Training a neural network for fun and profit

This article discusses our venture into training a neural network for an engaging project. Our journey involved researching neural networks, utilizing Python and TensorFlow, and exploring Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). We explored alternative network architectures like SRGAN and Progressive Growing GAN for higher-quality image generation.

The article also mentions useful links and articles about GANs and neural networks we explored while implementing this project.

How we estimate tasks in Story Points

Excited to share the article which breaks down the fundamentals of what story points are and provides a step-by-step guide on how to use them to estimate tasks in software development teams. Unlike traditional time-based estimates, story points consider various factors such as the complexity of the task, the amount of work needed, and the level of uncertainty or risk. It's a way to estimate how big and challenging a task is, rather than just how long it will take. Read the complete article, live on our blog https://datarockets.com/blog/code/estimate-story-points/

Feedback and Tips for Junior developers

How to ask the right questions, review code, and deal with problems? Tips from this post will help junior developers grow in the right direction.

Quality feedback is an essential part of professional growth and we love sharing it not only within our team but also with candidates who get interviewed. In this article, we collected some tips from the real feedback given by our CTO Dima and Lead developer Andrew to junior developers. But we also believe that these thoughts can be a good checklist for more experienced developers.
