One of the best things that has served me well over my career is not becoming married to what I produce.

Yes, I put my all into the things I build, but if we need to throw it away for whatever reason, I'm ok with that.

Fail fast!

But also know that failing fast is NOT about failing, it's about learning fast, getting feedback fast and applying the learning.

Failing fast should not be at the cost of creative and critical thinking.

It should not replace meaningfulness and thoughtfulness.

Here are a few tips on how to successfully transition your career.

@NicolaLindgren @rareblog Well, we can print it later some time. 😁

[Raj @rajeshmathur]

After spending years on projects and product development initiatives, I have come to realise that different thing can mean different to people; and that people are capable of interpreting things in ways that suit them.

Agile is one of those things, sadly.

Once again: the only thing flaky about a so-called “flaky test” is someone’s dismissal of it as “flaky”. A “flaky test” is always evidence of some misconception about the product, the check code, the environment, and the relationships between them. Investigate and address that.
