Don't send them to teamwork and collaboration training if you reward them for individual performance.

I did it again... wrote generic "reusable" code.
As soon as I started using it for something - I realised I needed to change it. The "reusable" code turned out to be "unusable".
Don't start off spending time writing generic libs/services before you actually need them.

The goal of software design is to create chunks or slices that fit into a human mind. The software keeps growing but the human mind maxes out, so we have to keep chunking and slicing differently if we want to keep making changes.

One of the most important qualities of a professional programmer is the courage to be brutally honest about estimates and dates; and to be unafraid to say “No” to impassioned demands that are counter to reality. – at Gages Lake, IL

When you try to make fewer mistakes by making fewer mistakes you slow feedback, learn less, and make more mistakes. When you speed feedback you learn more and make fewer mistakes.

There is nothing wrong in doing some analysis and design before implementing a feature or a group of features. In fact, I think it is quite healthy. TDD becomes much easier and faster when we have some design idea in mind. By design I mean a direction, not a detailed plan.

When you read code, the race, religion, politics, gender, and orientation of the author are irrelevant and invisible. The only thing you can tell about the author is their ability to write well organized code. Nothing else matters. – at Chicago, IL
