Why do we make IT so complicated? 😱

Image description

Step 1: Get a task.
Step 2: Code it up, but don't forget to Google the errors.
Step 3: Share it with your colleagues, and let them spot your typos.
Step 4: Repeat.

𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲? Team up with your work buddy for some Pair Programming - two brains are better than one (most of the time).

𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞? Embrace Mob Programming - a whole gang of you working on a single task. It's like a coding party!

𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭? Introducing CI/CD: Code It, Commit It, Deploy It. Rinse and repeat.

𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲? Count the number of tasks you've done or estimate in points. Compare that to the mountain of work in the backlog - you'll get the hang of it.

𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚? Throw it in the prioritized backlog.

𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬? Make it a backlog item.

𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐠? Prioritise it.

𝐁𝐮𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬? Pause everything (yes, everything!) and fix it. We don't want the digital apocalypse on our hands.

𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐨-𝐝𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭? Grab the next item from the backlog.

𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦? Talk it out! Communication is key.

If you can't talk because you're scared, grumpy, or just plain awkward, take a deep breath and adult up! Conflicts are normal; we've all been there. Learn to deal with them.

Let's not make this rocket science, folks! Keep it simple, stop overloading on ceremonies, and let's work smart, not hard! 🚀💻
