Challenges we ran into
Development Challenges and Learnings
While building StockSense, we encountered several practical challenges that are common in real world product development.
We faced issues with code execution and dependency compatibility, especially while working with NLP libraries and model versions, which initially caused parts of the pipeline to break. Integrating multiple third party APIs was also challenging due to rate limits, authentication errors, and inconsistent response formats.
Collaborating through Git introduced merge conflicts and environment mismatches, requiring careful version control and better branching practices. Some features had to be refactored multiple times before achieving stability.
These challenges strengthened our debugging skills, improved our collaboration workflow, and helped us design a more resilient and scalable system. Each issue directly contributed to better engineering decisions and a deeper understanding of production level development.
