It's no secret that we here at MojoTech are big advocates of Elixir. We're using it on client projects, talking about it at conferences, Elixir meetups, and we're even involved in an incredible conference this fall, Elixir with Love.

You and your marketing team spend a tremendous amount of time and energy getting people to visit your company’s website. You run ads. Publish content. Attend community events and hand out pens. Lots and lots of pens.

Clutch.co, a B2B research and consumer review service, recently spoke with Will Farrell, Lead Software Architect at MojoTech, about cloud infrastructure options and various cloud solution options. Will's interview gives an insightful look into how MojoTech evaluates cloud solutions for our client projects.

CEO Nick Kishfy recently sat down with the Providence Business News to discuss his views on "innovation resources" in Rhode Island and what it was like to build a company up from two to nearly 50 employees.

If you’re an engineer at a digital product company or agency, you’re probably no stranger to the principles of the agile method, sprints, and scrums. You know that they pretty much mean “work fast and avoid blockers”. These methods and processes are a great way to work quickly and efficiently, and we devoutly subscribe to them at MojoTech.

Shipping products for our clients is at the core of what we do as a Product Design team. Our expertise and experience is why our clients trust us enough to come back and work with us for multiple engagements.

A good product starts with excellent communication between all team members so that every player is engaged and working together to solve the same problem.

They’re incredible at what they each do, but it doesn’t take long to see they can’t communicate. The kitchen eventually gets built, but it took too long, cost too much, and now the sink keeps catching fire.

For all of us “mature” folk working hard to create value with technology, it is important to remember that the “A” word (agile) is nothing to be afraid of. You don’t have to unlearn everything you know, find brain space for a whole new lexicon, or grow your hair long enough to make a sterling silver topknot.

There’s an old anecdote about a chicken and a pig.
