Reading Snippets [43 => Productivity ]

In the book, Art & Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland, we are pointed to the benefits of getting your hands dirty faster, thus allowing for improvement of skills. This can prove to be more effective than spending time studying and theorizing about the "perfect" way to do things.

Other approaches that could be considered include:

🔵 Write the minimal solution that gets the job done
🔵 Write automated tests (prevent regressions)
🔵 Write and (use) reusable libraries
🔵 Use well-known technologies where they work well
🔵 Use design patterns where they fit into place
