Pragmatic .programmers

At Paratroopers we consider ourselves pragmatic programmers. This means we are quick to embrace new ideas and readily adapt. With curiosity, realism, and critical thinking as our guiding principles, we strive to become versatile experts. A paratroopers is a "Jack of all trades", and master of one. For our clients, this entails an agile way of operating, providing prompt and iterative solutions. By taking swift action, developing prototypes, and addressing challenges early on, we ensure an efficient process.

 .KISS &  .DRY principle

All Paratroopers solutions are KISS and DRY. We truly believe in both principles, and simplicity is our key goal when developing.

.Kiss

KISS, aka ‘Keep it simple, stupid’, is a well-known principle from the ’60s. This principle includes the theory that most systems work best if you keep them simple. In other words, avoid complexity and do not complicate a system that already works.

.Dry

DRY stands for ‘don’t repeat yourself’. This basic principle is aimed to reduce the repetition of information in software development. We don’t write lengthy methods but divide and use pieces that already exist. This not only saves time and effort, but it’s also easy to maintain and reduces the chances of bugs. Because of this, we create the least amount of, so-called, technical debt.
