Been working with software systems for more than 10 years, mostly around backend, cloud, AI, automation, and product development. One thing I’ve learned, knowing a programming language alone usually isn’t enough. The harder part is understanding the actual business. How to automate work that’s still manual. Connect systems that don’t work well together. Build AI into real workflows. Keep the backend stable when usage grows. Deal with data scattered across different tools. These are the kinds of problems I’ve spent a lot of time working on here in Japan. But I’m curious about the US side. For people running companies in the US, what technical skills are becoming difficult to find? And what skills do you think companies will need more of over the next few years?

I am an entrepreneur and a tech professional. Been working with software systems for quite a while, and one pattern comes up a lot. The first version works fine. Then customers grow, operations get bigger, and little technical problems start showing up everywhere. Too many manual steps. APIs that don’t talk properly. Slow backend. Data sitting in different places. AI added, but not really connected to the actual workflow. Usually not one huge problem. More like five small ones quietly costing time every day. For those running a company now, what’s becoming harder on the technical side as you grow?

I need the last modified date on the subsidiary record as the integrator wants to know when a subsidiary record has changed. Not sure why they cant simply use Subsidiary.lastModifiedDate, field. Should the workflow refer to a saved search or is there a better way? Thanks!

Hello everyone, We are experiencing an issue with our bank feed for TD Bank. We have five Canadian accounts and one U.S. account. The bank feeds for all of the Canadian accounts are working properly, but the U.S. account stopped syncing in May. We have already disconnected and reconnected the bank feed, but the issue persists. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or know how to resolve it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
