As a Quality professional, it is a daunting task to keep up with the changes in technology. The need to know new programming languages, be aware of the latest-and-greatest testing tools, and know how to deliver applications faster in our daily practice are just some of the challenges we face. In addition, many organizations are focusing on AI and Machine Learning as a way to modernize their business.
Modernize Your Stack
We all like to believe that there's someone else in the room who has a grasp on what's going on when we're feeling in over our head. Play it cool man. Pretend like you've done this 1000 times before. I totally got this, and if I don't, someone else does and will tell me what to do. Until it's time to produce something, and you realize everyone around you is in the same boat, and it's called the "SS Please Send Halp."🤦♀️ (Who names their boat like that?!)

Scale Design
CSS is often belittled because it's naturally global—which programmers wish to avoid—but doing so betrays a lack of understanding of CSS' foundational premise and greatest strength.
Frontend Development
Diversity is a fact, while inclusion is a human act. At Rangle, this is our mindset as we continue to enable and promote D&I (diversity and inclusion) at our office in Toronto and now in Tokyo, Atlanta, and Amsterdam too.
So you've been assigned to a team that you've never worked with before. You're excited and nervous all at the same time because you don't know how you'll fit. What do you do?
Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) can be daunting subjects. You might've heard about neural networks, generative adversarial networks (GANs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) but have no clue what people are talking about.
Frontend Development
A design system is an amorphous thing. One definition I like, and there are several, is that it's an ecosystem of tools, guidelines, and shared values and principles that helps teams more efficiently ship consistent design. Similar to how different ecosystems emerge from the interactions of its communities, a design system varies from one business to the next, according to the needs and interactions of its teams. With that in mind, it's just not possible to define a specific set of artifacts that should make up every design system, nor should we try to.
Scale Design
Over the last 15 years I've gone through many Agile transformations. The desire for change and a shift from traditional waterfall methodology is often driven by the need for faster ROI and to accommodate the ever-changing needs of the customer.
Build Engineering Capability
The broad effects of technology are creating new demands for organizations to adopt practices that avoid negative secondary impacts from the products and services they design and deliver.
Align Product Strategy
Rangle was my first internship and I didn't know what to expect walking into my first day at work. The only thing I knew for sure was I wanted to work and learn from people a variety of different roles. Once I started, I found out that my manager Fernanda, Demand Generation manager, worked directly with the website team and I quickly expressed my interest in sitting in on meetings and taking on work in addition to my marketing tasks. Little did I know that working with a Scrum team would completely change my perspective on what I want to do and how I want to work.
As you go from a smaller to a medium-sized team, the need to share knowledge becomes crucial. It is the perfect time to invest in a design system. However, you're likely under delivery pressure. You're hoping to meet deadlines and roll out new features to ensure that your product is successful. In this blog post, I will share a few practices that will allow you to establish a design system that facilitates knowledge sharing without sacrificing delivery speed.
