We are brought up believing we need to choose sides.
And we always do. Often in the name of “Good”.
Of “Better”.

Developing a career in writing software was choice-driven. The diversity of options on each step forced everything into the “win some, lose some” paradigm. “Are you with us or against us?”

The “new recruit” that: • Just knows for who to woo and for who to boo; • Is 100% convinced that his path is the right
one towards “the light”; • Doesn’t really understand the reasons, but can
reproduce all the sentences; • Is one tough Jedi in a world of Padawans; • His new weapon can beat anything else; • Uses only 10% of “the power” of the tool.

Entering the industry changes the perspective from individual to collective, team-based. The disputes shifted from raw technologies to paradigms, methodologies, ways to do it more than tools to be used.

You’re not fighting your colleagues, although many times it surely does look like it. You’re not fighting your clients, despite the much desired blood on your hands after teleconferences.

You just need to find the most suitable way for you to approach the project, ship it and be satisfied with the results. It’s that simple. There is no perfect path, no magic tools and for sure David Blaine doesn’t work for you.

Before getting to work be sure you have the complete specifications of your project. Spend all the time you need to develop the necessary documents for you and your team. Hopefully you’ll have something left for actual implementation.

Try to see first which is the best tool for the job. Don’t always go for the beloved technology or framework. Don’t reinvent the wheel. It was reinvented billions of times. Please, leave the wheel alone.

Design components for reusability. Try to break your work in bits and pieces that you can use in other projects or are easy to alter. Think of it as if you have a lot of puzzles and each of them has a sun and some clouds. And mandatory a puppy.

Usually stuff needs maintenance. Yours will need it too, most probably. Make your life easier developing the product while having maintenance in mind.

Push new stuff in. Research, read, learn. Try to convince your clients to look towards the future, but don’t ever forget that the real clients are your client’s clients.
