Obviously getting productive in Delphi doesn't take much time, our two latest hires had zero Delphi background, mainly Java or Python, but after a couple of courses they were good enough to commit solid work. Clearly many are worried about taking on an unknown, and how that will reflect on their CV.Īs for taking months to be productive, that's certainly my experience. We've tried not specifying the language in the job ads, and have almost everyone turn away when they ask and we tell. And they'll need to be competent in Norwegian, as most of the gov't documentation and customer interactions will be in Norwegian.

We've had poor experience with remote workers, including ourselves during corona lockdown, so we want someone who can be at the office at least 2-3 days a week. Hiring a poor fit can be a net negative on the team and thus we'd be better without. Having such a small team means each person has a huge impact. Of course we could probably find someone fairly easy if we would hire anyone who walked in the door and said 'yay Delphi!'. The larger issue is, they dont see the technology work on as a good stair-step on their career progression, so they dont wanna work here. It's not that we cant find developers - its that finding people who understand our industry is hard, and even if we hire someone who isnt in our industry, it does take six months or so before they can be productive. We provide solutions that are reliable, and must work, but dont need to serve billions, just hundreds.Īlso, as a deployment engineer it takes someone new into my role, about six months before they understand enough of the system to work unaided. We provide decent wages, good benefits and a no requirement for overtime, but it's not sexy and it's not the way the rest of the technology industry is pivoting. Technology in our world moves very very slowly. This isnt just us I'll note, its my whole industry.

Plus lots of development on just DSP code. We also do a bunch of embedded development, RTEMS, now Linux, other shops have some VxWorks too. We've only just barely figured out what Web 2.0 is, Javascript based UI is new for us. PCM Audio, Multicast, lots of analog connectivity, arcane binary protocols (even widely adopted and interoperable ones), lots of manufacturer specific protocols too. I work in an industry with useful, important, specialized, but unsexy technology. So, I've been active on HN for almost 12 years now - I see how developers especially young ones chase the new and shiny over the existing. We'll probably move the front end at some point once we find something suitable. Net while keeping the frontend in Delphi for now. Via RPC and message queues we can implement pieces in. So far we're moving the 'backend' stuff to. I'm not sure we could have gotten this far with such few developers with any other tool/platform.īut as I said, things are changing. This with a team of 7 devs total and zero hired manpower. The largest customer has 25 integrations, 20 of them entirely custom including non-trivial new user interfaces, and got onboarded in less than a year from signing the contract. To give some perspective, we've got hundreds of businesses with many thousands of users, many large modules which constantly evolve, we have tons of custom integrations per customer, including custom data entry windows/screens.

We've looked at moving to the web, but none of the front-end frameworks and tools we've seen so far get anywhere close to the ease of Delphi when it comes to making decent looking user interfaces with nontrivial functionality that doesn't silently break in random weird ways from one day to the next.Īlso, if you want something in between a full CRM and 'assembly level' database access, Delphi has some powerful libraries and components. It's also been difficult hiring developers.

The IDE is far behind Visual Studio in terms of code completion and similar help. The language hasn't evolved much and is showing its age in many areas.

These days it's obvious the years of lost momentum is taking a toll. We're crucial to daily operations of many local branches of well-known global businesses.
