In January, we should've had the first get-together in two years for the Martian team, but we had to put it off because of Omicron. Instead, we did an online edition as we did for the last 2 years, and we'll be meeting in Barcelona in early spring. In the Martian Days, we update everyone on strategy, finance, team changes, new projects, and whatnot. We also showcase projects and do fun activities, like all-hands sessions, round tables, games, giveaways, rewards, etc. See the agenda of our last edition.

We are looking for Ruby on Rails and/or Javascript Developers, either to join the team as full-time employees or freelancers. We are a young and energetic team with a passion to deliver premium quality software to our clients.  If you want to know more about who we are, what we do, and how we work, take a look at the MarsBased handbook and if you already know us and want to become part of the Martian family, check our openings:

HTTP/3 is here and makes web performance much faster. It can make a big difference in how users experience your site. In general, the more resources your site requires, the bigger the performance improvement you’ll see with HTTP/3. Request Metrics benchmarks to prove how HTTP/3 actually makes things faster. Read more here.

Threat actors are actively weaponizing unpatched servers affected by the "Log4Shell" vulnerability in Log4j to install cryptocurrency miners, Cobalt Strike, and recruit the devices into a botnet, even as telemetry signs point to exploitation of the flaw nine days before it even came to light. Read more here, article by The Hacker News.

Embedded Sass is an ongoing effort to make a highly-performant Sass library available to as many different languages as possible, starting with Node.js. It's expected to be a major boon to developers for whom compilation speed is a concern. Read more here, article by SASS.

Great news to start the year! We've signed a contract with the German-Swiss multinational Haufe-Umantis, which operates in the HR industry. We'll be developing a project in React for their development center in Barcelona.

For our colleagues at DeWocracy, a company from Barcelona offering remote work solutions for a hybrid office strategy, we've been building new features and a new mobile application using React Native. We've developed a new desk reservation process on an interactive map, by which the staff can define the qualities of each desk and the user can choose the preferred desk based on the status, location, colleagues sitting next-to, etc.

We are partnering with 4YFN to connect our community to the startup event of Mobile World Congress, the world's largest exhibition for the mobile industry. Join us!

From March on, we'll be back to our monthly events at Movistar Centre after several months of hosting smaller events at Aticco Bogatell, which has been great as a transition. You can already save the dates on your agenda and book your seat for the following events. We'll reveal the speakers shortly. Stay tuned!
