Great article Carolyn. "Just ask" is one of the most underrated things you can do! There are people in your team who know the codebase in and out and will just point you in the right direction, although some people equate this to showing weakness, asking for help when you need it will ultimately help you get things working/fixed more efficiently! Good luck in your new job at 2U :)
Thanks so much for reading and for the good wishes! I agree, struggling is worthwhile at times but a lot of the time it's simply more efficient and productive to just ask :)
Thanks for sharing! I agree so much with "Write everything down." What tool/software do you use to log all your things? I use evernote for writing down everything, but curious what others use!
Much agreed, taking notes is very helpful. Especially when you have not been working on an issue for a while, or when you have to revisit it.
I use
docs/{project}/{issue}folders. They contain things like:notes.md: a plaintext document elaborating on / exploring the issuenotes.mdI have a sublimetext project pointing to the docs folder. For now it's mighty fine. At some point I may have to start archiving things :)
Agreed a lot, especially the rapidfire tips! I always end up thinking it has a lot to do with empathy, more than we usually think.
So true, empathy is crucial! Thanks for reading :)
