Not only a Java house

Codeborne, 07 Jan 2021

If you meet IT folks out there, very likely the general perception about Codeborne is “a Java house”. Is it true?

I love learning new programming languages

Mikk, 30 Jul 2020

There is an opening at Codeborne. For experienced software developers who wish to continuously become better in their craft. For those who would like to work intensively in a pair programming setting, learn continuously new technologies, and write really clean and good code. To give them a bit better idea what it is like to work at Codeborne, we asked a few of our colleagues what they think.

This is the interview with Mira. She is originally from Ukraine but has been making waves in Estonian tech field for a decade already. Before joining Codeborne a year and a half ago she developed for Fortumo and several other companies. During her time at Codeborne she has worked on projects for a Japanese energy company, a very successful Estonian start-up, and a Russian bank.

Technical excellence is my self-actualization

Mikk, 29 Jul 2020

It is a rare moment. Codeborne is actively looking for experienced software developers who would like to create high-quality software to help our clients. The work environment in Codeborne is unique so we have asked some of our senior developers to tell what it is like to work at Codeborne.

Andrei has been at Codeborne from the beginning. In more than 10 years he has worked on 15 projects. Andrei has also been leading the development of Selenide - a widely used open-source framework for concise UI tests in Java. He also presents at conferences around the world.

Pair programming brings the joy of flow

Mikk, 28 Jul 2020

Codeborne is on the lookout for a few exceptional experienced programmers to join the team. To give you an idea of how unique it is to work at Codeborne, we interviewed a couple of our senior developers.

Jaan has worked at Codeborne for 9 years. He has worked on more than 15 projects with clients from Estonia and abroad. Unexpectedly, Jaan has also learned to understand Russian while working extensively with one of our Russian clients.

Pair programming during quarantine

Tiit, Jaan, 11 May 2020

Pair programming is a strong part of our DNA. 10 years in the business as Codeborne has proved it works and works well. And then the COVID-19 locked us all in our homes. What next? Easy, we continue the same way, programming in pairs. How is that happening?

Kuidas me Eesti oma Amazoni tegime

Tiit, Erkki, 01 Nov 2019

E-kaubandus on teema, millest me oma blogis siiani kirjutanud pole. Ometi oleme nüüdseks juba aastaid ses valdkonnas millegi erilisega tegelenud. Unikaalne lahendus teeb oma mitmekülgsusega silmad ette vaat et ka Amazonile endale 😉

How we crafted a loan e-service with a powerful decision engine

Tiit, Erik, 06 May 2019

In early 2018 Coop Pank, a newcomer in the Estonian banking market was looking for partners to build a new loan system. The old system was not fulfilling all their needs. We thought - we know banking and we are ready for new challenges. We got the mandate to build it.

Kust tuleb pilt telekasse?

07 Sep 2018

Rätsepatööna tehtud tarkvara pole vaid suurtele

Codeborne, 08 May 2018

Meie juurde tuli Eesti start-up ettevõte, kel oli idee, mis peaks kõige eelduste kohaselt lendama: Eelarve koostamine ei pea olema raketiteadus. Eelarvestamist tajutakse aja- ja töömahuka protsessina, aga seda on võimalik inimlikumaks ja mugavamaks muuta.

Working with numbers can be easy

Codeborne, 03 May 2017

Estonia is only 45,339 km2 with 1,32 million people living here and on average 28 people/km2. Comparing with Germany for example where 227 people must share their space on one sq. km, we think we have quite enough room. But You know what – we still have over 200 local municipalities organizing our local life and resources.

Smart business decisions from smart meters

Tiit, Toomas, Tarmo, 16 Dec 2014

Estonia is currently half-way through a project replacing all 700 000 electricity meters with smart meters. For end consumers it obviously means no more trouble reporting readings in the end of the month. But the actual goal is to free network operator from the meter read collection hassle and build low-voltage network heartbeat monitoring. We at Codeborne are heavily involved in developing systems like that.

Kuhu kulub elekter?

Aivar, Tiit, Jarmo, 29 Sep 2014

Kuhu kulub elekter? Hea küsimus, millele ei osata enamasti kohe vastata. Heal juhul on teada, kui suured on igakuised arved, paraku sellega asi tihti ka piirdub. Eesti Energia iseteeninduse ja Elioni kodujuhtimise arendustöödega tegelemine tekitas meis endis ühel hetkel huvi, kuhu me elekter kulub. Samuti motiveeris küsimus, kas tulevikus oleks võimalik targemalt tarbides ja börsihinnaga elektrit ostes raha kokku hoida.

Kuidas Tarkvarakooli tiim Tartu Maratoni uue veebilahendusega karastus

Tiit, 01 Jul 2014

Meie üsnagi spordiembene kollektiiv oli juba 2012 sügisel Tartu Maratoni (TM) meeskonnaga erinevate sündmuste koosmõjul kokku saanud ja lasknud mõtetel lennata, milline võiks olla üks kaasaegne spordiürituse lehekülg, seda just lõppkasutaja vaates. 2013 talvel oli algne idee olemas, mis tookord külmutati, kuna puudus finantseerimine.

Enam ei jää ükski jalgpalli finaalmäng vaatamata

Aivar, 02 Jun 2014

Oeh, täna on ju jalka finaal ja ma ei saagi seda vaadata, sest pean olema ….” - oled tabanud end selliselt mõttelt?

Me komistasime Codeborne'is selle probleemi otsa 2010 aasta suvel, kui olime planeerinud suvepäevad täpselt jalgpalli MM’i finaalmängu päevale. Mure oli tõsine, sest suvepäevi ära jätta ei tahtnud, muule päevale üle viia oli keeruline, aga jalgpalli taheti ka näha. Tehnoloogiafriikidel, nagu me enamuses oleme, tuli kohe hulgaliselt häid mõtteid.

Kuidas Starmani digiboksi pult mobiili kolis

Aivar, 08 May 2014

Starman oli otsimas telekomivaldkonna väga pingelisest ja kiiresti muutuvast turuolukorrast tingituna arenduspartnerit, kes oleks koos nendega valmis kiirelt arenduste suunda muutma, kui selleks peaks vajadus tekkima. Time to market polnud nende jaoks pelgalt termin õpikust, vaid igapäevane fraas. Õnneks meile ka.

Sarnaselt teistele uutele projektidele, pakkusime kliendile kõigepealt võimaluse suhteliselt riskivabalt meiega koostööd proovida. Leppisime kokku, et teeme Androidiga telefonidele prototüübi, millega saaks mobiili STARbox-iga siduda, saateid salvestama panna, meeldetuletusi lisada ning saatekava lehitseda.
