#rapid-prototyping

Handling product and design together in my last job was a relentless game. At the point I got laid off, I was juggling five work streams at once. Without a dedicated engineering team and no designer other than myself, I was scoping, researching, analyzing data, designing, writing tickets, running alignment meetings, reviewing builds, and resourcing in relentless two-week cycles... for multiple projects. By this point, I wore the reality-altering (or "reality-checking") hat that saw design merely as one of many tasks to get through.

US Army soldiers are tearing apart drones, printing out new parts, and flying their own creations into live-fire drills - a crash-course in the messy, fast-paced world of drone warfare. The Army has launched a sweeping push to weave drones into combat across the force. For now, that work can look improvised and experimental, with soldiers moving quickly and sharing feedback as they go. In line with the Army's significant transformation initiative, over the past nine months, the Bayonet Innovation Team of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, part of the Army's Southern European Task Force, Africa, has been building, flying, and reconfiguring drones. In exercises in Lithuania, Tunisia, and Germany, the brigade used first-person view drones to strike static and moving targets, 3D-printed parts to test new designs, and artificial intelligence-enabled software to refine tactics.

Low-code development enables users to build functional applications with minimal hand-coding by leveraging visual interfaces, drag-and-drop components, and prebuilt templates.
