Remember the game that was created with the Elm language during Zalando’s Hack Week #4? We’ve been working on it via open source and it’s had a lot of improvements since then. Our goal remains the same — to put the game on the 404 page of the Zalando website, and at its current state, we’re as close as ever to reaching it. In this post we will go through the game’s progress in detail.

Yesterday it was Girls’ Day in Germany: A Federal Government initiative that encourages technology companies, universities, and research centres to organise an open day for girls to positively influence their vocational choices. It’s a way to get girls in touch with careers in IT, trades, science, and technology, as well as meet female role models in leadership positions.

Before I became a developer, I graduated college as a math and science teacher. Teaching is something I fundamentally believe in and think anyone can do, no matter their skill level. When I first arrived at Zalando, I joined a team that had recently decided to use React. However, few had concrete knowledge about the framework. My team decided to join three other interested teams and attend a React workshop every two weeks.

The Zalando Web Guild is a group of like-minded frontend engineers who meet bi-weekly to discuss new technologies, share knowledge, and collaborate on diverse projects. With so many independent teams and engineers from different backgrounds, we felt that there was too little communication between them, so that teams often solved similar problems instead of sharing code and knowledge.

If you’re in Dublin this week, then you’re in for a treat when it comes to Zalando events. Tomorrow, we’re hosting an evening of interesting discussion, with the chance to catch up and share ideas with some of the companies innovating in this space. We'll be posing the question: “What is Tech Culture?”. We want to know how tech organisations foster a 'culture' to support technical innovation and team engagement.

The Zalando Testing Team creates tools that improve code quality for development teams. One way to improve code quality is to write tests – and we do write a lot of tests! But are these tests good at catching bugs? If code is refactored and the test suite is still green, can we be confident that we didn’t break anything? This post introduces a new tool that verifies whether or not tests are actually able to find errors in the code.

There are common questions which come up repeatedly in Java. Even if you know the answer, it's worth getting a more thorough understanding of what is happening in these cases. How do I compare Strings? The more general question is, how do I compare the contents of an Object? What is surprising when you use Java for the first time is that if you have a variable like String which is a reference to an Object, not the Object itself.

Let’s face it; the Hadoop Interview process is a tough cookie to crumble. Candidates have to bring their best to the table, as they get only one chance to get it right and impress the interviewer. If you are planning to pursue a job in the big data domain as a Hadoop developer , you should be prepared for both open-ended interview questions and unique technical hadoop interview questions asked by the hiring managers at top tech firms.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

In my first post about GitHub Enterprise backup , I outlined why the open source ghe-backup project was started: To provide GitHub Enterprise Backups based on AWS with the STUPS platform. The following post will focus on the Continuous Delivery of ghe-backup instances on AWS. Why do we care about Continuous Delivery of ghe-backups? Well, there are regular changes in Taupage and ghe-backups have to run an up-to-date version of Taupage.

Scala developers have lots of options when it comes to doing Dependency Injection (or DI). The usual Java libraries can be used, like Spring , or Guice for Play developers. But Scala being Scala, there are other options. You can use libraries leveraging macros, like MacWire , or use the Scala type system and the infamous “Cake pattern” and its many variations using traits, with or without self-types.
