404 Error
A 404 error is a website status code indicating that a webpage cannot be found on the server. This is typically because the page has been removed or moved, but the old URL hasn’t been redirected to the new location.
404 errors should be monitored for and removed when found, but it’s often tough to catch all of them on large or older websites. Designing a 404 page that apologizes to the user in an amusing way and provides them with some resources to help them find what they’re looking for can be a great way not to lose credibility on your site.

Agile Development
Agile Development - sometimes simply called Agile - is a project management style that emphasizes quick, iterative changes to a project to maintain flexibility in the project’s parameters and deliverables.
This is often juxtaposed with Waterfall Development, wherein an entire project is completed in stages before any launch happens. Testing and iterating in Agile often happens during development, with the initial launch happening much earlier in the process to get quicker feedback.
