In the first decades of electronic computing, many of the most important programmers were women. Grace Hopper, Evelyn Boyd Granville, and Margaret Hamilton were the female computing pioneers of the 1950s and 60s.

But flash forward more than a half century, and the picture looks much different. Although more women than men graduate from college, and the computing world has boomed for decades, only a small fraction of computer programmers are women.

Imagine you could write your own software applications without any programming experience!

Well, it turns out you can. Platforms like Quixy and Retool offer the ability to make software with little to no programming skills. They are part of a growing movement of Low Code and No Code (LC/NC) software development.

While LC/NC can be powerful tools in certain contexts, their overall abilities are limited. That’s why JetRockets uses regular programming to build web applications for our clients.

Although it can be sad to see a good employee leave, turnover is a normal and unavoidable part of managing a business. People come and go for a variety of reasons.

Turnover is something to be managed, not avoided. The goal should be to maintain as much continuity as possible throughout operations. In doing so, you can protect client interests and deliver the best service or product possible.

The tech world moves rapidly, and there’s nothing more off-putting to customers than seeing an outdated app or interface. But when your business grows and scales, it’s easy to be left behind as you deal with the new complexities of a growing business.

You see this happen sometimes with large hotel chains that have a massive infrastructure to manage. Their sheer size prevents them from updating quickly. But smaller hospitality businesses with room to grow have the advantage of being able to use technology to help them scale.
