The most difficult --- remembering to give feedback! Sometimes I get stuck in the weeds and forget to set time aside to give feedback -- we have retros every Friday but even then we have a tendency to blow through everything quickly in order to 'get back to work.' I think positive feedback tends to get overlooked and we have a tendency to focus on 'what went wrong and how we can be better.'
We're getting better at it since we started doing Rose, Bud, Thorns at retro. A rose is something we celebrate, a Bud is a new 'thing' we're excited about, and a Thorn is something we need to do better at next time.
Must easier...making connections! People have been overwhelmingly supportive of dev.to and we've been given a lot of opportunities to talk about what we're doing, and have gotten a lot of great advice from people we look up to.
