Hey RBS.. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Do you think Globalfever fansite is being managed directly by someone from GG/DD’s team. Many a times I wonder how that site able to get tickets to all of our boys events and capture such close up candid shots of GGDD unless she is part of their inner circle?

Example today - https://weibo.com/7320958826/OydEkDN0w

not sure if it’s original or edited.. from that video it looks like XZ acknowledged her words of Jiayou and bye bye

Hi Natashayishan, thanks! I hope you're well, and that you have a wonderful week too! 😊

Here's the video for those who don't have access to Weibo.

To answer this question I'm going to start by explaining a bit of background about fansites and how they function (I'm by no means an expert, but here's my understanding of how it all works).

Part 1 - Fansites in General

There has been a lot of talk about fansites over the years, and some have faced accusations, criticisms, confusion, suspicions, theories both positive and negative for a very long time. I think they're largely misunderstood by a lot of fans.

For example, it's not uncommon for people to believe fansites are stalkers, or that they shamelessly profit from the unauthorized use of a star's image or footage, or that they're organizations that exist for the purpose of exploiting stars.

This isn't really how it works at all. In general, a fansite is just one fan who follows a star's career and enjoys sharing photos and videos they take of that star. Plain and simple. Some fansites involve more than one person, but most are just made up of individuals.

Yes, they sometimes make money selling photo books and other merch, but that money tends to go back into supporting the star -buying endorsement products, arranging events and giveaways, buying or upgrading equipment needed to create fansite content (cameras, computer equipment, software), paying for tickets (many of which are overpriced reseller tickets) and travel/accommodations to attend events, etc.

It might seem glamorous - and there's undeniably a glamorous aspect to it - but to me it looks very stressful, like a huge headache. These fans generally have their own lives and careers outside of fandom, so coordinating everything, waiting in lines, standing in the rain outside appearances and events, not to mention the pressure to attend events and post regular updates, and all the haters and antis they are constantly dealing with, the amount of stress and frustration they deal with must be immense.

It's a lot of work, and for this reason, fansites don't always stay fansites. Some retire as their real life interests and obligations shift. One of my favorite GGDD fansites - Midnight Dream - retired a few years ago. 😢

Fansites are an important part of any celebrity's support system. While no - they aren't part of a celebrity's team or on their payroll, they do play a huge part in helping to bring attention to a star and build buzz around them, their projects, their appearances, events and other activities.

If you want an analogy that might help it make more sense to you, just look at some of the sports fans across the globe who will follow all the matches, follow team developments, team picks, managers and training, and share all that info on blogs, podcasts or dedicated sports fan sites.

This is very similar. They're just really dedicated fans who build a following by being where we can't be, and sharing their experiences so that we can feel like we were there, too.

And they provide the fans and the stars an immense, immeasurable service IMHO, despite what we might agree or disagree with about the way fandom culture works. The content they capture and share is almost always far more intimate (generally without being invasive), and of a far higher quality than that of the professionals hired to cover these events on behalf of media agencies and management.

Fansites do get some official support from time to time. For example, there are events where fansites can get approval - almost like a press pass or a security pass - to attend and be in certain locations within or near facilities to take photographs, video, etc., but they are not hired or compensated by the star or their team.

A lot of it is also largely unknown/unknowable, so it's hard to be sure of the details. There are always going to be rumors and claims. For example, there have been claims that during SDOC Yibo was allowed to invite 4 fansites to come to the finale, and of the 4, he chose 3 BXG fansites and only one solo site. I haven't seen proof of that, but the claim was making the rounds a lot at the time.

One thing we do know - he chose a fansite photo to give to Yangkai when he was courting him to join his team in season 4. (Of course, solos made a huge stink and Youku ended up editing the footage to remove the photo, but we saw what we saw).

There are other examples of GG and DD interacting with or showing acceptance of their BXG fansites. I started looking for some references and then realized it was not something I have time for or interest in. I'm not here to give a comprehensive analysis anyway, I'm just here to give a simple-ish answer to your question. If others want to discuss that in the notes, that's fine.

So, hopefully some of that background info will have answered parts of your question, and gives you more tools to evaluate things on your own moving forward.

Part 2 - Global Fever

As for Global Fever specifically, well... Global Fever is one of the most treasured BXG in the entire fandom. This dedicated fan has been following GG and DD BOTH, since they debuted. She is more than just a CP fan, she's been a supporter of their individual careers since day 1.

Yes, since back when Yibo was still the White Peony.

She became a CP fan in the natural way - by seeing her faves work together on The Untamed, by watching them interact and by following them and their careers. No, she doesn't work for their teams (they both have dedicated teams of their own, and they don't need to pay fansites who - after all - will do this stuff for free). It's just that she's recognizable to GG and DD because she's been a fixture in their lives for so many years.

And this is something solos need to get their heads around: BXG are fans too. I think there's this conceit among solos that THEY'RE GG and DD's fans and BXG are something else, but in reality (and, no doubt, in the eyes of GG and DD) BXG are their fans too.

Never could that be more apparent than when a dedicated fan like Global Fever jiejie is calling 'Zhanzhan, jiayou!' and 'byebye!' as he's boarding an elevator on the way to the stage. Of course GG recognized her and smiled at her. Of course.

[mariacallous]

On a 5K screen in Kirkland, Washington, four terminals blur with activity as artificial intelligence generates thousands of lines of code. Steve Yegge, a veteran software engineer who previously worked at Google and AWS, sits back to watch.

“This one is running some tests, that one is coming up with a plan. I am now coding on four different projects at once, although really I’m just burning tokens,” Yegge says, referring to the cost of generating chunks of text with a large language model (LLM).

Learning to code has long been seen as the ticket to a lucrative, secure career in tech. Now, the release of advanced coding models from firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google threatens to upend that notion entirely. X and Bluesky are brimming with talk of companies downsizing their developer teams—or even eliminating them altogether.

When ChatGPT debuted in late 2022, AI models were capable of autocompleting small portions of code—a helpful, if modest step forward that served to speed up software development. As models advanced and gained “agentic” skills that allow them to use software programs, manipulate files, and access online services, engineers and non-engineers alike started using the tools to build entire apps and websites. Andrej Karpathy, a prominent AI researcher, coined the term “vibe coding” in February, to describe the process of developing software by prompting an AI model with text.

The rapid progress has led to speculation—and even panic—among developers, who fear that most development work could soon be automated away, in what would amount to a job apocalypse for engineers.

“We are not far from a world—I think we’ll be there in three to six months—where AI is writing 90 percent of the code,” Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said at a Council on Foreign Relations event in March. “And then in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code,” he added.

But many experts warn that even the best models have a way to go before they can reliably automate a lot of coding work. While future advancements might unleash AI that can code just as well as a human, until then relying too much on AI could result in a glut of buggy and hackable code, as well as a shortage of developers with the knowledge and skills needed to write good software.

David Autor, an economist at MIT who studies how AI affects employment, says it’s possible that software development work will be automated—similar to how transcription and translation jobs are quickly being replaced by AI. He notes, however, that advanced software engineering is much more complex and will be harder to automate than routine coding.

Autor adds that the picture may be complicated by the “elasticity” of demand for software engineering—the extent to which the market might accommodate additional engineering jobs.

“If demand for software were like demand for colonoscopies, no improvement in speed or reduction in costs would create a mad rush for the proctologist's office,” Autor says. “But if demand for software is like demand for taxi services, then we may see an Uber effect on coding: more people writing more code at lower prices, and lower wages.”

Yegge’s experience shows that perspectives are evolving. A prolific blogger as well as coder, Yegge was previously doubtful that AI would help produce much code. Today, he has been vibe-pilled, writing a book called Vibe Coding with another experienced developer, Gene Kim, that lays out the potential and the pitfalls of the approach. Yegge became convinced that AI would revolutionize software development last December, and he has led a push to develop AI coding tools at his company, Sourcegraph.

“This is how all programming will be conducted by the end of this year,” Yegge predicts. “And if you're not doing it, you're just walking in a race.”

The Vibe-Coding Divide

Today, coding message boards are full of examples of mobile apps, commercial websites, and even multiplayer games all apparently vibe-coded into being. Experienced coders, like Yegge, can give AI tools instructions and then watch AI bring complex ideas to life.

Several AI-coding startups, including Cursor and Windsurf have ridden a wave of interest in the approach. (OpenAI is widely rumored to be in talks to acquire Windsurf).

At the same time, the obvious limitations of generative AI, including the way models confabulate and become confused, has led many seasoned programmers to see AI-assisted coding—and especially gung-ho, no-hands vibe coding—as a potentially dangerous new fad.

Martin Casado, a computer scientist and general partner at Andreessen Horowitz who sits on the board of Cursor, says the idea that AI will replace human coders is overstated. “AI is great at doing dazzling things, but not good at doing specific things,” he said.

Still, Casado has been stunned by the pace of recent progress. “I had no idea it would get this good this quick,” he says. “This is the most dramatic shift in the art of computer science since assembly was supplanted by higher-level languages.”

Ken Thompson, vice president of engineering at Anaconda, a company that provides open source code for software development, says AI adoption tends to follow a generational divide, with younger developers diving in and older ones showing more caution. For all the hype, he says many developers still do not trust AI tools because their output is unpredictable, and will vary from one day to the next, even when given the same prompt. “The nondeterministic nature of AI is too risky, too dangerous,” he explains.

Both Casado and Thompson see the vibe-coding shift as less about replacement than abstraction, mimicking the way that new languages like Python build on top of lower-level languages like C, making it easier and faster to write code. New languages have typically broadened the appeal of programming and increased the number of practitioners. AI could similarly increase the number of people capable of producing working code.

Bad Vibes

Paradoxically, the vibe-coding boom suggests that a solid grasp of coding remains as important as ever. Those dabbling in the field often report running into problems, including introducing unforeseen security issues, creating features that only simulate real functionality, accidentally running up high bills using AI tools, and ending up with broken code and no idea how to fix it.

“AI [tools] will do everything for you—including fuck up,” Yegge says. “You need to watch them carefully, like toddlers.”

The fact that AI can produce results that range from remarkably impressive to shockingly problematic may explain why developers seem so divided about the technology. WIRED surveyed programmers in March to ask how they felt about AI coding, and found that the proportion who were enthusiastic about AI tools (36 percent) was mirrored by the portion who felt skeptical (38 percent).

“Undoubtedly AI will change the way code is produced,” says Daniel Jackson, a computer scientist at MIT who is currently exploring how to integrate AI into large-scale software development. “But it wouldn't surprise me if we were in for disappointment—that the hype will pass.”

Jackson cautions that AI models are fundamentally different from the compilers that turn code written in a high-level language into a lower-level language that is more efficient for machines to use, because they don’t always follow instructions. Sometimes an AI model may take an instruction and execute better than the developer—other times it might do the task much worse.

Jackson adds that vibe coding falls down when anyone is building serious software. “There are almost no applications in which ‘mostly works’ is good enough,” he says. “As soon as you care about a piece of software, you care that it works right.”

Many software projects are complex, and changes to one section of code can cause problems elsewhere in the system. Experienced programmers are good at understanding the bigger picture, Jackson says, but “large language models can't reason their way around those kinds of dependencies.”

Jackson believes that software development might evolve with more modular codebases and fewer dependencies to accommodate AI blind spots. He expects that AI may replace some developers but will also force many more to rethink their approach and focus more on project design.

Too much reliance on AI may be “a bit of an impending disaster,” Jackson adds, because “not only will we have masses of broken code, full of security vulnerabilities, but we'll have a new generation of programmers incapable of dealing with those vulnerabilities.”

Learn to Code

Even firms that have already integrated coding tools into their software development process say the technology remains far too unreliable for wider use.

Christine Yen, CEO at Honeycomb, a company that provides technology for monitoring the performance of large software systems, says that projects that are simple or formulaic, like building component libraries, are more amenable to using AI. Even so, she says the developers at her company who use AI in their work have only increased their productivity by about 50 percent.

Yen adds that for anything requiring good judgement, where performance is important, or where the resulting code touches sensitive systems or data, “AI just frankly isn't good enough yet to be additive.”

“The hard part about building software systems isn't just writing a lot of code,” she says. “Engineers are still going to be necessary, at least today, for owning that curation, judgment, guidance and direction.”

Others suggest that a shift in the workforce is coming. “We are not seeing less demand for developers,” says Liad Elidan, CEO of Milestone, a company that helps firms measure the impact of generative AI projects. “We are seeing less demand for average or low-performing developers.”

“If I'm building a product, I could have needed 50 engineers and now maybe I only need 20 or 30,” says Naveen Rao, VP of AI at Databricks, a company that helps large businesses build their own AI systems. “That is absolutely real.”

Rao says, however, that learning to code should remain a valuable skill for some time. “It’s like saying ‘Don't teach your kid to learn math,’” he says. Understanding how to get the most out of computers is likely to remain extremely valuable, he adds.

Yegge and Kim, the veteran coders, believe that most developers can adapt to the coming wave. In their book on vibe coding, the pair recommend new strategies for software development including modular code bases, constant testing, and plenty of experimentation. Yegge says that using AI to write software is evolving into its own—slightly risky—art form. “It’s about how to do this without destroying your hard disk and draining your bank account,” he says.

[cyberstudious]

Hey! This is very random, but I saw that you work in cyber security right now. I work in data science, but I'm really interested in cyber security and considering making a switch. I was wondering what kind of cybersecurity work you do, and what has been the most helpful for you to learn what you need for your job!

Hi! Cybersecurity is a really broad field, and you can do a lot of different things depending on what your interests are.

My work is mostly focused around automating things for security, since my background is in programming. Automation is really helpful for speeding up boring, monotonous tasks that need to get done, but don't necessarily need a human involved. A good example is automated phishing analysis, since phishing reports are a big chunk of the cases that security analysts have to deal with, and an analyst usually follows the same few steps at the beginning. Rather than someone having to manually check the reputation of the sender domain, check the reputation of any links, and all of that every single time, we can build tools to automatically scan for things like that and then present the info to the analyst. The whole idea here is to automate the boring data retrieval stuff, since computers are good at that, and give the analyst more time for decision-making and analysis, since humans are good at that.

If you're coming from data science, you might be interested in detection engineering. Cybersecurity is essentially a data problem - we have a ton of logs from a ton of different sources (internal logs, threat intelligence feeds, etc.) - how do we sort through that data to highlight things that we want to pay attention to, and how can we correlate events from different sources? If you're into software development or want to stay more on the data science side, maybe you could also look into roles for software development at companies that have SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) products - these are essentially the big log repositories that organizations rely on for correlation and alerting.

As for starting to learn security, my general go-to recommendation is to start looking through the material for the Security+ certification. For better or worse, certifications are pretty big in security, much more so than other tech fields (to my knowledge). I'm a bit more hesitant to recommend the Security+ now, since CompTIA (the company that offers it) was bought by a private equity company last year. Everyone is kind of expecting the prices to go up and the quality to go down. (The Security+ exam costs $404 USD as of writing this, and I think I took mine for like $135ish with a student discount in 2022). However, the Security+ is still the most well-known and comprehensive entry-level certification that I'm aware of. You can (and should) study for it completely for free - check out Professor Messer's training videos on YouTube. There are also plenty of books out there if that's more of your thing. I'd say to treat the Security+ as a way to get a broad overview of security and figure out what you don't know. (It's certainly not a magic ticket to a job, no matter what those expensive bootcamps will tell you.)

If you aren't familiar with networking, it's worth checking out Professor Messer's Network+ training videos as well. You don't need to know everything on there, but having an understanding of ports, protocols, and network components and design is super useful. I hear a lot that the best security folks are often the ones who come from IT or networking or similar and have a really solid understanding of the fundamentals and then get into security. Don't neglect the basics!

One thing that I'll also add, based on conversations I've had with folks in my network… getting a job in cybersecurity is harder now than it used to be, at least in the US (where I am). There are a ton of very well-qualified people who have been laid off who are now competing with people trying to get into the field in the first place, and with the wrecking ball that Elon is taking to the federal government (and by extension, government contractors) right now… it's hard. There's still a need for skilled folks in cyber, but you're going to run into a lot of those "5 years of experience required for this entry-level job" kind of job postings.

On a slightly happier note, another thing you should do if you want to get into cyber is to stay up to date with what's happening in the industry! I have a masterpost that has a section with some of my favorite news sources. The SANS Stormcast is a good place to start - it's a 5 minute podcast every weekday morning that covers most of the big things. Black Hills Infosec also does a weekly news livestream on YouTube that's similar (but longer and with more banter). Also, a lot of infosec folks hang out on Mastodon & in the wider fediverse. Let me know if you want some recs for folks to follow over there.

The nice thing about cybersecurity (and computer-related fields in general, I find) is that there are a ton of free resources out there to help you learn. Sometimes it's harder to find the higher-quality ones, but let me know if there are any topics you're interested in & I'll see what I can find. I have a few posts in my cybersecurity tag on here that might help.

Thank you for your patience, I know you sent this in over a week ago lol but life has been busy. Feel free to send any follow-up questions if you have any!

Integrating Third-Party Tools into Your CRM System: Best Practices

A modern CRM is rarely a standalone tool — it works best when integrated with your business's key platforms like email services, accounting software, marketing tools, and more. But improper integration can lead to data errors, system lags, and security risks.

Here are the best practices developers should follow when integrating third-party tools into CRM systems:

1. Define Clear Integration Objectives

Identify business goals for each integration (e.g., marketing automation, lead capture, billing sync)

Choose tools that align with your CRM’s data model and workflows

Avoid unnecessary integrations that create maintenance overhead

2. Use APIs Wherever Possible

Rely on RESTful or GraphQL APIs for secure, scalable communication

Avoid direct database-level integrations that break during updates

Choose platforms with well-documented and stable APIs

Custom CRM solutions can be built with flexible API gateways

3. Data Mapping and Standardization

Map data fields between systems to prevent mismatches

Use a unified format for customer records, tags, timestamps, and IDs

Normalize values like currencies, time zones, and languages

Maintain a consistent data schema across all tools

4. Authentication and Security

Use OAuth2.0 or token-based authentication for third-party access

Set role-based permissions for which apps access which CRM modules

Monitor access logs for unauthorized activity

Encrypt data during transfer and storage

5. Error Handling and Logging

Create retry logic for API failures and rate limits

Set up alert systems for integration breakdowns

Maintain detailed logs for debugging sync issues

Keep version control of integration scripts and middleware

6. Real-Time vs Batch Syncing

Use real-time sync for critical customer events (e.g., purchases, support tickets)

Use batch syncing for bulk data like marketing lists or invoices

Balance sync frequency to optimize server load

Choose integration frequency based on business impact

7. Scalability and Maintenance

Build integrations as microservices or middleware, not monolithic code

Use message queues (like Kafka or RabbitMQ) for heavy data flow

Design integrations that can evolve with CRM upgrades

Partner with CRM developers for long-term integration strategy

CRM integration experts can future-proof your ecosystem

Quote of the Week

My take on this is that you cannot use async Rust correctly and fluently without understanding Arc, Mutex, the mutability of variables/references, and how async and await syntax compiles in the end. Rust forces you to understand how and why things are the way they are. It gives you minimal abstraction to do things that could’ve been tedious to do yourself.

I got a chance to work on two projects that drastically forced me to understand how async/await works. The first one is to transform a library that is completely sync and only requires a sync trait to talk to the outside service. This all sounds fine, right? Well, this becomes a problem when we try to port it into browsers. The browser is single-threaded and cannot block the JavaScript runtime at all! It is arguably the most weird environment for Rust users. It is simply impossible to rewrite the whole library, as it has already been shipped to production on other platforms.

What we did instead was rewrite the network part using async syntax, but using our own generator. The idea is simple: the generator produces a future when called, and the produced future can be awaited. But! The produced future contains an arc pointer to the generator. That means we can feed the generator the value we are waiting for, then the caller who holds the reference to the generator can feed the result back to the function and resume it. For the browser, we use the native browser API to derive the network communications; for other platforms, we just use regular blocking network calls. The external interface remains unchanged for other platforms.

Honestly, I don’t think any other language out there could possibly do this. Maybe C or C++, but which will never have the same development speed and developer experience.

I believe people have already mentioned it, but the current asynchronous model of Rust is the most reasonable choice. It does create pain for developers, but on the other hand, there is no better asynchronous model for Embedded or WebAssembly.

Smart Ticketing Market Trends, Technology Evolution and Forecast Analysis (2022-2028) |UnivDatos

According to the UnivDatos, Global Smart Ticketing Market is expected to grow at a significant rate of around 14% during the forecast period. Gone are the days when paper tickets and long queues defined the travel and event experience. Enter the era of smart ticketing—a digital transformation that is revolutionizing the way people pay for transportation, enter stadiums, and experience cities.

Access sample report (including graphs, charts, and figures) https://univdatos.com/reports/smart-ticketing-market?popup=report-enquiry

Smart ticketing refers to the use of digital solutions such as contactless smart cards, NFC-enabled devices, and QR code scanners to facilitate access across multiple platforms. These solutions not only simplify the user journey but also allow transport authorities and event organizers to better manage crowds, monitor entry points, and collect valuable usage data.

With the rising preference for contactless services, accelerated by the global pandemic, smart ticketing has become more than a convenience—it’s now a standard. Additionally, IT support systems integrated with smart ticketing platforms provide powerful tools for incident tracking, real-time updates, and responsive customer service.

Diverse Applications Driving Market Expansion

The demand for smart ticketing is surging across several industries, including tourism, sports, and entertainment. These sectors benefit from the technology’s ability to handle large volumes of users without compromising efficiency or security.

Cutting-edge developments are fueling this growth. For instance, in April 2021, a collaboration between Calypso Networks Association and the NFC Forum brought new capabilities to mobile ticketing. Their goal is to offer secure and innovative ticketing experiences that align with the global push for digitalization and sustainability.

Hardware Innovation at the Forefront

As per market segmentation, hardware is forecasted to see faster growth over software in the coming years. Key components such as GPS modules, infrared sensors, and wireless-enabled validators are being adopted widely. These elements are not only highly customizable but also integrate seamlessly with contactless payment systems—delivering high-speed, touch-free service.

RFID Dominance and the Shift to Contactless

In terms of technology, RFID has emerged as a dominant force. Its ability to process transactions without the need for physical contact or password entry makes it ideal for high-traffic environments. The growing use of smartphones, pads, and tablets has further boosted RFID’s popularity, as users seek flexible and convenient payment methods.

Regional Outlook: Europe Holds Strong, APAC Ramps Up

Europe is expected to maintain the lion’s share of the global smart ticketing market due to the region’s well-established transport networks and digital infrastructure. The region is also home to numerous innovators who are expanding smart ticketing partnerships to deliver seamless, multi-channel experiences.

The Asia-Pacific region is catching up rapidly. Urbanization, rising smartphone use, and increased government investment in smart infrastructure are driving adoption. In India alone, online ticket bookings nearly doubled in one year, reflecting a shift in consumer behavior toward digital platforms.

Key Players

Leading industry players such as Xerox, Cubic, Thales, Rambus, Confidex, NXP Semiconductors, CPI Card Group, Infineon, Vix Technology, and Scheidt & Bachmann are shaping the future of smart ticketing. Their focus is on product innovation, secure system design, and international scalability.

As the world embraces smarter cities, the smart ticketing market is poised for exponential growth—connecting people, systems, and services like never before.

Jira Cloud Automation Services: Supercharging Your Workflows

In the fast-evolving world of agile project management, automation has become a necessity rather than a luxury. For teams using Jira Cloud, the built-in Jira Cloud Automation Services offer a powerful, no-code solution to streamline workflows, reduce repetitive tasks, and enhance productivity. Whether you're managing software development, IT support, or business operations, Jira Automation can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

Let’s explore what Jira Cloud Automation is, its key features, benefits, and how service providers like Sparxsys Solutions and Ravi Sagar can help you make the most of it.

What is Jira Cloud Automation?

Jira Cloud Automation is a feature that allows users to create custom rules that trigger actions based on specific conditions and events — all without writing a single line of code. For example, you can automatically assign a ticket when it’s moved to a certain status, send reminders for overdue issues, or create subtasks when a new issue is created.

Each automation rule consists of three main components:

Triggers – Events that start the rule (e.g., issue created, status changed)

Conditions – Checks that refine when the rule should run (e.g., issue type = Bug)

Actions – What happens when the rule runs (e.g., assign issue, send email)

This simplicity and flexibility make Jira Cloud Automation accessible to both technical and non-technical users.

Key Benefits of Using Jira Cloud Automation

1. Save Time and Reduce Manual Work

By automating repetitive processes such as ticket assignment, priority setting, or notification sending, teams can save countless hours and reduce human errors.

2. Improve Team Efficiency

Automation keeps workflows consistent and up-to-date. For example, as soon as a ticket is marked as “Done,” a new one can be created for the next sprint, keeping the development cycle moving without delays.

3. Better SLA Management

In service-oriented environments like ITSM or HR, SLAs can be strictly maintained using automation. For instance, a rule can escalate an issue if it remains unresolved for more than 48 hours.

4. Custom Workflows Without Development Overhead

Thanks to its no-code nature, business teams can configure automations without needing Jira Admin or development experience.

5. Cross-Project Automation

Automation rules in Jira Cloud can also be applied globally across multiple projects, making it easier for large organizations to maintain governance and consistency.

Common Use Cases

Here are some popular automation examples that are widely used across different teams:

Auto-Assign Issues: When a bug is reported, automatically assign it to the lead developer of the component.

Slack/Email Notifications: Send a Slack message or email when a high-priority ticket is created.

Linked Issue Management: Automatically transition linked issues when a parent issue is resolved.

Sprint Planning: Create and assign subtasks whenever a new Story is added to a sprint.

Labeling & Tagging: Add a specific label when an issue contains certain keywords.

These rules are just the tip of the iceberg. Jira Cloud Automation allows for unlimited customization depending on your team’s unique workflow.

Quote of the Week

My experience with C++ is that, as I’ve become more of an expert in the language, I’ve become more disillusioned with it. It’s incredibly hard to do things that you should be able to do in software. And, it’s a huge problem for me to constantly be helping other engineers debug the same bugs over and over. It’s always another use after free. I’ve probably debugged 300 of those. [...]

In our experience using the Rust ecosystem for almost three years now, I don't think we found a bug in a single Rust crate that we've pulled off the shelf. We found a bug in one of them and that was a Rust crate wrapping a C library and the bug was in the C library. The software quality that you kind of get for free is amazing.

What Is a DApp and Why Is It Central to Blockchain Development Services UAE?

In just a few years, the United Arab Emirates shot to the top of the global blockchain chart. A mix of clear laws, an ambitious national agenda, and an insatiable appetite for fresh ideas keeps money streaming into decentralized tech.

At the heart of this movement sits one shining star: the Decentralized Application, usually called DApp.

So, what exactly is a DApp, and why has it become essential for almost every blockchain project in the UAE?

Let's take a closer look and see why DApps are more than just a buzzword; they are fast becoming a cornerstone of the UAEs digital makeover.

A DApp is an application hosted directly on a public blockchain instead of locked on a corporate server. Unlike Instagram, Netflix, or any other service that relies on one company for control, DApp stands alone because tiny self-running programs called smart contracts take over as soon as agreed rules are met.

- Decentralization: Data and processing are spread across the whole chain, so nothing lives in a single central folder.

- Smart Contracts: Guidelines are coded in a way that's set in stone, so they can’t be adjusted on a bad day or swapped out after a last-minute brainstorming session.

- Token Economy: Most DApps create their own tokens, letting users pay fees, vote on changes, and earn rewards whenever they join.

- Open Source: Most of these decentralized apps keep their code public, so anyone can scan it for bugs, suggest fixes, or even clone the project.

By cutting out middlemen, DApps offer a clear, secure, and censorship-proof way to run software, and that promise is pushing their rapid rise across the UAE.

Why Are DApps Key for Blockchain Development in the UAE?

1. Keeping Step with the UAE's Blockchain-First Vision

Under the Dubai Blockchain Strategy and the Emirates Blockchain Strategy 2021, the federal government is steadily swapping public services and business tasks for blockchain-backed solutions.

A big piece of this plan calls for DApps in:

Identity verification

Supply chain transparency

Property and land registration

Healthcare data management

Digital payments and wallets

Plugging DApps into so many government and market workflows is sparking demand for local dev teams that can build to national standards and meet fast-moving business goals.

2. Security and Transparency for High-Stakes Industries

The UAE hosts finance, real-estate, energy, and logistics-businesses that depend on trust and clean data. Ordinary apps can be hacked, altered, or frozen at peak hours. DApps, however, run on locked blockchains and public ledgers, so users see proof they can't dispute. When coders build well, a DApp can promise:

full traceability on every shipment

records no one can tamper with

voting totals sealed the moment they are cast

lending circles that function without banks

Because of these wins, UAE blockchain teams now chase industry-specific, bullet-proof DApps.

3. Tokenization and Fresh Business Models

Most DApps offer tokens that turn everyday exchanges into something richer. Whether loyalty coins, shared ownership, or DeFi tools, tokens open the door to:

reward apps that keep shoppers coming back

platforms that let anyone buy a small piece of real estate

governance where holders vote on new rules

bonuses for choosing clean power

These token-powered projects are booming in the UAE, riding the Gulf fin-tech surge.

DApps lie at the core of Web3, allowing people to trade, chat, and save data without a middleman. While the region pilots Metaverse ideas-from Dubai's Metaverse Assembly to various digital twins-these apps drive:

virtual land shops

shared identities and avatars

NFT tickets for events

social hubs beyond big tech

Forward-looking UAE companies now partner with blockchain teams to ready themselves for this next-gen online world.

Across the Emirates, decentralized apps (DApps) are already making a real splash. Here's a look at the action:

- Real Estate Tokenization

Developers use DApps to break expensive buildings into tokenized shares. Each token stands for a small piece of the property, letting everyday investors chip in. The system runs KYC steps on its own and keeps a clear, tamper-proof ledger, so everyone knows who owns what. The result is faster sales and many more people able to join the real-estate market.

- Decentralized Voting Platforms  

Public elections and private board votes now run on smart-rule apps that save each ballot on an open ledger. Because anyone can check the code, people trust the result, and outside tampering gets very hard.

- Health Data DApps  

Some hospitals are piloting chain apps that let patients and doctors own their medical files. Records move easily between clinics but stay private, matching the UAEs push for modern, safe health tech.

- Blockchain-Based Logistics   Merchants track boxes, review invoices, and verify documents in real time with shipping apps. Clear sight at every port powers the UAEs huge trade business and keeps goods moving fast and fair.

4. Why Businesses in the UAE Are Turning to Custom DApp Development

The United Arab Emirates welcomes new tech regulations, its people live online, and the government pushes fresh ideas. Ready-made apps still tempt firms, yet they never line up perfectly with local ways of working. Because of that gap, building a custom decentralized app (DApp) has become the go-to move for:

An architecture that can grow with one industry.

Full compliance with UAE data and crypto laws.

Smooth links to local banks and payment gateways.

Interfaces that speak Arabic, English, and more.

A single easy experience for Web2 visitors and Web3 wallets.

Pick the right team, and your DApp will meet today's goals and quickly adjust to tomorrow's UAE tech scene.

5. How to Begin Your Blockchain Project in the UAE

Thinking about your first DApp? Follow this clear, step-by-step plan:

Define the Use Case. Decide exactly what problem you want to fix and check if decentralization adds real value.

Choose the Blockchain Platform Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, or another ledger each brings its own strengths and costs.

Hire Expert Developers Work with a studio skilled in smart contracts, friendly UX/UI, and the protocols you choose.

Prototype and Test Build a quick model, watch people use it, and tweak it based on what they say.

Do this, and you can roll out a DApp that works, feels safe, and fits local rules.

Deploy and Scale After launch, listen, adjust the code fast, and let speed and users grow.
