Simple and Powerful Things That Work For Me – Jakub Nabrdalik

• Take small steps to implement a feature, like uploading an Excel file. This makes it easier to test and verify.
• Don’t assume you’ll write the perfect code the first time. Assume the opposite and be ready to make changes.
• Unit tests are important, but don’t just focus on coding and forget to test.
• Payment error handling is crucial, but don’t automate everything. Manually verify and correct errors.
• Don’t assume things will always work as expected. Analyze what can go wrong and be prepared.
• Focus on writing readable code, not perfect code. Remove unnecessary complexity.
• Don’t be afraid to delete parts of your code if they become outdated or wrong.
• Take baby steps when implementing features and refine requirements with behavioral scenarios.
• Use practices like threat modeling to anticipate and prevent potential issues.
• Don’t assume customers will always use your system correctly. Plan for errors and edge cases.
• Write tests as a way to communicate with the business and refine requirements.
• Don’t automate everything. Focus on writing code that is maintainable and adaptable.
• Live coding can be beneficial, but don’t feel pressured to do it perfectly.
• Don’t be afraid to try different approaches and delete code that doesn’t work.
• Good logs are important for debugging and understanding what went wrong.
• Focus on writing code that is easy to understand, not just perfect code.
