And you thought you were having a bad day…did you see what happened to the developers over at Nissan? The source code (Git repos) for Nissan’s mobile apps and internal tools was leaked to the Internet because the link was publicly accessible and the password easy to guess. 😬 Yikes.
The first few weeks of COVID-19 lockdowns were chaotic for organizations in every industry.

As we head towards COVID-19’s first anniversary, let’s take a moment to analyze how far we’ve all come.

Throughout the workweek or during the process of any project, even the best small teams can hit obstacles. Issues with miscommunications, unproductive meetings, too many emails, and not knowing what the other members of the team are doing can all work together to stall your team's productivity and efficiency. The term Team Efficiency refers to a team achieving maximum productivity with minimal wasted effort or expenses.
Languages are complicated, and every language is complicated in different ways that can be hard to understand without learning every single one of them. Some languages form words from multiple characters while others have symbols that represent entire concepts. Some feature words without pluralization or gender and rely on context for that while others have two or even more genders for words. Some are very phonetic while others pronounce words seemingly at random (cough English, though cough).
VCLB Ghent is a Belgian non-profit organization that serves pupils between the ages of 3 and 18 years old. Every two years, we offer students a free medical checkup. The organization also works with schools to support students that struggle with learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and other issues. As a multidisciplinary team, VCLB Ghent’s staff does contact tracing for schools in the event of an outbreak of a contagious disease, such as meningitis, hepatitis, or measles.
