@wenfiltech
Split your job roles into 2. 1) web dev 2) mobile.
That way you get the best of specialists. If you hav money to send to conferences and offer training then such costs should b nothing to you. In the web space consider further splitting: front end and ui/ux and backend. In d mobile space: split further: android,ios

There is nothing like self denial.

The question of whether a payment processor should be integrated into the chat app is for marketers.

Programmers would only come in when the question how? Is asked.

And I gave an appropriate response.

When I delved into core programming; it was a digression meant for you and not the app creator.
and I made that clear multiple times.

Cheers.

p.s.: this is a programming board; not the Business one . . . Based on your suggestion; he shouldn't have posted such a question here.

You were the one who went off track.

Someone suggested that he integrate a payment processing into his app.

This is a marketing advice and discussion as the approach and technical side of this were never mentioned.

Only for you to say that it was against a programming principle.

What is the name of the principle and who propounded it if I may.

Or better still tell me how the above suggestion is related to big o and agile and redis?

If you choose to live in self-denial, my friend, it's your choice.

And on the thought about self thought vs degree programmers.

I believe this comparison is baseless as the comparison should be rather be about good vs bad programmers.

I actually took this same stand; I considered it baseless, I didn't comment about it..
But with the way bad programmers are springing up every nano second especially on Nairaland;
I might just go along with that guy that says programmers needs to be regulated by a board kinda.
At least, in Nigeria; for now !

You still dont get the point.

Or do you think Amazon sat down with its developers to talk agile before deciding to incorporating any of their services

Bros, please stop this grin

. You are cracking me up real good here. Let me repeat myself. That post was more of a digression. Well I get you point. So let that one rest.
I don't know what methodology amazon uses; but methodology isn't something that is written on a whiteboard and decided upon
prior to making decisions.
Nobody says "hey, lets build a new integration?" shall we use agile, or otherwise?
or which TDD shall we employ?
Hahaha grin

That statement alone shows you don't even understand what I was saying all long; more like it's kinda beyond your scope
Your perhaps know the Google definition of it; but not the practical implementation of it. You would only when you work where it is being
practiced.
And I say that politely, please don't take it as an insult.

You make a lot of points but all this have absolutely nothing to do with the question. A chat app that allows people to make payments.

And for your information I am a computer science graduate from futo. So believe me when I say I dont make rookie mistakes.

And you dont need a sermon to drive home your points.

That response was not about the app; but your question of principles

Congratulations: well you get the point !
A comp sci graduate who negates the use of principles? I want to believe otherwise !!!

An app that allows a payment system . . I say Nay, you say Yay.
At the end of the day, the app maker is pleased to do as he/she desires.

And yes, I know Jeffery and a host of others. The problem is . . they learn in reverse. but over time, will become just as good as one with the core fundamentals or even better.

As you could see in my analogy, the problem to our imaginary app was fixed in reverse;
which poses a threat in commercial standards.

@CNN80

The quote is in order. But kinda vague you know.
There are batteries for 200,000 and batteries for 87,000
Quality matters.

Then for how long those loads would run is another case study (the most important sef)
It wasn't mentioned or perhaps I missed it somewhere.

Anyways, when people ask me about running ACs on inverters. I just tell them to budget at least 3M
before we start doing any calculation of any sorts. Even before I got an inverter that was capable of handling ACs
I had nearly kissed that mark.

Go with a lower budget and watch your batteries literally speak and curse you every goddamn day!
Unless of course, the power situation in your arena is quite lovely and you ain't 100% offgrid, lol

And now going back to your questions of principles developed by who or where?

Who developed the Waterfall method, or the Agile methods? how about Scrum. It's already quite obvious you are self-taught. I really have no problem with that. But this is where "you" might have a problem.

A customer needs a web app. After shipping, your web app consumes 956MB of RAM. And takes forever to search the DB records. Oh good Lord! Customer complains. A computer scientist will not even have this issue because before shipping, the apps are already tested and optimized for memory usage and performance, disk io rates; and bandwidth consumption; cpu usage etc. Well, no self taught tests for these things and that would even be an understatement.

So back to bedlam. Customer complains. You go to google and search "my application is using too much memory" . . "how to transverse a DB quickly" etc
and you get some results talking gibberish . . e.g.

The big O notation, a pigeon vs an email in file transfer; use Recursion instead of endless for loops; use memcache; integrate redis; use quicksort
blah blah blah

And you start wondering what the heck has Big O got to do with an html/css application in php and bootstrap;
and why must i spin up Redis for this simple laravel application; when I have mysql or sqlite? what the f*k is quicksort?
i could just do a "db connect" and "for each" the living daylight out of it.

then you start googling again: "what is Big O" , "how to implement big O in PHP" . . . "how to implement Redis".... like seriously?

And you get answers like "the world has moved on to non-relational databases" and you start googling again
"differences between relational and non relational databases"

And when you start to get brain fogged with all the information that don't even scratch the surface.

You go back to the codes and start reducing your if else statements, or probably creating more nested loops and vice versa.
You start refactoring by grouping together code blocks into functions and reducing lines of code blocks.

And guess what? YOU DID NOTHING !!!

And that, my friend, is the problem derived from a lack of understanding of principles.

resosdigital:
Principles developed by who and where?

Tested, validated and universally accepted by who and where?

Look at Amazon- started as a book selling and lending app but now is a full fledged ecommerce app. But not just that though, you have amazon prime cast TV incorporated, amzon drive, Amazon go, merch by Amazon, Amazon art etc.

Why didn't amzon go out of business because they shifted from their reason of existence. Or why did users embrace the new features and additions even if they were not book related.

Think jumia. Now, jumia pay, jumia food, jumia travel and so.

I still maintain my stand that it is still down to the developer and company.

After all the app is yours, you could integrate any features you want without having to worry about any principles.

And by the way, the fact that we share different opinions on this matter, doesnt make one smarter than the other.

You miss the point . . Taking Amazon as a case study. They started selling books. Great !
Then developed into a full-fledged online store for anything and everything (not limited to books)! Superb
Well, still within the niche of commerce, you would agree.

Then went further into delivering IaaS products? Superb . . But guess what? that is a whole different niche and was not incorporated into the buying and selling product. I am talking AWS et al.

Okay, Jeff wasn't satisfied and added movies and entertainment. Guess what? Another whole different niche. Heck, they even have a website app dedicated to the entertainment: primevideo.com. Of course you could access prime from the regular website as a form of advertising what it does; watch a handful of content here and there but if you were serious about it, you'd get primevideo.

So in summary, each product is carved from and independent niche. If AWS goes down, we'd still have the amazon shopping center.
if the shopping site goes down, we'd still have AWS and primevideo and so on and so forth. Well you get the idea.

But incorporating a payment system and social system into one single app. If the app goes down huh

You miss the point bro.

You drop a screenshot with literally everything blurred out.

Drop the links to the repo then I will begin to shiver.

They are blurred out; because they are private and not for consumption on Nairaland. Heck; you can even see the padlock symbol on some.
You don't figure if an employer asked me for one; I would send it blurred like that, right?

On a lighter note, if you are in dire need of shivering; put your air conditioning unit on full blast; and stay in front of it bare-chested.

On a serious note; if you want to see them; I'd oblige you, Send me a PM . . we can do a private video call

resosdigital:
An app should be devoted to just one thing!

Well, that is your own opinion and idea and definitely no principle.

Let's talk about this for a while and while we are at it; let's reason like adults . .

The snapchat application: what does it do? social connection
Instagram? what does it do? social connection

How about the paypal app? financial connection

and the Uber app? transportation connection . . .

Now imagine paypal starts to do snaps as a feature. so while sending money to your loved ones, you could add one or two "snaps" like like snapchat
or imagine, you could now use "instragram" to transfer money to somebody's paypal account.

It misses the objective; why the app existed in the first place . . . Try to incorporate another external feature and see it dead on arrival.
Facebook tried integrating p2p payments and taxi hailing into their app. Ask yourself how many times have you used facbook's p2p payment system. Then compare that with PayPal, skrill, perfectmoney, and crypto currencies (in their dedicated application).

And how many times have taxis being hailed using facebook?
How many times do people use the dedicated apps like Uber? Taxify?

Well, you get the idea.

Go back and read the SOLID principle of programming. It's not only for classes and methods; it extends into the overall Dev ops.
There was a hot debate here sometimes why Computer Science degree holders are way better than self-taught programmers. I chose to stay neutral but now I am beginning to reason along that line too. This is something any body would have learned in the fundamentals.
Self taught always think they have learnt it all cos they shipped a product; but they are missing the whole fundamentals.

Now feel free to counter my position; but do it nicely and not like that rabid dog; who has enough to purchase a daughter
but could not purchase his family out of poverty. He got his chance but missed it; and has been ignored since 6am today.
He will be e-buried in my collection of memes.

If it doesn't work with you just move on bro.

What the company wants is more than paying, it's better a developer becomes part of the success than get paid.

If you have lots of paid developments, it won't hurt having shares in one.

Don't discourage those who are interested please.

I am not discouraging anybody; after all I am not holding a gun to anyone's temple . . I am only saying;
any seasoned programmer worth his salt; will not take up your offer. So if you are like to get any offers; they will be from script kiddies; rookies.
You need to beware; that one is already enough to be worried about. Because you will end up spending twice (to keep up with incompetent programmers + maintaining a poorly designed infrastructure); than if you had raised some money and gone all out.
Secondly; there needs to be some serious level of business presentation; statistics and data to prove the LLC will not fail. Take note that; no business makes profit instanta. Amazon was founded in 1994; first profit was made in 2001. Ask me how many programmers will wait that long today; with the current global index as regards ( housing, feeding, clothing, rent, health, education) costs.
Now believe me there are people who will wait that much even longer, even me I can . . But it must be backed by solid proof; a solid idea.
And what I see on Nairaland everyday is recycled trash; and how do you know them. They tell you that you will own a part of the company.
That's the breaker, right there.
If a programmer is worth #350,000 and you need him for a startup; You should at least pay him #175,000 then you can consider share/stock options
not asking for codes with his expertise with zero payment and a hope for "future" shares; that may never materialize.
You got it?

Enough of this partnership thingy !!! It's becoming annoying.

People looking for free labor in the name of partnership. it sucks.

If you are floating an LLC, then you should know that programmers have to be paid . .

Add it to your budget; goddamit

Did you do a partnership with whomsoever owns the office space? Or any partnership with whomsoever sold the office equipment?

But now you are looking for someone to write codes for free.
