A novice developer often does not think about what the program is intended for and how it will be used in the future. For many, compliance with code quality standards comes to the foreground, also most developers do not care how this code will be used in real life.
If the project manager is not experienced enough or does not have time to dive into business processes, a situation may arise when the program works correctly in test mode, and when switching to the production version, it shows a bunch of errors and shortcomings. We'll figure out what a novice developer needs to consider so that development is useful to the end user.
Step 1: Do sanity checks
Novice developers often implement "good" algorithms that work great with the "right" data. They do not pay attention to the behavior of the program when “incorrect” data comes into it. Namely, this is usually the first thing that happens as soon as the program starts working in a production environment.
It is difficult for the programmer to take into account absolutely all possible situations, but to work in this direction is necessary. The algorithm should have sanity checks in each block of code and generate messages for the user indicating warnings or errors in the data.

SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) - in RF engineering and microwave, the ratio of the amplitude of the maximum (in a line) to the amplitude of the minimum (in the same line) of the standing wave in a cable, antenna or waveguide. SWR is a rate of the impedance matching of the load with the internal impedance of the feeder line or waveguide. The problem with mismatched impedance leads to the appearance of unwanted standing waves along the transmission line.

SWR is defined as the ratio of the amplitude of the standing wave (unwanted) in the maximum to the amplitude at the minimum along the transmission line. SWR characterizes the degree of matching of the loading Wi-Fi antenna and the feeder (coaxial cable or feeding waveguide). Sometimes SWR is given for matching the output of the wireless Wi-Fi Access point and it’s feeder.

In practice, there always exists some part of the transmitted energy that is reflected and returned back to the transmitter. Too much reflected energy degrades the operation of the wireless transmitter or can even damage it.

According to the US Department of Labor, poor hiring decisions cost companies 30% of their first year's earnings. For a software development manager, this means knowing what good habits you want your team culture to be proactive before interviewing candidates.

In addition to creating effective recruiting methods, it is also very important to establish a team-oriented work culture and encourage mutual cooperation.

What is the most important factor to consider when building a good software development team?

Building a great software team starts with having effective hiring methods. Hiring the professional people at the right time to get the right opportunities can nurture people, build teams and bring success to the company.
