Completing any apprenticeship involves a great deal of learning, but the world of software engineering particularly can be confusing, stressful and, at times, unforgiving. Learning from failures and mistakes is critical for a rewarding and successful career further down the line. In this article I’ll be sharing 10 crucial lessons I learnt on my software engineering journey.

Hard working software developers are the very core of Hark, helping bring new functionality, better UI, and constant performance upgrades to The Hark Platform. In honour of National Coding Week, we’ve put the spotlight on our team, to let them tell their story and share some tips for budding coders!
Yorkshire-based off-grid solar power company, Xerogrid has partnered with one of the world’s fastest-growing energy storage system providers, a Forbes China top 50 innovative business, with help from Energy Management and Industrial IoT company, Hark.
As it’s my Harkiversary (see what I did there?) I’ve been doing a lot of reflection recently on what I have learnt and achieved in this past year. It’s hard to put down all the things I’ve learnt given there’s been so much; from technical elements about software, hardware and energy to internal operational elements, strategy, growth, standardisation, and quality.
Breaking down ISO 50001 certification into steps makes the entire process feel more manageable. By taking one important first step, you’ll have more clarity for the rest of the project…
Product design is a crucial aspect of any business – it is the process of creating a product that not only meets the needs of the customers but also stands out from the competition. However, designing a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing is not an easy task. Amongst other things, it requires a deep understanding of the market and the target audience. In this blog, we will discuss Dieter Rams’ 10 principles of Good Design and whether following those principles makes your product a sure buy for the consumer.
High energy cost periods in the day can have an enormous impact on how much a business pays for their energy. Using energy management software, businesses can minimise their consumption during these hours and save money.
This blog post discusses the importance of stationarity in timeseries data when performing analysis or generating forecasts. Non-stationary data can pose challenges for accurate forecasting, but transformations such as differencing, Box-Cox, and Yeo-Johnson can help make data stationary. These techniques can help with effective planning and implementation of energy management policies.
Whether you’re a former Myspace tinkerer or a seasoned web developer who deals daily with colour on the web, you’ve probably come across hex codes before, but how much do you know about this strange-looking combination of numbers and letters? If the answer is not very much, check this out.
The bias-variance trade-off is a fundamental concept in machine learning and statistics that refers to the trade-off between a model’s ability to fit the training data well (low bias) and its ability to generalise to unseen data (low variance).
Electrical site surveys are instrumental to a successful energy management project. By understanding the assets, network infrastructure and requirements of a facility, we can accurately plan and roadmap a high-impact energy analytics and industrial IoT project.
Hark’s capabilities will expand SolarEdge’s monitoring and energy management offering to the Commercial and Industrial segment
The internet of things (IoT) is best known for unlocking new business opportunities by transforming the way people and machines work. In today’s world, data is the key to a business’s success; IoT deployments can provide critical data to any device such as a phone, tablet or computer within seconds to help businesses improve performance.
