- Ship product fast, in small increments, learn from customer feedback, iterate, don't wait on perfection.
- Customer feedback is more important than code tests when rapidly growing new product features.
- Code tests are essential for long-term stability and reliability.
- Constantly reeducate yourself, learn new skills and technologies, judge which are worth investing more time in.
- Soft skills should be in balance with Hard tech skills, we all have to communicate, even solo developers.
