Congrats on the new role! I can totally relate to number 9. I’ve been writing code for a while now and I still have days where I think β€œI don’t have a clue what’s going on”. On others days though, it’s just the opposite and i’m an unstoppable code ninja and everything compiles first time. Just keep your enthusiasm and you’ll do great!

Thanks Grant - I had one of those days today where everything just came into place with the unit and integration tests :) Totally worth it though :)

Glad to see another C# lover. Maybe can we see a post on what you like more (or you discover) about VS, C#, and .Net?
