Most software teams are split up by technical layers—backend, frontend, and mobile. This seems logical, but it often creates bottlenecks, delays, and frustration. Mission teams flip the script: cross-functional developers own features end to end, from idea to release. This approach speeds up delivery, builds real ownership, and cuts down on endless handoffs. Too perfect to be true? It demands more upfront effort in communication and shared knowledge, but the payoff is worth it.

I recently made observations on my limitations due to my ‘develper dependencies’. Anything outside my comfort zone feels bad, and I don’t like that. My plan is to create a developers survival kit and stick to it. Reducing dependencies and distractions, focusing on craft.

I went to a meetup in my city last week and a guy I just met there popped a question after a while of conversation: with my experience, would I go for mobile software development again or pick a different area?
