With the development and advancement of the internet, privacy concerns have become a major consideration for software developers to implement and continually update. In modern software design, implementing different privacy measures can range from encryption, admin logins and recently biometrics.
Where biometrics is the authentication of information or software application via the use of the body (typically fingerprints, eye scan, face scan etc) this has recently become one of the more popular ways of securing data and information as it is much harder for unwanted personnel to access your information through brute force tactics.
Customers today have become more aware of privacy concerns when using the internet and security has now become needed and expected within software applications especially when dealing with confidential information (i.e. address, credit card information, phone number etc.). Thus as software developers, making sure that your software application is continually being updated to prevent attacks to the system, uses precautions such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and finally, informing the users of when a privacy breach occurs or when if a suspected one occurs.
When hiring someone into a job in Software Development there are specific skills that the potential employee must possess. It is upon the sum of these skills that they must be judged and deemed worthy for the position or not.
These skills include; Communication Skills (active listening, negotiation), Ability to Work Effectively in a Team, Design Skills (when required, interface design, character design, level design, etc.), Technical Skills (proficiency in the required programming language and development tools), Problem-Solving Skills, Attention to Detail. In terms of communication skills ensuring that you are an active listener within a team means that you are paying attention within group discussions, showing interest through body language, providing feedback and inquiring about certain topics or concepts and finally, responding respectfully and mannerly when an opinion differs or opposes yours to which the discussion allows for both parties to explain their point of view than an agreement of one side or comprise of both sides can be made.
