to improve financial inclusion for the unbanked and underbanked. CBDCs create ease and access to anyone anywhere through simple mobile applications. A 2019 FDIC survey showed that 7.1 million households in the United states are unbanked, meaning they niether have a savings nor checking account in a bank or credit union. Creating one central digital currency gives access to financially excluded populations which would not typically bank in traditional banks or invest in cryptocurrency.

‍

A central digital banking system also eliminates the need for private banking structures and intermediaries. This reduces cost for transactions and infrastructure like banknotes. With CBDCs, individual token holders have a direct link to one central authority so transactions between parties are facilitated by the same entity and this makes transactions faster and easier. This centralization removes a great deal of 3rd-party failures, delays and expenses which improves the efficiency of central banks.

‍

Ultimately, CBDCs defeat the purpose of digital currencies like crypto because cryptocurrencies are built on the basic principle of decentralization. With waning interest in cryptocurrencies and the constant issues with blockchain assets, CBDCs have become a more viable and safer option besides stablecoins for the global adoption and regulation of digital assets. Looking ahead, there is a better chance of CBDC adoption based on its benefits and the problems associated with digital assets that it solves.

‍

TL;DR: It’s getting chilly for crypto and here’s what you should know.

If you’ve been paying attention recently, you’ll have noticed that cryptocurrencies have been having quite a trouble-filled couple of months. A week ago Tesla sold off 75% of its Bitcoin holdings which it spent $1.5 billion on and was worth about $2 billion at the end of 2021. It converted the coins into fiat currency citing uncertain COVID times as the main reason. This is huge news in the crypto space because Elon and previously Tesla were one of the biggest backers of cryptocurrencies. Tesla’s backing significantly improved the market value of Bitcoin and this development comes at a crucial time of falling crypto prices. Bitcoin has lost 50% of its value this year falling from an all-time high of $69,000 per coin in November last year to now hovering below $30,000 per coin. Cryptocurrencies have fallen from a market cap of $3 trillion in November 2021 to now $1 trillion. In May this year TerraUSD, a supposed stablecoin that was backed on the dollar, fell below its $1 per coin value. Its sister coin Luna fell alongside, completely losing its value and causing one of the biggest crypto shocks in years.

‍

The entire crypto market is currently feeling the heat as demand and value plummet. In June crypto billionaires and owners of the crypto exchange Gemini, the Winklevoss brothers announced via their blog that they were laying off 10% of their workforce and bracing themselves for an incoming ‘crypto winter’ which they described as “a contraction phase that is settling into a period of stasis”. They are not alone in this as Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US by trading volume reported a 27% loss in revenue and has laid off 18% of its workforce recently.

‍

Crypto winter is a term that describes bear market for crypto. It is essentially a period of decline in prices and demand for crypto.

With these recent shake-ups in the market, the question of where crypto is headed comes up more and more. Cryptocurrencies witnessed a significant boom in covid times and a number of reasons have caused this downward spiral. If we can understand the cause of the downturn then we can figure out where this downturn is heading. A few reasons for this current crypto downturn include:

• Investor panic

The market value loss of crypto cited above was largely triggered by investor panic. A 24-hour sellout and panic led to a $2 trillion loss. The crash of Luna was also triggered by massive selloffs. This investor panic is not limited to crypto. The stock market in general has been experiencing a downward spiral. Between rising interest rates and the COVID pandemic, there is economic instability in the US and the world at large. Crypto, especially stablecoins which are supposed to mitigate this downward economic spiral are also losing value further causing investors to lose money and become risk shy.

• High supply, less demand

The cryptocurrency trading space is over-saturated with coins. With no new changes in the blockchain space and a market full of unregulated assets, investors are losing the value of their already purchased coins and there’s barely any demand for newer coins currently flooding the market. High inflation and rising interest rates in the U.S are also affecting individual liquidity and the ability to invest in volatile assets such as crypto. This has led to significantly less demand for cryptocurrencies.

• Lack of innovation and adoption

There have been few revolutionary Blockchain innovations or growth. Even for already popular assets, like cryptocurrencies, Blockchain assets use is still limited. This limited use and lack of growth is a burden for both current investors and skeptics. Cryptocurrency already suffers from a problem of belief and interest which further affects its acceptability and use.

• Lack of regulations

Lack of blockchain and largely cryptocurrency regulations has caused both investor panic and constant fraud and losses. Unregulated guerilla markets have cost investors billions of dollars in losses and further resulted in dwindling faith in cryptocurrency. This lack of laws has opened the market up to more risks and this has contributed to the cooling of interest in crypto causing this crypto winter.

‍

What now?

Despite these market crashes, there is still some optimism for the future of crypto. This is not the first downward turn or crypto winter. Over time in its existence, cryptocurrencies have lost and regained value over and over.

In 2018 Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins such as Litecoin dropped sharply in price and value which led to a period of downturn from 2018 to 2020. There has been a period of high growth since 2021 due to the Federal Reserve adding lIquidity to financial markets but this peaked early this year.

Some experts advise holding strong as winters are seasonal and this will pass. Cryptocurrencies have always been volatile and high-risk assets but with impending regulations, these risks may be significantly reduced and this will allow more real-world use for blockchain technology and this will lead to further innovation and growth to cater to the influx of users and investors.

‍

Crypto like most assets follows real-world bear market principles which means the value of these assets will go up again. The long-term benefit of holding unsellable assets whose value may never fully recover is debatable but selling right now is both bad for investor pockets and the market.

‍

As long as the digital world exists there will always be a need and use for digital assets. Right now Blockchain technology is the best available option for creating these assets and this innovation has revolutionized the world beyond tech. This crypto winter will be one of the many tests of the theory that blockchain technology will disrupt the world as we know it.

In recent news, Youtuber, Andrew Tate, has been banned from all top social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Tiktok, and twitch. Tate was best known for founding the unaccredited online Hustler’s University and spreading misogyny and hate against women. Why this is of any interest to the public is because it once again brings up the question of freedom of speech. According to many Tate supporters, banning him from social media infringes on his freedom of expression. Not too long ago Former President Trump’s supporters also argued this point after he was permanently suspended from Twitter. The president racked up over 20,000 tweets during his tenure and if a president’s speech can be stifled on social media, then what is freedom of expression and how does it function on the internet?

‍

At the dawn of the internet in the late 1990’s the massive selling point for this new frontier was a world of freer, uncensored, self-expression. That has actually not been the case as more and more people are banned from social media platforms every day. In the US, according to a Supreme court ruling in 1996, the internet is a free speech zone bearing the same rules as the First Amendment. What this means is that the government cannot restrict access and expression on the internet.

‍

First Amendment laws are intended to prevent governmental infringement on expression. It prevents big government authorities from stifling dissent and having unilateral control of us. In essence, the first amendment is to prevent dictatorship and only covers governmental infringement on human rights.

‍

Social media platforms are not the government and therefore are not beholden to first amendment rules. According to the supreme court ruling above, you’re free on the internet but because these platforms are private, not governmental, they are run separately from government laws. In fact, what this means is that private social media platforms also have first amendment protection on who they allow on their platform. Most social media platforms have rules for engagement and hate speech policies. These social platforms automatically take down content that violates standards on violence, sexuality, privacy, harassment, self-harm, and other issues. When you sign up to these platforms, part of what grants you access is consenting to these policies. This means that these platforms are responsible for the actions of users on their platforms. So if a user like Tate says something that leads to violence or spreads misinformation, YouTube is automatically responsible for letting that information spread because they have provided a platform to amplify said misinformation.

‍

A worrying concern these days is that social media is now run as big governments. Yes, you can say that Facebook, Twitter, and the rest are not governmental organizations but with the way the world today is structured and the power these platforms hold collectively, they might as well be state entities or countries on their own. Everything happens on social media these days and it is pretty much the only way to connect. President Trump argued that he had lost valuable access to directly connecting with his core masses by being suspended for life from Twitter. Social media plays an important role in our collective lives in the world today so a regulatory action on one of these platforms can carry as much impact as the government infringing on your expression.

‍

But unlike the government, social media platforms are abundant and easily accessible. Your access to twitter may be restricted but you’re not banned from the internet as a whole. Andrew Tate is still conducting interviews and Trump is still campaigning despite claiming that they have been censored. Despite the big role social media plays in our lives, internet bans are nothing more than a minor personal inconvenience. Ultimately, the question that should be asked is what rules should govern private establishments and not a question on free speech.

In recent news, Amazon has acquired IRobot for $1.7 billion. This all-cash deal prices iRobot at $61 a share. iRobot is best known for its robotic Roomba vacuums but also makes other household items like robotic mops, pool cleaners, and mowers. This is Amazon’s fourth biggest acquisition so far after it purchased whole foods for $13.7 billion in 2017, MGM Studios for 8.45 billion last year, and One Medical for $3.9 billion last month. This deal increases Amazon’s investment in consumer robotics and homes. Roomba joins other Amazon-owned home products like Alexa the virtual assistant + speaker, voice-activated thermometers and microwaves, Ring video doorbell, and last year they released the Astro home robot, a device equipped with Alexa that can follow users around their homes.

‍

In a joint statement released by both companies, Amazon said “Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking.” An important thing to note in this speech is the phrase “customer obsession”. Amazon is a company that sells products but a $1 billion all-cash deal raises an interesting question. What could Amazon gain from this deal and why do they want a vacuum that bad?

‍

Data is king

To answer the question above let’s talk a little about data. In previous articles, we’ve spoken about how data is everything and everything is data. With growing technological advancements data collection and usage have become valuable tools for studying and influencing consumer behavior. Now with targeted advertising companies can tailor ads specifically to influence your purchasing decisions. For a company that sells products, data is king.

‍

Amazon wants iRobot for the maps it generates which helps it understand people’s homes. The Roomba vacuum learns, records, and maps spaces to help it clean. Some of them even come with low-resolution cameras. This is useful data that makes the Roomba worth 1.7 billion. With Roomba, Amazon now has access to consumers’ floor plans, how often they change, what’s been moved, how old your furniture is, etc. Having access to data like this not only gives Amazon access to private details of consumers but spatial data like this is useful for making future homes.

‍

Amazon already has a wide reach when it comes to surveilling individuals and harnessing their data. From Ring doorbells to Alexa, to now Roomba, they are slowly extending their reach into every aspect of human life. Data privacy experts warn that this could be a very dangerous problem for the future of data. Amazon has already been in a lot of data breach trouble in the past. Ring the doorbell company they own admitted to sharing customer data with police without even needing warrants for it. The company has also been accused of anti-competitive practices.

‍

When it comes to data laws, there is no unified data protection legislation in the USA, rather, there are a bunch of state and federal laws designed to protect the personal data of people residing in the US. The Federal Trade Commission is in charge of protecting consumers from deceptive practices on a federal level and according to the FTC “deceptive practices” include failing to comply with published data promises, failure to provide adequate personal data security, and deceptive advertising or marketing.

‍

With most data laws globally, consent is often in the hands of the data owner, and access and use of your data depend on disclosure. Simply put, all companies have to do to access your data is to ask you for it and tell you what they’re using it for. This sounds great in theory but when was the last time you read the terms and conditions of a device you owned before clicking “I agree” Do you know how much of your data you’ve consented to give away and to whom?

‍

In the future, companies will make billions by studying consumers and their environment, pushing ads, and selling you problems you didn’t know you had and products you didn’t even know you needed.

‍

So to the above question. Is amazon buying the Roomba to steal your data? They don’t need to steal what you’ve freely handed over by using their product. Learning how to protect your data is a helpful method to not feel exploited and mined for data. And lastly, beyond home cleaning products, there’s a lot more Amazon could get out of buying iRobot.

The Genesis: When and Who Developed Python?

Contrary to popular misconception, Python wasn't developed in 1995, 1972, or 1981. The programming language was conceived in December 1989 by Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer who was working at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands.

While the name might seem odd at first, it's a clever nod to the language's graceful and efficient nature. Just like a python, Python the language slithers through complex problems with ease.

If on the other hand, you would rather do a thorough analysis of the different platforms from which you can hire top Python developers, see 21 Best Sites to Hire Python Developers.

Now, let us look at some of the mistakes concisely and give you some succinct insights that would set you up for success.

Are you ready? Let’s dive right into it!
‍

‍

Mistake 1: Relying Solely on Resumes and Interviews When Hiring Python Developers

Picture this: You've just hired a Python developer based solely on their impressive resume and engaging interview. Three months later, you're facing missed deadlines, buggy code, and a host of Python workflow issues. Is this the kind of experience you’d like to have? Absolutely not! 

Python’s dynamic typing system can lead to subtle bugs if the developer doesn't follow due process when writing tests. Without strict adherence to PEP-8 standards, the Python developer code might be riddled with issues that can stop the entire team from progressing. 

‍

‍

38 percent of IT decision-makers report their bad hires had inadequate technical skills.  For Python developers, this often translates into poorly structured code, a lack of scalability, or an inability to effectively integrate Python libraries into workflows. What does this imply? Traditional interviews and resume assessments are simply not enough.

‍

Why Traditional Interviews Aren't Enough When Hiring Python Developers

It's easy to get caught up in a shiny resume or a charming personality. The reality is that a great resume doesn't always translate to great coding and your startup's success depends on having the right technical talents. Here's why you need to go beyond basic interviews:

• It’s not enough to assess their skills. Just because someone lists "Python" on their resume doesn't mean they're a coding ninja.
• The theory isn’t practice. Book smarts are great, but can they solve real-world problems?

Of course, we are not going to leave you without giving you the strategies that would help you avoid this pitfall.

How to Avoid This Mistake:

• Give them a Python Coding Challenge: You can set up a practical coding challenge that mimics your project's requirements.
• Do pair programming: Just have them work alongside your team to see how they collaborate and problem-solve.
• Have some technical conversations: You can ask them to explain past projects and how they approached challenges.

Pro Tip: Use platforms like HackerRank or CodeSignal to standardize your technical assessment process. These tools can help you evaluate candidates' Python proficiency objectively.
‍

‍

Mistake 2:  Vague Job Posting When Hiring Python Developers

Just imagine how you would feel when you realize that despite the cost of hiring a new team member they're not quite what you expected. 

Almost 80% of developers are unhappy with their jobs especially during the first year. One of the reasons for this is wrong or poorly communicated expectations. To avoid this, be crystal clear about what you need.

‍

‍

Let’s shed some light on things you need to have on your job posting.

Key Factors to Include in a Python Developer Job Description

Your job posting should have:

• Well spelled-out tech stack: State your required Python framework. Are you using Django, Flask, or something else? Be specific.
• Clarify the responsibilities and expected deliverables: What will their day-to-day look like? What are your expectations for deliverables and timelines?
• Highlight Growth Opportunities for the Candidates: Show them that your startup is a place where they can learn and grow.

Remember, vague job descriptions attract vague candidates. Be specific about what you need.

‍

‍

Mistake 3: Ignoring Soft Skills When Hiring Python Developers

Many startup founders focus exclusively on technical expertise when hiring Python developers. This oversight could cost your business more than you realize. 

Yes, technical skills are important. We alluded to that at the beginning of this article But don't forget about the softer side of development. A brilliant coder who can't communicate or work well with others can be a major headache. Here’s why.
‍

Why Do Soft Skills Matter When Hiring Python Developers?

• Clear Communication: You need a Python developer that can easily explain complex ideas in simple terms.
• Problem-Solving Skill: Your candidate should be able to think critically and find creative solutions.
• Teamwork: The developer should be able to collaborate effectively with others and contribute to a positive team culture.

Now, how do you assess these skills during the hiring process?

‍

How to Assess Soft Skills When Hiring Python Developers

• Ask Behavioral Questions: Inquire about past experiences where they faced challenges and how they handled them.
• Observe Their Communication Style: Do they listen actively? Do they ask thoughtful questions?
• Check Their Teamwork: If possible, have them participate in a pair programming exercise with your team.

‍

Mistake 4: Ignoring The Industry Experience of the Python Developer

It might seem tempting to hire a Python developer with a wide range of skills, but sometimes, industry-specific knowledge is a game-changer. Here's why:

• Faster Learning Curve: A developer who understands your industry can hit the ground running.
• Better Problem-Solving Skills in that Industry: They can anticipate potential challenges and offer innovative solutions.
• Compliance and Regulations: Industry knowledge can help you stay compliant with regulations and avoid legal headaches. This is a big deal and would help you avoid serious legal complications.

‍
‍

Mistake 5: Chasing the Cheapest Option to Reduce Cost of Hiring

We get it. Budgets are tight, especially for startups. However, hiring the cheapest Python developer isn't always the most cost-effective solution. Here's why:

• You would Incur Technical Debts: Poor code quality can lead to future maintenance and scale issues which could slow your project development.
• Potential Security Risks: Inadequate security practices by a rookie can expose your business to cyber threats.
• Low Productivity: A developer who's constantly struggling with tasks because of his inexperience or disgruntled because of his pay can slow down your entire team.

Instead of focusing solely on cost, consider these factors when making your decision:

• Long-Term Value: A skilled Python developer can save you time and money in the long run.
• Team Culture Fit: A good cultural fit can boost morale and productivity.
• Potential for Growth: Look for Python developers who are eager to learn and grow with your startup.

Remember, hiring a pricey but effective Python developer is an investment in your startup's future So, the cost might be worth it.

‍

Mistake 6: Waiting for Python Developers to Find You

In today's competitive market, you can't just post a job and expect the best Python developers to come knocking. You need to be proactive and go out there and find them.

How to Be Proactive:

• Join the Community: Participate in Python forums, contribute to open-source projects, and attend meetups.
• Direct Outreach: Reach out to developers on platforms like GitHub and LinkedIn.
• Content Marketing: Share your company's story and technical challenges to attract top Python programmers.

‍

‍

Mistake 7: Ignoring Culture Fit

A great Python developer who doesn't fit your culture can be a major headache. Look for someone who shares your values, works well with others, and can adapt to your company's unique vibes.

‍

What to Look for in a Cultural Fit When Hiring Python Developers

• Shared Values: Do they align with your company's mission and values?
• Work Style: Do they prefer working remotely or in an office?
• Communication Skills: Can they effectively communicate with team members and clients?
• Problem-Solving Approach: Do they approach challenges with a positive and collaborative mindset?

Following these strategies would help to increase your chances of finding a Python developer who will be a valuable asset to your startup.

‍

Mistake 8: Skipping Quality Assurance

According to IBM, a bug fixed during development costs 15 times less than one fixed in production.

‍

‍

Quality assurance isn't just about finding bugs. It's about writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code. Look for a Python developer who understands the importance of testing, code reviews, and documentation.

‍

‍

Mistake 9: Not Thinking Long-Term

Your startup is growing, and your tech stack will grow with it. Look for a Python developer who can think ahead and build systems that can scale.

‍

Long-Term Thinking Questions to Ask When Hiring a Python Developer

• How do you approach testing?
• What's your experience with code reviews?
• How do you ensure code quality and maintainability?
• What are your thoughts on microservices architecture?
• How do you handle technical debt?

These questions can save you from long-term consequences. Don’t ignore them.

‍

‍

Mistake 10: Ignoring the Power of Portfolios

A Python developer's portfolio is like their resume, but with some codes for you to review! It's a tangible way to see their skills and experience in action. When reviewing portfolios, look for:

• Clean and Well-Documented Code: Is their code easy to understand and maintain?
• Complex Projects: Have they tackled challenging projects?
• Open-Source Contributions: Do they actively contribute to the open-source community?

Remember, a great Python developer is more than just a coder. They're problem-solvers, collaborators, and team players.

‍

3 Common Challenges Startups Encounter When Hiring Python Developers

Beyond the usual challenges of posting job openings, sorting through endless resumes, and still struggling to find the perfect match, here are the top three obstacles that make the process of hiring Python developers even tougher:

1. Talents Scarcity in a Competitive Market: The Python developer landscape is like a high-stakes talent war. Top developers are getting multiple offers, often before they even finish updating their LinkedIn profiles. Startups are competing against tech giants with massive compensation packages and brand recognition. The result? Finding that perfect Python developer feels like hunting for a unicorn.

2. Skill Mismatch and Experience Gaps: Not all Python developers are equal. Many candidates talk a big game but lack the practical skills startups need. You might encounter developers who know academic theory but struggle with real-world applications, have limited experience with startup-specific technologies, and lack an understanding of scalable, production-ready code.

3. Cultural and Technical Alignment: Technical skills are just half the battle. The right Python developer needs to understand your startup's unique technological ecosystem, align with your rapid development culture, and be comfortable with uncertainty and constant iteration. Developers who are too rigid or primarily interested in perfect, over-engineered solutions can slow down your startup's momentum.

Alright, you are now well aware of the common challenges startups often face in hiring Python developers. You can see that you need to put your best foot forward and apply the right strategies required to pull this off – that is where Wajusoft comes in!

Are you dreaming of launching the next big mobile app but feeling overwhelmed about how to hire a Flutter Software Engineer in 2025? Or you just need to hire a remote software engineer in 2025?

You're probably asking yourself: "Should I go with Flutter? And more importantly, how do I find amazing Flutter developers without all that hiring stress?"

Don't worry – We've got your back! We’ve navigated these tricky waters of tech hiring for so many years. We are here to walk you through these steps of hiring Flutter developers in 2025. Let’s start with the basics.

‍

‍

What is Flutter?

Imagine a scenario where you want to launch your app on both iPhone and Android, but you're worried about the cost and time it'll take. That's where Flutter comes in – it's like having a Swiss Army knife for app development. Instead of building two separate apps, you build just one that works beautifully on both platforms. So, let’s consider what flutter development is.

Flutter Development Meaning

Flutter development is the process of creating multi-platform applications using Google's Flutter framework.

What does this really mean for your business? Imagine being able to build one app that works perfectly on both iOS and Android, looks exactly the same on both platforms, and performs just like a native app. That's what Flutter development offers. Remember we stated something similar earlier, right?

Now, let’s consider the folks doing the work.

Who are Flutter developers?

Think of a Flutter developer as a master chef who knows how to cook up amazing apps using Google's special recipe book. They're the wizards who can turn your app idea into reality using Flutter's magic wand (okay, technically it's called the Flutter framework, but you get the idea).

These developers typically bring to your development table, these amazing spices:

• Mad skills in Dart (Flutter's programming language)
• A solid understanding of how mobile apps work
• An eye for making things look pretty and work smoothly
• The ability to build apps that work across different platforms

Of course, who an expert is shouldn’t be far from what they do – let’s go dice into that.

‍

‍

What Does a Flutter Developer Do?

When you hire a Flutter developer, you're getting more than just someone who writes code. They're the architects who breathe life into your app vision. Think of them as the masterminds who carefully plan your app's foundation and structure, making sure data flows smoothly throughout the entire system.

These developers craft beautiful, responsive interfaces that work flawlessly across all devices. They add those smooth animations that make your app feel polished and professional. But they don't stop there – they're also the ones who connect all the pieces together, linking your app to essential backend services and integrating helpful third-party features that users love.

Quality is always top of mind for Flutter developers. They spend countless hours testing, tweaking, and perfecting your app's performance. Through careful optimization and thorough bug fixing, they ensure your users get the best possible experience, whether they're on an iPhone or an Android device.

In essence, Flutter developers are the creative problem-solvers who transform your app dreams into real-world solutions that users can't wait to download. Now, let’s look at their responsibilities.

Flutter Developer Responsibilities

When hiring a Flutter developer, expect them to handle the following:

• Writing clean, maintainable Dart code
• Building custom widgets
• Implementing state management solutions
• Creating responsive and adaptive UIs
• Testing and debugging
• Collaborating with designers and backend developers

Additional skills to look out for are:

• Version control (Git)
• CI/CD experience
• Performance optimization
• App store deployment
• Testing methodologies

Now, this looks like a lot. Let’s streamline the best things to consider in flutter development

What is the Best Thing About Flutter Development?

Let's talk about what really matters here- saving time, cutting costs, and delivering quality. Flutter is a game-changer that delivers on all three fronts.

Time is money, and Flutter helps you save both. Instead of building separate apps for different platforms, your team can create one app that works everywhere, cutting development time by up to 40%. Plus, developers can see their changes instantly, which means faster debugging and smoother progress.

Speaking of money, Flutter can slash your development costs by half. You'll need a smaller team since you're not building separate apps, and maintaining your app won't break the bank either. It's like getting two apps for the price of one, with less hassle to keep them running smoothly.

But what about quality? That's where Flutter really shines. Your users won't know (or care) that it's not a native app - they'll just enjoy a smooth, consistent experience whether they're on an iPhone or Android device. And with built-in testing tools, you can be confident your app will work flawlessly across all platforms.

In short, Flutter gives your startup the edge it needs, delivering faster development, lower costs, and top-notch quality that keeps users coming back for more.

‍

What are the Key Benefits of Hiring Flutter Developers for Mobile App Development?

Let's break down the real business impact of choosing Flutter for your mobile app development.

Think of Flutter as your business's secret weapon. Instead of hiring separate teams for iOS and Android, you'll need just one team to create an app that works beautifully on both platforms. This smart approach typically cuts development costs by 40% and gets your app to market up to 50% faster. Plus, you'll spend about 35% less on maintenance - that's money you can reinvest in growing your business.

But it's not just about saving money. Flutter helps you capture a bigger slice of the market pie. By launching on both iOS and Android simultaneously, you'll reach more users from day one. No more making half your potential users wait while you develop a second version of your app!

What about quality? That's where Flutter really proves its worth. Users get the same smooth, native-like experience whether they're on an iPhone or Android device. Testing is streamlined too, which means fewer headaches and more confidence in your app's performance.

The bottom line is that Flutter delivers the perfect trifecta - lower costs, faster launch, and happy users. It's no wonder more startups are making it their first choice for app development.

Now, let’s consider the disadvantages.

What are the Disadvantages of Flutter development?

Before you jump into Flutter development, let's talk about some real-world challenges you might face. After all, being informed helps you make smarter decisions for your business.

Like any technology, Flutter comes with its own set of trade-offs. Your app might be a bit larger than its native counterparts, and you might find some platform-specific features aren't readily available out of the box. Since Flutter's ecosystem is still growing, you'll occasionally need to roll up your sleeves and work with native code for certain advanced features.

Finding the right talent can be trickier too. The pool of experienced Flutter developers is smaller compared to native developers, and even seasoned mobile developers need time to adjust to Flutter's unique approach. But don't let this discourage you – there are practical ways to handle these challenges.

Smart planning goes a long way. You can optimize your app size, bring in developers with native experience to bridge any technical gaps, and invest in solid architecture planning from the start. These strategies help ensure your Flutter project stays on track and delivers the results you're looking for.

Remember, no development platform is perfect, but understanding these challenges upfront helps you plan better and set realistic expectations for your project.

Want to revolutionize your app development process? Let's talk about how bringing a skilled Flutter developer into your team can be a total game-changer.

Think about the technical magic that happens when you have a Flutter expert on board. Instead of juggling multiple codebases, they'll manage just one that works everywhere. Features get implemented faster, testing becomes a breeze, and those pesky bugs? They show up a lot less often. Your users get that smooth, consistent experience they love, whether they're on an iPhone or Android device.

But here's where it gets exciting – Flutter developers bring innovation to your fingertips. They can craft custom widgets that make your app unique, create those eye-catching animations that users love, and fine-tune everything to perfection on each platform. It's like having a digital artist and technical wizard rolled into one.

The business impact is just as impressive. You'll need a smaller team to accomplish more, spend less on maintenance, and roll out updates faster than ever. Plus, you'll hit the market sooner and reach users across all platforms simultaneously. That's the kind of competitive edge that can make a real difference in today's fast-paced app market.

In essence, a Flutter developer isn't just another hire – they're an investment in your app's success, bringing efficiency, innovation, and competitive advantage all in one package.

Best Practices for Hiring Flutter Developers

Let's walk through a proven approach that'll help you find the perfect match for your team.

Before you dive into hiring, take a moment to get crystal clear on what you need. Think about your project's scope, the technical skills required, and how much experience your ideal candidate should have. Don't forget to consider how they'll fit into your existing team dynamic – personality fit matters just as much as technical skills.

When it comes to assessment, you'll want to create a thorough but fair evaluation process. Have candidates show their technical chops through code reviews and problem-solving tests. But don't stop there – pay attention to how they communicate their thoughts and solutions. A great developer isn't just someone who codes well; they're someone who can explain their thinking clearly.

Now, what should you look for? Obviously, technical expertise and problem-solving abilities are must-haves. But also watch for how well they communicate and whether they'll mesh with your team culture. These soft skills often make the difference between a good hire and a great one.

And here's something crucial – watch out for warning signs. A developer without a portfolio, someone who submits messy code, or a candidate who struggles to explain their thought process might not be your best bet. Trust your gut if something feels off during the evaluation process.

Remember, taking time to find the right fit now saves headaches down the road. Your ideal Flutter developer is out there – you just need to be thorough and patient in your search.

According to Statistica, over 46% of developers now use Flutter. Furthermore, the result of the 2023 Stack Overflow Developer Survey shows that Flutter is among the top 10 most powerful frameworks compared to other languages.

So, before showing you exactly how we can connect you with pre-vetted Flutter developer experts who can help you achieve your goals, let’s have a quick look at a few of the benefits that Flutter development offers your startup.

‍

3 Reasons Why Flutter Development Is Important for Your Startup

Here are some pivotal reasons to keep in mind:

1. Cost-effective development: It enables a build once, deploy everywhere approach with lower maintenance expenses and unified updates. Also, only minimal QA testing resources and time is required.
2. Faster time-to-market:  Flutter’s Hot Reload feature enables instant code changes and pre-built widgets which helps to speed up its UI development. Flutter also facilitates rapid prototyping and iterations.

3. Native-like performance on iOS and Android: Flutter enables startups to build high-performance mobile apps efficiently using a single codebase for both iOS and Android platforms. The framework delivers native-like performance across both operating systems and facilitates a smooth user experience without compromising quality. 

Now, let’s examine the common challenges startups usually face when hiring Flutter developers.

3 Common Challenges Startups Encounter When Hiring Flutter Developers

You've probably experienced this firsthand. Aside from the obvious regular hurdles of posting job listings, sifting through countless resumes, and still not finding the right fit, here are the top three challenges involved in this process:

1. Limited Availability of Experienced Flutter Developers: Flutter is relatively new, so the pool of experienced developers in the framework is small compared to other more established technologies. Because of this, startups often struggle to find senior-level Flutter talents with a proven track record. 

2. Intense Competition for Top Flutter Talents: As Flutter grows in popularity, there is an increasing demand for Flutter developers, especially from larger tech companies that can offer higher salaries and more resources. Startups like yours must work harder to attract and retain the best flutter developers in this tug-of-war. 

3. Difficulties in Evaluating Flutter Developers’ Expertise: Most startups lack the experience to adequately assess a developer's flutter skills and knowledge during hiring. Flutter has a unique syntax and set of concepts, so startups often need to find the right assessment methods.

Now that we’ve shown you the challenges startups often face in hiring Flutter developers. It is obvious that you need to get creative with your recruiting strategies and interview methods to overcome these hurdles – This is where Wajusoft comes in!

‍

‍

3 Reasons Why Django Development Is Important for Your Startup

As a startup founder, you need reliable, scalable, and cost-effective technology. Django checks all these boxes and more.  

Here's why:

1. Get to the Market at Lightning Speed 

You're racing against time, and you need to get to market before your competitors so you can establish a first mover’s advantage. Django is built for exactly that. Django provides everything you need to go from concept to launch faster than most other frameworks. 

2. Cost-Effectiveness

Early-stage startups need to watch every dollar to stay on the right side of cost. Django helps you maximize your development budget by reducing development time, minimizing the need for additional third-party tools, and lowering maintenance costs through clean and maintainable code.

3. Scalability

Your startup needs to grow, this is every founder’s Northstar. So you need a framework that supports scale and Django can easily facilitate that, just as companies like Instagram scaled to billions of users with Django at their core. 

Now, let’s quickly examine the common challenges brands usually face when hiring Django developers.

‍

‍

3 Common Challenges Startups Encounter When Hiring Django Developers

Before we dive into how we help startups navigate the process of hiring Django developers, let's consider some of the challenges that startups generally face when looking to hire Django developers:

1. Limited Local Talent Pool

You might be based in a location where Django expertise is scarce. Some cities have a significant Django developer presence whereas some startups can't find qualified local candidates in other areas.

2. High Costs

Traditional hiring methods can be quite expensive. Some average recruitment agency fees get up to 30% of annual salary with some job board postings close to $500 per position. Throw in the failure rate of new hires and the subsequent cost of replacing bad fits, the costs mount up pretty quickly.

3. Time-Consuming Process

Additionally, the time spent screening candidates which can span up to 35 hours per hire is also a big headache for most early-stage startups, as they can hardly afford such a time commitment since they are almost always overstretched.

The traditional hiring process is slow. You’ll have to spend time engaging in technical screening and contract negotiations.

This is exactly why you have to embrace the Flexforce by Wajusoft. A rapid developer hiring solution that allows you to hire talented Django developers in 3-5 days.

Factors to Consider When Hiring Django Developers

Now, before diving into the platforms, can we address some of the crucial factors that could shape your hiring decision? Getting this right can mean the difference between your efforts becoming a successful project or a costly mistake.

‍

Essential Questions to Ask Yourself Before Hiring A Django Developer on Any Platform

1. What's Your Timeline for Hiring a Django Developer?

Your hiring timeline significantly impacts which platform to choose. For instance, if your timeline is urgent (1-2 weeks), focus on platforms like Wajusoft for pre-vetted developers.

 If your hiring timeline is standard (2-4 weeks), there’s more room to consider freelance and full-time options. Finally, if your timeline is somewhat flexible (4+ weeks), you can explore all options.

Pro tip: Most successful startups take 2-3 weeks to hire quality Django developers. Rushing the process often leads to poor choices and higher costs in the long run. But Wajusoft can get it done for you within 3-5 working days from our pool of Django Developers.  

You may be wondering, “How does Wajusoft get it done within 3-5 days?” “Is that not a rushed process?” We’ll let you in on the secret—we already have a robust pool of rigorously vetted Django programmers. We simply select the right fit based on your request, level of experience, startup culture, and business objectives within 3-5 days. We then introduce you to the selected candidates for interviews and assessments. Isn’t that awesome?

The next question you must ask yourself is about your hiring experience level.

‍

2. How Much Experience Do You Have in Hiring Django Programmers?

Your hiring experience level determines the type of support you'll need. We have categorized it for you and advised some steps to take:

If your experience is limited, use managed platforms that handle vetting, look for technical assessment support services, and consider working with technical recruiters.

On the other hand, if you are experienced, consider direct hiring platforms, and use professional networks and developer communities.

‍

3. Are You Willing to Work with Remote Workers?

As you probably already know, remote work has become the norm, especially for startups. Consider these statistics:

‍

‍

• 71% of startups employ remote developers (Stack Overflow Survey 2023)
• Remote teams can yield up to 34% higher productivity 

‍

‍

Let’s move to the technical sphere of things.

‍

4. Are You Equipped to Assess Technical Skills?

Your technical assessment capabilities should also inform your platform choice. Here’s how to navigate this scenario:

If you lack technical expertise:

• Choose platforms with pre-vetted developers
• Use technical assessment services
• Consider hiring a technical advisor

On the other hand, if you have technical expertise:

• Use direct hiring platforms
• Technical screening tools
• Custom assessment processes

Speaking of technical assessment capabilities, check how to hire front-end developers for a crash course on what to look for when hiring front-end developers. Similarly, you could have a look at how to hire full-stack developers to learn what to look for in full-stack developers.

The next question is about the number of Django developers you need to hire.

‍

5. How Many Developers Do You Need to Hire?

Team size should also dictate your hiring strategy. Here are our recommendations:

For a single developer, use freelance platforms, Individual contractor sites, and direct hiring.

If you need multiple developers, then use team augmentation services, development agencies, and dedicated hiring platforms.

The next question is really about the level of experience you’ll need to adequately execute your project.

‍

6. What Level of Experience Do You Require?

Experience levels of Django Developers :

• Junior (1-3 years): These developers can build basic features and CRUD applications. They often require regular mentoring and code reviews.
• Mid-level (3-5 years): These guys can work more independently on complex features, understand best practices, and can mentor juniors.
• Senior (5+ years): They focus on architect solutions, optimizing  performance, leading teams, and handling complex system design
• Expert/Architect: These folks set technical direction for large projects. They typically engage in solving  novel problems and influencing Django's ecosystem

You need to ask yourself what experience level is required for your project and what your current budget is.

‍

7. What Are Your Budget Constraints?

Understanding your budget helps narrow down platforms. Let’s look at the options:

Startup-friendly options:

• Eastern European developers: $35-65/hour
• South Asian developers: $25-45/hour
• Latin American developers: $40-70/hour

Premium options:

• North American developers: $80-200/hour
• Western European developers: $70-150/hour

However, before you dive into the hiring process, let's lay some crucial groundwork that will set you up for success by first explaining Django.

‍

‍

What is Django? 

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It was first released in 2003 and has since become one of the most popular and widely used web frameworks for building web applications. 

‍

What is Django's Place in the Modern Development World?

‍

‍

Django has emerged as a powerhouse framework for web development. According to the 2024 Django Developer Survey, Django ranks among the top 10 most loved web frameworks, with a 71% developer satisfaction rate. For your startup, this means that with Django, you have a higher chance of making your dream of succeeding a reality.

Let’s take a look at some of the important features of Django you need to know about.

Important Django Features You Should Know About

1. Model-View-Template (MVT) Architecture: Django follows the Model-View-Template (MVT) architectural pattern, which separates the application logic into three interconnected components: the model (data access layer), the view (business logic), and the template (presentation layer).
2. Object-Relational Mapping (ORM): Django's ORM allows developers to interact with the database using Python code, rather than writing raw SQL queries. This abstraction makes the development process more efficient and less error-prone.
3. Admin Interface: Django comes with a built-in admin interface that provides a user-friendly way to manage the application's data and users, reducing the time and effort required to build an administrative backend.
4. URL Routing: Django's URL routing system allows developers to define clean and SEO-friendly URLs for their web applications, making it easier to maintain and scale the application.
5. Template System: Django's template system provides a powerful and flexible way to generate dynamic HTML pages and separate the presentation logic from the application logic.
6. Security Features: Django includes several built-in security features, such as protection against cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and SQL injection, thereby making it easier to build secure web applications.

Now, let’s briefly explore what Django can be used for.

‍

What's Django used for?

Django is a versatile web framework that can be used to build a wide range of web applications, it includes the following:

1. Content Management Systems (CMS): Django is often used to build content management systems, such as blogs, news portals, and e-commerce platforms.
2. Web APIs: Django's ability to handle HTTP requests and responses makes it a great choice for building RESTful APIs.
3. Enterprise-level Applications: Django's scalability and security features make it a popular choice for building large-scale, enterprise-level web applications.
4. Real-time Applications: Django can be used to build real-time applications, such as chat applications and collaborative tools, by integrating it with WebSocket technologies.

You may have lingering questions on whether there are actual benefits in using Django for web development.

‍

Step 1: Assess and define your Django-specific project needs

Before hiring a Django developer, it's important to assess and define your project's specific needs. This will help you determine the right skills and experience you need in a candidate, as well as the appropriate staffing strategy and budget.

The cost factors of hiring Django developers

The cost of hiring a Django developer can vary depending on several factors, including:

Now you need to make an important decision.

‍

Decide on the staffing strategy you are adopting for your Django talent search

When hiring Django developers, you'll need to decide on the appropriate staffing strategy. Options include:

1. In-house Hiring: Bringing on a full-time, in-house Django developer can provide greater control and integration with your team, but may be more expensive.
2. Freelance or Contract-based: Hiring freelance or contract-based Django developers can be more cost-effective, especially for short-term or project-based work.

Now that you've defined your project needs and crafted a compelling job description, it's time to start screening potential Django developers. This step is crucial to finding the right fit for your team and ensuring a successful project outcome. Let’s go into more detail.

‍

Assess the Practical Experience of a Django Developer 

When screening Django developers, you should look for candidates with hands-on experience and a solid grasp of the framework. 

Here are some key things to assess:

1. Portfolio and Past Projects: Review the developer's portfolio to see the types of Django projects they've worked on, the technologies they've used, and the level of complexity involved. Look for examples that align with your project's requirements.
2. Django-Specific Knowledge: Probe the candidate's understanding of Django's core features, such as the MVT architecture, ORM, admin interface, URL routing, and template system. Ask them to explain how they've leveraged these features in past projects.
3. Problem-Solving Approach: Evaluate the developer's ability to tackle complex problems and find efficient solutions. Discuss how they've approached challenging tasks or bugs in previous Django projects.
4. Testing and Deployment Experience: Assess the candidate's familiarity with automated testing frameworks and their experience with deployment processes, such as continuous integration and delivery.
5. Domain-Specific Expertise: If your project requires industry-specific knowledge (e.g., e-commerce, healthcare, finance), make sure the developer has relevant experience in that domain.

Evaluate a Django Developer's Experience Level

When screening Django developers, it's important to determine their level of experience and seniority. This will help you identify the right candidate for your project's needs and budget. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Years of Django Experience: Look for candidates with at least 2-3 years of hands-on experience working with the Django framework.
2. Project Complexity: Assess the complexity and scale of the Django projects the developer has worked on. More experienced developers will typically have tackled larger, more challenging projects.

4. Architectural and Design Skills: Experienced Django developers should have a deep understanding of software architecture and design patterns, and be able to make informed decisions about the structure and scalability of the application.
5. Mentorship and Team Collaboration: Senior Django developers should have experience mentoring junior developers and work collaboratively within a team environment.

While candidates’ hard skills are very important, perhaps the most important but often overlooked skill set that ultimately decides whether your Django developer excels or bombs on the job is more subtle and difficult to pin down- their soft skills.

‍

Evaluate a Django Developer's Soft Skills

In addition to technical skills, it's crucial to assess a Django developer's soft skills, as these can significantly impact their ability to work effectively within your team and contribute to the success of the project. Consider the following:

1. Communication and Collaboration: Evaluate the candidate's ability to clearly explain technical concepts, document their work, and communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders.
2. Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Assess the developer's analytical skills, and ability to break down complex problems, and find creative solutions.
3. Learning Agility: Look for candidates who are eager to learn, stay up-to-date with the latest Django developments, and continuously improve their skills.
4. Adaptability and Flexibility: Ensure the developer can adapt to changing project requirements and work well in an agile environment.
5. Time Management and Organization: Evaluate the candidate's ability to prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and manage their workload effectively.

‍

‍

Review Resumes and Portfolios

When screening Django developers, start by thoroughly reviewing their resumes and portfolios. Look for the following:

1. Work Experience: Examine the candidate's work history, focusing on their Django-specific experience and the types of projects they've worked on.
2. Technical Skills: Ensure the developer has the required technical skills, such as proficiency in Python, Django, databases, web development, and testing.
3. Relevant Qualifications: Check for any Django-related certifications, training, or educational background that could be beneficial for your project.
4. Portfolio Samples: Review the developer's portfolio to assess the quality, complexity, and relevance of their past work.

‍

Conduct Technical Interviews and Coding Tests

After the initial resume and portfolio review, invite promising candidates to participate in technical interviews and coding tests. This will help you evaluate their practical skills and problem-solving abilities:

1. Technical Interviews: Ask the developer in-depth questions about Django's core features, architecture, and best practices. Discuss how they would approach specific challenges or scenarios related to your project.
2. Coding Tests: Provide the candidate with a coding exercise or a small project that aligns with your project requirements. Assess their ability to write clean, efficient, and well-documented code.
3. Collaborative Problem-Solving: Engage the developer in a collaborative problem-solving session, observing how they approach and communicate through a complex technical challenge.
4. Remote Work Capabilities: If the role involves remote work, evaluate the developer's ability to work independently, communicate effectively, and use necessary tools and technologies.

By thoroughly screening Django developers, you'll be able to identify the best candidates who not only possess the technical skills but also the soft skills and cultural fit to contribute to the success of your project.

‍

Step 5: Select the Best Django Developer Candidates

After the screening process, it's time to select the best Django developer candidates for your project. Here are some key considerations:

1. Alignment with Project Requirements: Evaluate how well the candidate's skills, experience, and expertise align with the specific needs of your project.
2. Technical Competence: Assess the developer's practical Django knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and coding proficiency based on the technical interviews and coding tests.

4. Growth Potential: Evaluate the developer's learning agility and their ability to grow and adapt to evolving project requirements and technologies.
5. Availability and Fit for Staffing Strategy: Ensure the selected candidate is available to start within your desired timeline and fits your chosen staffing strategy (in-house, freelance, or outsourced).

Once you've identified the top candidates, engage in further discussions to assess their interests, clarify expectations, and finalize the hiring process by making an offer.

‍

‍

Step 6: Make an Offer

When making an offer to a Django developer, consider their experience level and market rates. For juniors (1-3 years),  mid-level (3-5 years), seniors (5+ years), and experts/architects, your offer would definitely vary.
