$370M per year — that’s how much companies worldwide lose because of legacy systems and technical debt. 📉

AngularJS is a good example. The framework reached end-of-life in 2021, which means applications built on it no longer receive security updates or ongoing support.
In practice, that can lead to:

❌ higher exposure to security vulnerabilities
❌ more difficult application maintenance and development
❌ rising costs of maintaining legacy systems
❌ integration challenges with modern technologies

Migrating to modern Angular helps improve security, performance, and long-term maintainability. 🎯

In our latest article, we take a closer look at the problem, explain architectural differences, and show practical code examples. Read it here:

AngularJS to Angular Migration Migrate from AngularJS to Modern Angular for improved security, application performance, and long-term support.

Hiring outcomes improve when we look beyond skills and experience and assess factors that strongly correlate with team effectiveness. 👩‍💼

Research from Google, the MIT Human Dynamics Lab, and Patrick Lencioni highlights three areas that consistently matter most.

1️⃣ Attitude and Accountability

Gallup research shows that employees who take responsibility for their work and are open to feedback achieve higher performance and operate more reliably within teams.

2️⃣ Thinking Style: Decision-Making and Reasoning

Findings from MIT indicate that the most productive teams include people who can analyze information, connect insights, and make sound decisions in conditions of uncertainty.

3️⃣ Communication: Clarity and Constructive Dialogue

Patrick Lencioni points to lack of trust as the first dysfunction of a team. Trust is built through clear, specific, and constructive communication.

These three factors rarely appear on a resume, yet they have a decisive impact on fit, collaboration, and results. ✅

A well-designed interview process allows recruiters to assess them quickly and accurately.

More and more companies are realizing that experience and a strong resume don’t guarantee a good fit with the team. A candidate might have all the necessary skills, yet collaboration can start to lose momentum after just a few weeks. 🤫

This isn’t a problem for a single organization—it’s about what truly makes a team effective.

One of the most well-known studies on team performance, Project Aristotle (Google, 2012), made it clear: the biggest factor influencing team effectiveness is psychological safety. 👩‍💼

That means creating an environment where people can:

Ask questions without fear,
Say “I don’t know,”
Admit when they don’t understand something,
Share ideas even if they’re still in the early stages.

Other factors, such as:

✅ Clarity of roles,
✅ Sense of purpose,
✅ Reliability,
✅ Impact on work

…become important only after psychological safety is established.

That’s why a resume alone can’t show whether someone will truly strengthen a team. Competence is obviously important, but equally critical is how someone collaborates.

Merry Christmas! May your holidays be full of laughter and love. 🎄🦌
