"IT development has been around for more than 60 years and it has undergone radical transformations from the emergence of the first programming languages and OS development to the internet boom and the current AI era. Although programming tools and approaches are constantly changing, one thing remains constant: Only those developers who can adapt and master new knowledge and skills survive."
"I'm the chief software officer of a 70-strong team that designs a predictive maintenance system (PdM): A solution based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and AI. Without continuous growth, our developers cannot remain competitive. The same is true in nearly every industry; when individuals stop working on their skills, a company can lose its edge. Here's a look at how we have created a system where professional development is an integral part of the work."
A 70-strong team designs a predictive maintenance system (PdM) built on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and AI. Continuous growth is required for developers to remain competitive; stalled skill development can cost companies their edge. Teams should limit routine-specialist roles to about 20%, while roughly 80% should actively develop expertise. The driver-to-performer ratio depends on company stage: startups need more drivers, mature organizations require steady hard-skill improvement and quality leadership. Professional development can be embedded through small actions, such as mandatory test-writing for all team members, including senior specialists.
