You know the drill…
Make sure you get out of that computer chair today…
Do something active, move your body…
Whatever project you’re working on will still be there when you’re done.
I got in a run this morning, and spending the rest of the day with this little one 👍

I'd sigh with relief when I realised it wasn't mine...
When it was mine, I'd feel self-conscious.
I'd think everyone was listening to me and
waiting for me to mess up...
I found it extremely stressful... at first...

Software development is not about delivering code; It’s about delivering value…
How do you know if you delivered value?
How is your team measuring it?

There are lessons to be learned with every dead-end we meet. 👍

Ask yourself:
"How many dead-ends have I been down lately?"
Now realise that "none" is not necessarily the best answer...

You're looking for help… To learn and grow…
You're not looking to offload it onto someone else.
People will be generous with their time and attention
when you put in a little effort. 👍
Go on, bite the bullet and ask for help…
Perseverance is a valuable attribute…
But don’t let it get in the way of asking for help.
I often left it too long…
When writing code, periodically read it back and ask yourself…
"Would a new team member be able to read and understand this?”
It's probably a cardinal sin to dare to question the necessity of caffeine in the software development community... 🤷♂️
