At the beginning of millennium IT field wasn't as popular as it is in our time. Majority of population didn't have their own computers and being familiar with technologies used to be considered as something special. At that time individuals who work in IT had wide theory knowledge and most of them studied computer science in university. Required skills weren't so specific. Companies had a demand to make their system work and hire those who can provide such service. Due to lack of powerful machines and technologies itself systems were quite unreliable and it was a common thing to have unpredictable failures. People didn't believe in anything that's not written on paper. 

Since 2006 internet became a useful tool for programmers and the rest of IT world. Many tech communities were formed and it has been provided communication inside the field. Companies could better analyze the market and requirements for employees were set up in more specific way. 

Starting from 2010 depiction of IT specialist represented a person with experience that familiar with theory and at least some trends in tech. Still coders and system administrators were expected to be nerds and nobody expected them to be good in communication skills. 

The IT world renewed its police in about 2015 when all that comes to technologies turned into cool thing to do and internet was filled with different tech schools and advertisement related to having a job growing field. While all services have started transition in online form, competition was increasing even faster. In consequence we can see changes on market and higher number of people for a place. 

In 2018 it's no longer a case to have some experience and being able to create a website. Enterprises hire looking on github portfolio rather than empty words in CV.

The hacker ethic of early days focused specifically on their interests and there were no such needs as communicative skills. The main ideology was "all information should be free" and I strongly disagree with this statement. Non-profit everything stops the progress and leaves no motivation to support "boring" software. In 90's next generation of the culture has started acknowledging a demand for well-supported communication in hackers groups. It led to more healthy relationships and lifestyle within the culture. Eric S. Raymond put attention to necessity of skills which set development as...

Bad Ergonomics vs. Good Ergonomics

Looking at contrast between bad and good design is useful for designers. Following common practices is not always a cure to avoid unfriendly interface. Let’s look on the example of trendy practice and how to prevent inappropriate usage. Bad Example of Animation While interactive style is an ultimate tool for making web page more appealing it’s also can become noticeable and annoying. When it comes to creating nice pop up window, first priority should be its functionality. Greatest example of over stepping the bounds is Vladyslav Tyzun’s animation concept for a PayPal email receipt, published on Dribbble. It looks tidy and minimalistic. As for a designer it just feels good to enjoy the animation. This solution is, however, superfluous. To get all transaction information user needs to wait 3.5 seconds. Alternative solution could be some simple drop-down receipt. Good Example of Animation Animated solution can be great-looking with elaborate approach Let’s consider Stripe ...
