Kindness to Your Future Self
Career progression often involves evolving from basic tasks to broader responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of being proactive in product development. Adopting a 'shift left' approach means integrating testing and quality assurance early in the process to facilitate smaller, continuous releases. This mindset aids in making informed decisions: evaluating whether to create new products or leverage existing solutions based on their differentiation value. Sustainability should guide product development, focusing on long-term viability rather than short-term gains. Employing a 'carrot and stick' technique motivates teams by illustrating that well-designed systems operate efficiently, reducing future maintenance burden, while neglecting these considerations leads to increased difficulties in system observability and sustainability.
