Monday Quick Read: Every Developer Needs to Understand Business Logic
Why ability to understand business logic can help you become better developer
Happy Monday!
Monday Quick Read is a series of short articles, where I share my personal experiences and thoughts on software development, particularly iOS.
In previous article, I talked about how to stay updated even if you feel your code is outdated.
In an ideal world, developers focus on writing code, and business analysts handle the requirements.
But when developers understand the business logic behind their work, it brings significant value to the project, the team, and the company.
Here are a few reasons why this knowledge is advantageous:
Enhanced problem solving
Developers often make key decisions regarding the selection of appropriate technical solutions or development tools. By understanding the underlying business objectives, they can make these decisions more effectively.
Improved collaboration
Familiarity with business logic fosters better communication among teams, allowing them to speak the same "language" and clarifying the reasons behind various feature requirements.
Better technical debt management
With insight into business priorities, developers can make more informed decisions about when to address technical debt, ensuring timely management of these issues.
Building trust with stakeholders
Demonstrating knowledge of business logic in daily tasks helps developers build credibility and trust with stakeholders.
Career growth
This expertise can differentiate developers during promotion cycles or in the job market, showcasing a broader skill set.
Additionally, having this insight can motivate developers by helping them understand not just "how" things work, but also "why" they do.
