The Accidental Programmer
How we use programming concepts in everyday life, and how it can benefit your brand & customers.
Let’s take a simple task that many of us experience on a daily basis-ordering/making a cup of coffee.
Before we can start making the coffee, we need to work
out some of the variables that will affect the result.
• How do they want their coffee? • Do they want sweetener? • Do they want cream? • What size do they want?
Now that we have a solid picture of what success
looks like, we can focus on how to achieve it:
• If they want espresso, I will need to grind the beans differently.
• Are we out of sweetener?• Do we have coffee beans?• Are there clean cups?• Has the water boiled?
At every step we should be applying a single principle at both the micro and macro level:
By asking this question you can find out the real need, and sometimes you can help solve it right away, without
additional features being tacked on later at a cost.
“What problem are you trying to solve?”

The Latest Happenings In Social Media
More prominent calls-to-action are now making it easier for customers to initiate customer service conversations or place a phone call.
New lead ads remove a lot of the friction of filling out forms on your mobile device. Through a call-to-action
button such as “Subscribe”, Facebook will automatically populate contact info from a user.
Instagram has also begun testing different CTAs including “Shop Now”, “Install Now”, “Signup”, and “Learn More”,
allowing users to take an action directly from an ad.
Videos and GIFs uploaded directly to Twitter, or Vine videos, will now automatically play in a user’s feed.
“people were 2.5x more likely to prefer autoplay videos over other viewing methods...”
LinkedIn’s Sponsored InMail has some new features that make it much more effective. 100% delivery is limited to a user receiving only one email for
60 days. This gives the advertiser 100% share-of-voice during that period.
Thank you for pausing.
