How are you?

The most underrated skill of the next decade: the ability to ask the right questions.

  1. What’s happening right now with the quality of your products and the stability of your systems?
  2. How much of the code you’re shipping right now are you prepared to take responsibility for?
  3. Are you allocating enough time to technical design in your projects?
  4. Is the new code in your systems fully clear to you?
  5. Does it avoid degrading the system’s design — is it well-architected, and does it avoid creating unnecessary complexity?

Build software that genuinely helps your clients and users solve their problems.

Analyze and adjust your tools and processes based on qualitative, not quantitative, metrics.
