Why do we make IT so complicated? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Image description

Step 1: Get a task.
Step 2: Code it up, but don't forget to Google the errors.
Step 3: Share it with your colleagues, and let them spot your typos.
Step 4: Repeat.

๐…๐ž๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Ÿ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ฒ? Team up with your work buddy for some Pair Programming - two brains are better than one (most of the time).

๐…๐ž๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ? Make it a backlog item.

๐…๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐š ๐›๐ฎ๐ ? Prioritise it.

๐๐ฎ๐  ๐œ๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐ก๐š๐จ๐ฌ? Pause everything (yes, everything!) and fix it. We don't want the digital apocalypse on our hands.

If you can't talk because you're scared, grumpy, or just plain awkward, take a deep breath and adult up! Conflicts are normal; we've all been there. Learn to deal with them.

Let's not make this rocket science, folks! Keep it simple, stop overloading on ceremonies, and let's work smart, not hard! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ป
