Enterprise transformations consistently fail because companies rush from high-level strategy straight into design and development, bypassing the crucial work of defining what they're actually building and why.
Align Product Strategy
For over 12 years, our business model has been straightforward: time and materials billing based on developer hours. While others competed on price with offshore teams, we competed on our ability to solve complex problems in highly regulated industries, hitting impossible deadlines time and time again. We became the team enterprises called when they couldn't afford to fail – or when they'd already tried and it didn't work.

Agentic development is 2-4x faster. We price it that way. Most consultancies wouldn't. Faster delivery at the same rate means more margin. But we'd rather align incentives from day one than have clients wondering whether we're padding timelines.

A few weeks ago, our team had the incredible opportunity to attend ng-conf 2024, the world's original Angular conference, where we immersed ourselves in the latest developments and best practices in Angular technology. It was an enlightening experience that not only showcased the evolving landscape of web development but also reinforced our commitment to delivering exceptional digital solutions.
Frontend Development
Figma's commitment to collaboration tools, such as comments and developer plugins, ensures a seamless and transparent exchange of ideas between design and development teams. With Figma's Dev Mode, the communication gap has narrowed, and developers are now equipped with a tool that not only enhances their workflow but also fosters a collaborative and productive development experience.

Angular 17 was released on November 8, 2023, introducing several new features and enhancements, such as SSR, View Transitions API, support for TypeScript 5.2 and more. These enhancements are set to significantly enhance the Angular development experience and provide more efficient, flexible and performant solutions. The updates are outlined in the sections below.
Frontend DevelopmentYou're using tokens and you don't even know it. One of the goals of a design system is to close the gap between multiple disciplines and especially between design and development. With the features and tools Figma provides us, this gap becomes smaller. But what if I tell you with the proper integration of design tokens, we can make this gap closer than it was ever before. Let's talk about tokens and how it can level up your design system.

The future of digital experience platforms will be shaped by the ongoing evolution of technologies such as generative AI, voice and conversational interfaces, augmented and irtual reality (AR/VR), internet of things (IoT), and edge computing, as well as the growing importance of data privacy and security. By staying ahead of these developments and embracing the full potential of DXPs, organizations can maintain their competitive edge and ensure their long-term success in the digital age.

As a designer, we dream of delivering amazing experiences, beautiful UI, and exceptional products. But how often do we see the end product not match our initial expectations? It's easy to say "We want to build this amazing thing but we don't have enough development capacity." Being able to work around these constraints and being able to get your ideas into production is really a skill on its own.

When WebAssembly (Wasm) launched in 2017, there was a massive hype around it; people called it the next step in web development. As the exposure grew, the open-source community began to generate a lot of support and tooling for it. The decentralized nature of the community makes it challenging to track Wasm's current state, so this blog post will recap its evolution over the past five years and what WebAssembly has developed into in 2022.
