I learned about the existence of dev.to in it's early days. I met this guy at OSCON 2017 conference in Austin during lunch at a table designated with a "Ruby/Rails" sign. That was Ben Halpern, and I learned that he was a developer with a funny twitter account :)

I signed up for dev.to but never posted apparently. I was heads down in my work projects and life projects :) I recently left my full time employment as a software developer to do my own thing, be my own boss, become self-employed, whatever you want to call it.

One of my goals is to become non-anonymous online. I've decided to do that by writing and teaching! So here I am!

Nice to meet you again dev.to!

If we all agree that open source as a whole has a documentation problem, what can we do to work on addressing and fixing it?

[How Do We Fix the State of Technical Documentation?](https://opensource.com/article/17/7/how-do-we-fix-technical-documentation-problem)

We have to talk about why people would be motivated to fix the problem before we can get them to do so.

Good and Bad Dev Habits: From Perfectionism to Git Commit Messages

tags: devdiscuss, learning, career, habits

Every Tuesday at 9pm EDT, we host the [#DevDiscuss](https://twitter.com/hashtag/devdiscuss) Twitter chat. This week the community shared the habits that hold them back as software developers, as well as those that uplift them. These are some highlights of last night's awesome chat.

As professionals, most of us have reached some sort of equilibrium between good habits and bad ones. Our triumphs are a product of the former, our limitations a product of the latter. 


{% tweet 887478662311923712 %}

One of the evident themes was devs letting the perfect be the enemy of the good:

{% tweet 887479243592085504 %}

{% tweet 887479720186654721 %}

{% tweet 887479519048806400 %}

Another was spreading one's attention too thin:

{% tweet 887532309708197888 %}

{% tweet 887686078462820352 %}

And another was not focusing enough on good communication:

{% tweet 887478924015480832 %}

{% tweet 887479720186654721 %}

More specifically, devs admit they don't write enough tests:

{% tweet 887479033956634624 %}

{% tweet 887479833760026628 %}

And need to get better at git:

{% tweet 887479207701467136 %}

{% tweet 887479862528806912 %}

{% tweet 887605023802146816 %}

But hey, we also do _some_ things right! So we also asked about the positive:

{% tweet 887485258450468864 %}

Lots of devs are proud of how careful and deliberate they can be when learning:

{% tweet 887490351883329536 %}

{% tweet 887520166967255041 %}

{% tweet 887489223430995968 %}

And despite the industry's reputation, many devs are good at not taking on too much work:

{% tweet 887485827353264128 %}

{% tweet 887490016192020481 %}

{% tweet 887485958995587072 %}

Don't forget to maintain a friendly demeanor at work!

{% tweet 887510747202281472 %}

{% tweet 887486161777721344 %}

And while some cited documentation as a weakness in the first question, plenty also noted it as a strength:

{% tweet 887554123196841984 %}

{% tweet 887506189377863681 %}

{% tweet 887490926716887040 %}


------

Overall it was one of the most spirited discussions we've had, and one that has plenty of useful sub-conversations. If you need more inspiration, some of dev.to's most popular articles have been about building good habits:

{% link https://dev.to/rafaelcgstz/7-habits-to-become-a-better-software-engineer %}
{% link https://dev.to/binarforge/seven-useful-programming-habits %}

So keep honing your best habits and try to limit some of your worst ones. And remember...none of us are perfect! âœŒï¸

I've just noted, that when you are in the stage of failing test, not only it is the great time to make sure your test actually tests something, but also it is a chance to see *how* it fails, and see if you can decipher the output, and make any sense of it. I believe it is a very good time to think about the names of methods, variables etc.

I have been working in IT for 10 years, started as a Java coder and gradually specialized in IT integration while working with webMethods and Oracle SOA 11G (not so much coding, more visual development). 

2 years ago I began working with MuleSoft and that reopened my appetite for coding. 

I am curious by nature and I like to keep myself busy by always learning new things. I am a strong believer that the best way to develop is to share your knowledge with the others whenever you see the opportunity. 

By joining this community I hope I will be able to both contribute with useful information from my own "lessons learned" and also keep-on learning! :) 

Topics of special interest:
- MuleSoft
- Java, Spring, Groovy 
- Integration Architecture, Solution Design
- APIs
- Continuous Delivery 
- git 
- node.js
- Agile, Processes, Leadership
- Innovation

How To Not Repeat Mistakes

title: How To Not Repeat Mistakes
published: true
description: A simple method for not repeating mistakes and a list to help in analysing the cause of a mistake.
tags: people, process, offtopic
---

Let's face it, every now and again someone makes a mistake. "To err is human" as they say. It's important to realise however that mistakes are *unintentional*. People in general don't want to make mistakes. Recognise and acknowledge that, both to yourself and whoever made the mistake (if it wasn't you). Mistakes are a learning opportunity in disguise, don't play the blame game.

Now, there is a simple method to avoid repeating a mistake: **habit**.

In other words create a process/routine that guards against the mistake and then repeat that process/routine obsessively. In the future you will instinctively know when something is off.

Forget your keys to the house? Always put them in the same pocket and touch the outside of the pocket when you're about to leave the house.

When working together with others there could be a number of possible reasons for a mistake, some outside the control of whoever made it. When that happens it's good to have a way to analyse why it happened and which steps are needed to fix it and learn from the situation.

Below are some common areas that could be the cause of a mistake. There may be others but this should cover most of them.

Was the mistake due to:

* faulty process/practice?
* something non-/miscommunicated?
* missing/false knowledge?
* stress?
* culture?

The solution is the same regardless: change your habits to guard against that future situation.

I'm just a health care management assistant that came through that development and administration job within private interests. I already finished some projects successfully in the last 3 years. 2 jobs are left. In the meanwhile I learned a small version of projectmanagement to implement that jobs. But I'm looking for an cool tool to register and structure all that little ideas that come through the working progress and meetings. I'm really new in doing something like that.
Do you use something to unravel all that flashes of genius? XD
