I really like the idea of conducting postmortems for major bugs. I feel like learning from our own mistakes is still often overlooked, even though it’s one of the best ways to prevent similar issues from happening again.
Absolutely Daniel! A postmortem-driven engineering culture provides many benefits, such as root cause analysis, lessons learned, action items, and observability improvements.
I completely agree with point #9. Incorporating tools like ChatGPT into my workflow has been a small but impactful change that’s doubled my productivity. It’s amazing how these incremental improvements free up time to focus on new projects and further growth. Nice post!
Thank you so much for sharing, Lorenz! I couldn’t agree more—those little changes really do add up over time. It’s awesome to hear it’s been such a game-changer for you too!
Totally agree! In the end, we are solving customer pain points—that’s why they pay for it. They don’t care about which version of the framework we’re using under the hood.
Loved every suggestion, I am currently in my 25th year of my career, missed this kind of advice. Thanks much Adlet!!
Happy that it was helpful to you Saravanan!

Btw... I really like https://monkeytype.com/ to learn to type faster. Clean UI :)
Oh, I didn’t know that. Thank you! I used to do typing races here https://play.typeracer.com/
Having fun sometimes :D
#8 is so important. You cannot go above a certain point in your career if you don't know the business. Great post!

I deeply resonate with #10.
There's no perfect job as there is no perfect anything.
Focusing on the process and enjoying the ride is the best way to keep showing up and improving.
And that process is different for all of us.
1000%. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!
