Product Engineering in Software Engineering: Latest Trends

Explore how Product Engineering in Software Engineering drives innovation with AI, cloud, low-code, and modern development trends.

Building digital products today requires more than just good code. As a result, companies are shifting to smarter product development methods. As businesses strive to meet rising customer expectations, they often seek help from a software product engineering services company.

These companies combine technology, design, and strategy to bring innovation faster and more reliably.

Therefore, let’s explore how product engineering in software engineering is evolving and what trends are shaping its future.

Why Product Engineering in Software Engineering Drives Modern Products

The idea behind product engineering in software engineering is to build digital products that solve real problems quickly and efficiently. Rather than creating products in silos, teams now work together using shared goals, fast feedback, and constant iteration.

Continuous Discovery

First of all, product teams no longer wait months to understand customer needs. Instead, they perform weekly research sprints to validate every new idea. These discoveries reduce rework and help create user-focused solutions from day one. Furthermore, continuous discovery aligns the product vision with real-time market shifts.

Secure by Design

In the past, security was a final step in the product life cycle. Now, developers integrate security scans into their daily coding process. This proactive approach prevents threats and saves time on future fixes. Additionally, building security from the start improves trust and reduces compliance risks………….

In Regards To Your 2024 Summary:

Holy shit it’s been another year????? The hell?????

Also! Your art style is gorgeous and that being found in 2023 and then refined throughout late 2023 and the entirety of 2024 really shows, as does your growth in panel layouts, perspective, and — as you said — experimentation. If you ever post your animation or video game art I’m looking forward to it.

As cheesy as it sounds, being able to laugh at funny comics and look at all the details of your art really made my 2024 brighter, even when things were hard. Including looking at your older art— it doesn’t need to be new to be enjoyable! I’m glad your art is well loved and it’s a privilege to have been here since the (near) beginning. I hope you take care of yourself in 2025 and beyond!

You and your art bring a lot of people a lot of joy never forget that <3

Thank you so much for keeping up with my art journey throughout these last two years! Two years!!! I am baffled at how that feels both too long and too short!

Admittedly, my art summary didn't manage to capture the fact that I did a lot of comic layouts that I'm really proud of. I also drew more backgrounds and made some very detailed works (*Dungeon Meshi spoilers for these examples*).

The growth is lot more evident when comparing my 'best' comics of 2023 to 2024:

Sometimes the growth is vertical, sometimes it is horizontal - and damn, sometimes it goes out of sight into the Z-plane. But it is always happening!

so does anyone else constantly get recommended garbage clickbait star trek articles on their homepage, or what

I think what’s really just utterly compelling and really kindof beautiful about the whole James Fitzjames DNA confirmation is just how beautiful this intersection between history and the artistic mirror that we hold up to it coming together to celebrate this discovery is in a way breathing some life and even peace back into this person.

Like… I feel like a lot of the time we as a culture when we hear about the discovery of new artifacts, remains, remnants of history in any form, we have enough distance to it to accept the mysteries that we will never be able to reconcile about them. Like digging up folks who perished in pompeii, we may never know who exactly they were, what kinds of people they were. Who they loved, what they loved doing will remain as intangible to us as what they looked like. And it becomes harder with so many of those pieces missing to look at those bones and have any sense of certainty who they really were.

But we DO know James Fitzjames. In SO many ways. We know him because there isn’t just copious historical documentation on his life, the things he wrote, the things he did in his life the ramifications on the people he loved when he was lost, but also this weird little show that inexplicably gives us both a window into the unimaginable circumstances that led to his death alongside that of over a hundred other men, but also a mirror through which so many of us have been able to empathize deeply with the weight of those circumstances.

In that way we do really know who he was. And now he’s not merely a single jaw in an unprecedented pile of bones anymore, he has an IDENTITY again. And it’s taken so long and so many generations but we FOUND him. We had a tangible historical grasp on him already and it feels so much more personal now that we know exactly where he died. To know a rough time frame in which he perished. To know that circumstantially he was probably one of the first consumed in what was easily one of the most dire survival situations of his century- perhaps even ours. It’s closure and peace and relief for an individual that is still so cared for even though there are centuries between the time when he died and us and the circumstances in which we live. And from this information there is STILL more we can piece together for so many of the other individuals who were with him.

And we have all of that, all because of something as simple as a DNA test. That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever fucking seen.

was talking with someone irl about Star Trek the other day and this person really hates Discovery for many stupid reasons (misogyny) and he was whining about like. casual swearing. in Star Trek. like he was mad they said fuck. and he looks at me and he's like "it completely sucks you out of the experience right??" and I just looked at him and went "no it makes me want a modern DS9 show of some kind cause I think Kira Nerys deserves to say fuck" which wasn't the answer he wanted I dont think

ive always wondered whether or not the brothers felt guilty for killing that vice captain (unless it was intentional). Ran seemed to have respect for the dead when Izana and (not really dead but you know) Kakucho died, so you would assume it would affect him. Kind of sad we never got to see more of their backstory

I like to imagine it was an accident and they just went "WHOOPS LMAOOOO 🤣" as they got arrested

Well there's no canon reaction to it so this is just my theory but I've always assumed they didn't purposely go out to kill the guy but they don't regret their actions either. Like they got a bit carried away (it sounds like the guy was still alive when he got to the hospital/ was in the ambulance). And I don't think they regret his death because they tried to do the same thing to Hakkai, even after Angry pointed out Hakkai was going to die, they didn't stop.

As for the whole Ran thing, I think it's just that he had respect for Izana and Kakucho, not for death. It does say in his character book that he respects Kakucho the most and it's clear from how he follows Izana that he also respects him too. Plus he didn't really have a reaction when South died. (Though tbf it was pretty dangerous at the time).

The very interesting way that sb94 writers are well aware that Kon is a child and still immature as he (as to be expected from people who are 16 but also 1 year old) is trying to make sense of the world around him but also like …. Puts him in these immensely fucked up and traumatizing positions with none of the concern that would normally follow such heavy storylines is what makes it an equally frustrating and compelling read. It hits like a gut punch every time you analyze its themes past surface level cape shit. It goes from “oh he’s so wacky” to “oh….they’re def exploiting him rn” within one page. It’s actually kinda horrifying.

It’s like when you’re watching home alone and Kevin’s mom is calling the police to go do a home check on her 8 year old son that she accidentally left in the house by himself and they’re like …. Lady. This is nothing to get hysterical over. You’re wasting our time. There’s no reason for us to do that shit lol he’ll be fine. And you’re just sitting there like oh wow, that’s… that’s not?????? And then that terrifying reality sets in that’s like oh yeah … not leaving young kids alone at home only stopped being socially acceptable VERY recently. And then you have to spend the movie watching this little boy be endearing and charming cuz he’s smart and capable enough to get himself out of these sticky situations but he literally should not have to be. He should not be in this situation at all, actually.

That’s how it feels reading Superboy 94 sometimes. What do you mean you don’t have a birth certificate?????????? WHAT DO YOU MEAN “CUTE IN A JAILBAIT KIND OF WAY”????

Star Trek Imponderables, a trilogy of YouTube shorts I made years ago to teach myself video editing and to poke fun at the hot mess that is my favourite franchise🖖

No I'm not making any more, with the changes made since 2017 any new video would run for hours and hours

[snapescloaca]

hey if anyone could find me sirius black art where he doesn't look like a woman and where the artist doesn't ship him with either severus snape (bad) or his teenage godson (infinitely worse) that would be great thanks

Veilguard as a sequel is deeply frustrating to me bc so much of Inquisition (and to differing extents DA:O/DA2 as well) is about uncovering the truth at the heart of history's myths/lies at the heart of the institutions that make society run and Veilguard as a game seems disinterested in engaging w/ them.

Cassandra's personal quest uncovering that the secret of Tranquility having a cure has been known by the Order for centuries, Ameridan being a Dalish elf of dual faiths, the truth behind what happened at Red Crossing, that Elvhenan was an empire that did what empires do best, that Valta was kicked from Orzammar for being honest about the King's connection with the Carta, the reveal of the Titans themselves being a discover of buried history at long last come to light.

And to go further back, discovering things like the Ashes, or the truth of the werewolves in the Brecilian Forest, or the truth of Orzammar's golems. Finding and grappling with the truth of ugly history and healing and moving forward. Sometimes with sacrifice.

Only for Veilguard to offer the same solutions that we saw in past games were band-aids, slapped over the wounds of the past. We find out elves were spirits, that the evanuris made and harnessed the Blight, that the Titans were made Tranquil at the hands of the gods, and... let's just keep it with people we trust, guys.

Because keeping the secret of Tranquility worked well for the Seekers, and wasn't the final straw on the camel's back for the mage rebellion. Because people might think elves are demons* and the world doesn't need any more reasons to treat elves poorly. Because the dwarves don't deserve to learn about their own history, except in a short cutscene at the end of Harding's quest that only seems to serve the purpose of them being able to move on as quickly as possible.

For a game that reveals so much about the world's past it seems fundamentally disinterested in engaging in it on any satisfying level. Even on a personal level in Bellara and Harding's quests it falls so flat. It seems mostly interested in shoving the past back in a closet so we can continue on as normal in case there's a DA5.

*I wonder if there's some physical barrier between us and the world of spirits that might make those assumptions easier to have? Eh. Probably not important. Definitely not worth asking questions about.

I always think it's funny when people into learning about true crime/conspiracies go into detail about how they're "mostly into the PSYCHOLOGY behind it!" thats great. I'm just really fucking nosy

[loudfederationscreeching]

will never not be a little peeved that adira's first two episodes feature endless misgendering. i get that they hadnt specified pronouns yet, and kind of maybe didnt know themself yet?, but considering the level of promo given to discovery's new non-binary character, to have to spend that much time meeting a new character and hearing 'she/her' that much was and is pretty frustrating. like we as the audience knew before any of the characters did

that said, i do find the layered metaphor that their joining with the tal symbiont is called 'an aberration' because adira is human, added with the beginning of the arc with gray, to be pretty damn compelling still. that mix of being othered but also hope is pretty well done imo! discovery is constantly trying so hard wrt telling queer stories, usually failing a tad, but also then bringing it back in, and i do respect that pretty solidly. TWO instances of unbury your gays is pretty unhinged to pull off and yet!!
