For many executives, the phrase “vibe coding” lands somewhere between tech slang and Silicon Valley humor. It sounds informal, almost unserious — but the reality behind it is anything but. Coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy, vibe coding describes a shift in how software is built: instead of writing code line-by-line, engineers describe intent in...

![LatAm Payments: How to Receive USD in Latin America as a Remote Developer [2026]](https://beon.tech/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/BEON-FHD-DIA-1-213-800x400.jpg)
Remote work is on the rise worldwide, and Latin America (LatAm) has become a hotspot for tech talent. U.S. companies are drawn to the region’s skilled developers, aligned time zones, and competitive costs. This boom in cross-border hiring comes with a critical question for LatAm remote developers: how do you get paid in USD efficiently...

Distributed software engineering teams give organizations access to global talent, greater scalability, and extended productivity cycles, but even the strongest remote engineering teams can struggle without a deliberate and well-designed communication strategy. A common pitfall is the “always-on” communication culture, where leaders expect instant responses across time zones. This creates pressure to stay visibly active...

Scaling engineering teams is an exciting milestone. You’ve closed your Series B, proven product–market fit, and are ready to accelerate. But rapid growth brings a paradox: the processes that worked for a 10-person startup can quietly collapse at 50+ engineers. When you’re scaling a tech team in an environment where AI tools and automation are...

Have you faced a problem so large that checking every possible solution is nearly impossible? Consider planning a road trip across many cities or organizing a complex schedule. These problems involve countless combinations. Traditional algorithms often settle too quickly on solutions that seem good but are far from optimal. Simulated Annealing (SA) offers a smarter...

Key Takeaways The Software Developer Shortage Heading Into 2026 The numbers are stark. By 2030, the global workforce could face a shortage of 85.2 million software engineers, according to workforce modeling and talent gap analysis from Korn Ferry’s Talent Crunch research. That shortfall carries real economic consequences. Korn Ferry estimates that unfilled tech roles and...

While the U.S. and China dominate the AI landscape, Latin America is rapidly emerging as a major talent hub. With a population nearing 700 million and a growing focus on STEM education, the region offers an attractive alternative for CTOs and tech recruiters looking to hire AI developers. In North America and Europe, the race...

As more U.S. companies scale their engineering capacity through nearshore software development, two markets consistently lead the conversation: Chile and Peru. Both countries have become high-value destinations for outsourcing to Latin America, offering access to skilled engineers, strong cultural alignment with U.S. teams, and real-time collaboration across nearly identical time zones. Yet when comparing Chile...
