Focused

As we prepare to drop our full case study on this project, we wanted to share a #throwback from last year when Focused CEO Austin V. sat down with Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants CMO Jennifer Bell to discuss how we partnered?to build a custom restaurant loyalty app that’s redefining customer engagement! Take a look back to see how we made it happen! https://lnkd.in/g8Bf4rEw #customsoftware #customerloyaltyapp #restauranttechnology

Last week, the Focused team in Denver traded keyboards for carving tools for our?first annual pumpkin carving party! We love these festive moments bonding with the team! ?? #FocusedTeam #CompanyCulture #LoveWhereYouWork

Why is it that: Legacy in the context of ?? = BAD Legacy in the context of ???? = GOOD Legacy code tells the story of the business, the problems it’s solved, and the challenges it has faced. Each line of code holds decisions made under constraints, with creativity, and often with clever workarounds. Working with legacy code builds essential engineering skills: Patience, attention to detail, and the ability to make small, meaningful improvements that add up to a considerable amount of business value. Working with legacy code is an exercise in empathy - you are forced to put yourself in the shoes of the original authors.

We've just returned from an exciting week in New York City, filled with innovation and collaboration! We started the week by spending valuable time alongside our friends at?honeycomb.io?during their?#ObservabilityDays. As always, this community's depth of knowledge and creativity is truly inspiring. The Focused team spent the rest of the week at #DevOpsCon in Brooklyn, where our team made significant contributions. Micah Adams delivered a thoughtful keynote on transcending traditional observability, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in software development. Andy Ennamorato complemented this by hosting an engaging session on all things OpenTelemetry, diving deep into this crucial aspect of modern observability. It was a great week. Huge shout out to the Focused team for making it so valuable! Max Lubivy Ryan Priselac

It's exciting to see Focused CEO Austin V.'s perspective featured in Forbes! Austin shared his thoughts on California's recent veto of the AI regulation bill (SB 1047). As quoted in Forbes: "This legislation actually would have stifled innovation from new players and entrenched the dominance of big companies including Google, Amazon and Meta." https://lnkd.in/g6mNPfPP

We had a fantastic time hosting the TechYeet #womenintech event last night! A huge thanks to our speaker,?Danaya Wilson,?and all of the incredible women who attended! ??
