Neo Vision’s Weekly Rant #37
Where we RANT about what goes exceptionally good and wildly bad when you turn your company digital
The Internet is a bubble. While its potential for virality and prominence is undeniable, it often takes countless hours of work to build a substantial online presence without any guarantee of reaching and engaging all relevant audiences.
Offline events, however, still hold untapped potential and hidden gems, especially among those who don't spend as much time on the web. Individuals who entered the tech industry over 20 years ago often have a broader and more nuanced understanding of its impact on various industries.
Our recent four-day experience at Intek 2023, our first trade show participation in quite some time, was eye-opening and provided raw feedback on our work and approach to transforming the software development industry. We connected with long-time industry players who have witnessed significant changes in technology. Calm and collected, many of these individuals have experienced two Industrial Revolutions (the third and fourth) and are fully aware that another revolution, driven by advancements in Artificial Intelligence, is rapidly approaching.
Even as we strive to bring Industry 4.0 to its full potential, we must also focus on preparing for the challenges and opportunities presented by the impending Fifth Industrial Revolution and its influence on the global stage.
🏭 In Industry 5.0, Great Minds Will Literally Think Alike
The Fifth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 5.0, represents a new era where human cognition and artificial intelligence (AI) come together, enabling humans and robots to collaborate for mutual benefit. Industry 5.0 aims to transform "cyber-physical" manufacturing plants into "human-cyber-physical" systems. This will lead to a more harmonious human-AI relationship, with robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles performing tasks they excel at, freeing humans to focus on high-level decisions and creative pursuits.
As we are "industry agnostic" and recognize the intricacies of the future, we opted to join another offline event: The Largest Global Blockchain Conference Network - Blockchain Economy, scheduled for May 8-11, 2023, in Istanbul. Are you ready to accelerate your blockchain knowledge? Join us at the Blockchain Economy Conference in Istanbul for an unforgettable experience (this is part of our media partnership with Blockchain Economy)

👨💻 Programmer Interrupted: The Real Cost of Interruption and Context Switching
Programmer productivity suffers due to interruptions and context switching. Regaining focus takes time and mental energy, so it's crucial to manage working contexts efficiently within an IDE. A larger screen boosts context density, while prospective memory helps remember future tasks. Modern IDEs, with working state preservation features, create a more engaging environment for programmers to thrive.
