Learning Web Development? Skills to Make You Stand Out
Adding to this: learn soft skills:- check yourself before blaming others, it might eventually be an issue in your code- beware of premature optimization. Spend that time on defensive code, comments and tests. Optimize based on measurements, not feelings- take notes when getting tasks and make sure you don’t miss anything- ask questions when stuck but don’t ask things before at least googling them once- under promise and over deliver- be nice and never argumentative- be humble when getting criticism and be merciful when giving one- count to ten before sending an angry / escalation email- understand that some people need to have things explained to them slowly and more than once, be patient- have some backbone eg, if your manager is wrong, tell them (in private!) but accept if they don’t agree, they have the final word.- be proactive and communacte your status and plans even if not asked to- don’t work yourself to death, have limits
