It\u2019s time the business world start treating them like the specialists they are.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, software development is something they pay little attention to. Most people open an app, a web browser, a program or game and know what they want to do with it, but they have no idea how it actually works. They don\u2019t think about it, they don\u2019t care. All they want to know about an app is if it does what they need it to do. And that\u2019s the way it should be. People shouldn\u2019t have to worry about how taking a photo of a check gets money into their bank accounts, or how their tweets can reach around the world in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s a class of people who spend their work hours thinking of little else. They obsess over the details that keep the modern world running. These folks are developers \u2013 people who design, code and secure the world of software. Those developers are not a dime a dozen, especially when it comes to sensitive material or financial data.&nbsp; So why are devs so often seen as menial employees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it. The foundation of your business is in software development. These are the people who ensure that your business\u2019 code is stable, secure and functional. They are the ones who patch security vulnerabilities and create the new features and products you want to offer your customers. These are your bread-and-butter employees. Without the foundation, everything falls apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwvconsultants.com\/blog\/hiring-a-young-coder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Good developers are hard to come by<\/a>. The dev job market shows there\u2019s about one dev for every five open positions. Also, turnover is about 30-40%, industry-wide, with inadequate training and burn out being the leading factors devs quit over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What developers do, what security professionals do, is highly specialized. The complexities of software development can oftentimes make the operation of a nuclear power plant look straightforward. Much like doctors and lawyers, developers must be viewed as what they are: a hot commodity. They are not easily replaced or interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry-wide, devs get a lot of flak for their work. Timelines and budgets are always wrong (because estimates are just that, an estimate) and business leaders often ask devs to do things they don\u2019t agree with. Like skimping on security in order to get a product out. This is why the average length of time a developer spends at a job is two years \u2013 there is plenty of work to do out there, plenty of companies willing to pay developers more than the next person. But if you\u2019re forcing them to make concessions they don\u2019t like, expect your turnover rate to increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, we have seen a trend towards developers taking control of the conversation, to say that they won\u2019t accept certain practices, or be held to unrealistic deadlines. They know they can find work elsewhere, so if they aren\u2019t getting job fulfillment or they are increasingly stressed at their job, they know they can find another one pretty quickly. If they aren\u2019t treated properly, that can also cause turnover. If they aren\u2019t paid enough, they\u2019ll leave. If they don\u2019t agree with the direction of the company, they\u2019ll look elsewhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just about the money because there are plenty of companies out there who will pay. Humans have this ingrained need to be productive, to do something that makes a difference and means something. But when you start asking people to deviate from their own moral and ethical compass, you affect their mental health in a negative way. They have lost respect for you, which ultimately will lead them to find a new job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s times the business world starts seeing software developers for what they really are: Specialists. They possess the hard skills that are fundamental and necessary to bring products to market and ensure our ever-increasing digital lives continue to function. They are professionally more akin to lawyers and doctors in that very few people who work with them can \u201ccheck\u201d or verify their work. It takes a high-level developer to truly recognize another high-level developer. If business leaders and corporate hiring managers can warm up to this fundamental shift in how they engage with software developers professionally, we would see a drastic reduction in turnover among devs. Software development would no longer be a race to the bottom, where companies get burned by blackbox agencies, and offshore firms who don\u2019t understand what they have been given to build.&nbsp; Every business needs a digital presence. It is often the first and sometimes only interaction your customer has with your business. The people who build that experience for you matter because what they do matters to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developers are starting to realize that they have more control and are making their voices heard. They are the captain of a ship which has been commissioned to complete a task. They are your peers, your colleagues. They are not peons and they are not beneath you. Developers should be respected and treated as valued members of your team. Otherwise, what reason do they have to stay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time for the business world to better understand the world of development. It\u2019s complicated, complex, intricate, it has layers and there are many pieces to complete a functional, stable and secure product. Devs, you\u2019re in the spotlight. It\u2019s time to show the world how much faster we can further innovations when the people who design them are given what they need: Time, money, respect and lots of coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The shortage of coders means that good developers are a rare find.
