Another day in the life of a software developer

The day we stop learning is the day we die

Things I try to do often

• Follow the Pareto Principle (80:20 rule) whenever you can
• SODOTO
• Unit test my classes and functions wherever possible - this small and sometimes mundane task often picks out stupid/silly/unintended mistakes.
• Learn from others
• Make an effort to enjoy the journey in pursuit of the destination

Things I try to remember

• Develop with the end in mind, the (final) working product. The steps to get there are incidental, the living system is always your target
• Treat people with respect and care, it is not always easy

Things I want to do better

• Improve unit and integration tests.
• Async/Await

Finally

• The more I learn, the less I feel that I know. It is kind of scary. I guess I need to learn some more.
