FROM BRITTLE CODE TO BLOOMING SYSTEMS
My name is Shai Yallin
SOFTWARE GARDNER
I help startups cultivate a flexible mindset in order to reduce cost of change and rigidity and build changeable software.
As a founding member of the Wix Engineering organization and VP of Engineering at Orbs.com, I hired and led dozens of software engineers and engineering leads. I've planted the seeds for thriving teams and scalable systems and helped lead many software companies towards a more flexible and sustainable future.
YOUR SOFTWARE IS
LIKE A GARDEN
TO FLOURISH, YOU NEED TO:
OR
Remember that scrappy MVP that catapulted your startup to success? Fast forward – it's morphed into a tangled system that punishes you on every move.
RIGIDITY
IS HURTING YOUR BUSINESS IN MANY ASPECTS
Missed deadlines & lost revenue
Every day spent fighting fires is a day you're not making progress. Rigidity cripples adaptability to changing markets and customer needs.
Decreased morale and high turnover
Who wants to spend their days untangling mess? Rigidity demotivates your team, leading to burnout and exodus of top talent.
Innovation asphyxiation
Rigidity stifles creativity, leaving you trapped in a cycle of outdated solutions and irrelevancy.
Technical debt piling up
Every quick fix and workaround is a brick in the wall of ever-accumulating technical debt.
FLEXIBILITY
IS THE ONLY WAY TO
BUILD FOR THE FUTURE
Freedom from Gridlock
Ditch the fire hose, focus on innovation! Deal with actually makings a difference instead of combatting daily issues.
Inspired Innovation
Unlock creativity and innovation by fostering a culture of serenity that encourages experimentation and growth.
Streamlined Progress
Stop firefighting and say hello to steady progress as you adapt to changing market demands.
Manage Technical Debt
Stop using quick fixes that generate technical debt and build a fluid foundation for future growth.
